\nBy the way all, I can reveal now that I remixed “Return To Sender”, and “(You’re The) Devil In Disguise” (plus a few more) from the three-track session tapes<\/p>\n

Just wanted to set the record straight at last!<\/p>\n

Elvis remixes.<\/p>\n

The two main ones I did, I did for a reason, since I HATE remixes (usually), as it involves playing God and tampering with musical history.<\/p>\n

“(You’re The) Devil In Disguise”.<\/p>\n

Elvis’ RCA Nashville recording engineer Bill Porter told me that although he mixed that song live to three-track and two-track (at the same time), RCA rejected his two-track mix for some reason and remixed it a year later in New York for the Elvis’ Golden Records album (was it Volume 3 or 4?) in 1964. Bill hated the RCA stereo mix. So, this is a song that I took pleasure in “restoring” to the Bill Porter version. Great song, and great music track. I must have listened to just the music on that song about 50 times. Amazing track. And then of course, I listened to just Elvis’ vocal track for a while. What breath control! Awesome!<\/p>\n

“Return To Sender”<\/p>\n

This is a song that was recorded and mixed at Radio Recorders for the “Girls, Girls, Girls” soundtrack. The two-track master sounded great, but I felt there was just too much damn compression on the song, one of my all-time favorites.<\/p>\n

My remix is faithful to the original mix in every way (echo, tonality, etc.) EXCEPT I backed off on the compressor about 1\/2.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
