As promised, Justin revives Blue Suede Reviews for Elvis Week 2020 to look at the albums released during Elvis' lifetime that were left off the RCA Albums Collection box set, starting with the 1970 Camden release of "Elvis' Christmas Album" and ending with the album that eventually accompanied the 1977 CBS Special "Elvis in Concert." This episode also includes a discussion on the 1973 buyout deal with RCA that affected Elvis' catalogue for years to come. Justin will also be releasing additional episodes this week about notable posthumous albums, his Top 10 favorite Elvis lifetime albums, and perhaps more surprises! Video versions of these reviews (without audio samples) will be released on the original Blue Suede Reviews YouTube Playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLksrT1foBINwTJCYMGruFbBjsG7Gx5SnQ

In this final collection of reviews covering the last 10 discs from the RCA Albums Collection from 2016, Justin examines Elvis' shift further towards the country genre leading up to the end of his life. The final 3 discs of the 10 showcase rare recordings ranging from amateur demos and home recordings to long-lost studio cuts and jam sessions, allowing Justin to make the case that these may be the most essential tracks to filling in the blanks of Elvis' musical development.  Finally, Justin wraps up the 6 days of discussion with a heartfelt look back at the undertaking of the project and what he learned. Later this season, Justin will be reviving the Blue Suede Reviews album reviews to take a closer look at the albums left off this collection, including various compilations released within Elvis' lifetime, as well as a handful of unique, non-compilation albums released posthumously, such as Elvis in Concert, Guitar Man, The Complete Million Dollar Quartet and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra releases.

We're nearing the home stretch of Justin's reviews of the RCA Albums Collection box set from 2016. This episode may reflect the the most "bottom of the barrel" releases put out during Elvis' lifetime, with budget movie compilations like I Got Lucky pushing right up against the erroneously titled Elvis Now. But there are a few bright spots, especially in the live albums.  If you haven't heard these reviews before, or not in a while, this series will help get you up to speed on Justin's thoughts on most of Elvis' albums.  Tomorrow's episode will cover the final 7 albums included in the set from within Elvis' lifetime, plus three discs jam-packed with rarities.

Ten remarkable albums cover only a two year span in Elvis' career between 1968-1970 (11 if you count the double LP). These ten albums manage to encompass Elvis' biggest mid-60s pop hits, some of his finest movie soundtrack material, a milestone television special, three full albums worth of Elvis' most artistically mature studio material, and two vastly different live-on-stage experiences. Yeah, Justin's reviews of these 10 albums from the RCA Albums Collection box set from 2016 run long. If you haven't heard these reviews before, or not in a while, this series will help get you up to speed on Justin's thoughts on most of Elvis' albums.  Tomorrow's episode will cover albums from 1971-1973.

On day three of his review of the the RCA Albums Collection box set from 2016... between utterly baffling "Elvis for Everyone" and the gamut of movie soundtracks... well, let's just say Justin isn't looking forward to revisiting "Double Trouble" anytime soon. But there's light at the end of the tunnel as bonus tracks on "Spinout" and the "How Great Thou Art" album let Elvis fans in on a secret: he's on his way to a comeback. If you haven't heard these reviews before, or not in a while, this series will help get you up to speed on Justin's thoughts on most of Elvis' albums.  Tomorrow's episode will cover albums from 1968-1970, including arguably some of the best and most artistically satisfying of Elvis' career!

As Justin continues his reviews of the RCA Albums Collection box set from 2016, with one bonus episode per day for six days, he examines the push and pull between albums accompanying movies starring Elvis, and Elvis' non-soundtrack material. Does Justin agree that the early '60s indeed hold "Something for Everybody" or do albums like "Kissin' Cousins" make him say "Once is Enough"? If you haven't heard these reviews before, or not in a while, this series will help get you up to speed on Justin's thoughts on most of Elvis' albums.  Tomorrow's episode will cover albums from 1964-1967!
