Elvis : Rhythm & Blues is an excellent double CD compilation with not only a much wanted theme but a well thought out selection of alternate takes, undubbed masters and importantly masters where appropriate, for example the master for 'Memphis Tennessee' was used as we strongly felt that the alternate takes did not match the brilliance and power of the master and did not offer the unique characteristics that many of the chosen alternate takes on this set do. Like the Elvis Is Back! : The Alternate Album we focused not just on alternate takes for the sake of them but rather we carefully selected good performances first and foremost and importantly a selection that 'felt' like they belonged together, an album, songs that were consistent with the preceding track, for a very listenable experience. While we looked for and found so many interesting tracks with variations of Elvis talking, laughing etc which is where so much fun is found, it was never at the expense of quality, as in quality sound, and a good performance, nor ever allowed to get repetitive. We went by 'feel' and as it turned out only one track needed replacing with another take as it did not feel right.
