Elvis
Presley in MONO is how most listeners first heard Elvis in the 1950s and
1960s, when it was the predominant audio format. Until 1968, each Elvis album
was given a unique MONO and STEREO mix, but Elvis always regarded the MONO mix
as primary. This was also true for singles. Up until affordable home STEREO
systems in the late 1960s, the record industry always regarded STEREO as
secondary, going back to its debut in the late 1950s. MONO singles, EPs and LPs
were the standard for retail and radio. Simply put, MONO had all of the sound
mixed in a single channel and was meant to be listened to on a turntable with a
built-in speaker, a car radio, or a stand-alone AM radio receiver. The goal was
to create MONO master takes with as much clarity and power as possible.
When
EMI released MONO masters of the Beatles in 2009, they received rave reviews.
Left out in the cold were Elvis’ loyal fans. Somehow, SONY didn’t see a reason
why they might want the pleasure of listening to his original MONO mixes. So
when we first heard about the existence of the original MONO master tapes of
Elvis’ hit singles, it was an easy decision to make these available to the fans
in a five-disc collection. Elvis' acclaimed MONO tracks have been
newly-mastered for CD, using the best digital technology. Hours were dedicated
to concentrated listening, fastidiously comparing these master tapes with mint,
MONO first pressings. The result is a perfect reproduction of Elvis' original
MONO vinyl sound!
