The most complete and comprehensive collection of Elvis' final studio recordings ever assembled in one anthology, Elvis Presley - King Of The Jungle is an essential and welcome addition for every fan's library. In the mid-1970s, Elvis, the King of Rock 'n' Roll, became another kind of pioneer as one of the world's first major recording artists to create fully-realized professional level records in the intimacy of his own home studio.
"&"nbsp;
With original recordings executive-produced by Elvis Presley with producer Felton Jarvis (who'd helmed most of Elvis' records from 1966-1977), Elvis Presley - King Of The Jungle brings together, for the first time in one collection, master recordings and rare outtakes laid down during two mythic sessions--February 2-8, 1976 and October 28-30, 1976--in Graceland's den known as The Jungle Room which was converted into a professional caliber recording studio for the purpose of capturing these indelible performances. The outtakes have been newly mixed by Grammy Award-winning engineer Matt Ross-Spang at Sam Phillips Recording in Memphis, Tennessee.
"&"nbsp;
For these sessions, Elvis was backed by many members of his longtime touring band including: James Burton (guitar), Ronnie Tutt (drums), David Briggs (keyboards), Glenn D. Hardin (keyboards), Jerry Scheff (bass), Norbert Putnam (bass) and J.D. Sumner "&"amp; the Stamps (vocals).
