It was backward Elvis’ized.
In the latter recordings they kept bringing his voice forward of the instruments.
He disagreed and wanted a more balanced sound but, the bills kept cummin and the songs kept selling.
It was their view Elvis’ voice was the product.
You find a better sound in the remixes being played these days.
Huh. I did not know that.
In some of the music I hear (both old and new), the voice is so far in front of band it doesn’t really sound like they’re playing together. Never liked that.
