Elvis Presley - Golden Records Volume 3 (Vinyl)

Long-overdue vinyl ‘hits’ reissue

An excellent hits series, the third volume in the Golden collection features It’s Now Or Never, Surrender and Are You Lonesome Tonight? This particular vinyl edition is long overdue. In the past, 10 years or so, the only way collectors could access a vinyl copy of this album was to buy the Simply Vinyl edition. Unfortunately, that was a poor rendition which sounded like it was sourced from a CD. Speakers Corner have done the decent thing and clearly utilised the original master tapes. The final sound is glorious and the packaging is similarly so. The front sleeve is unblemished by any modern inconvenience such as a bar code or copyright notice, allowing it to look ‘as was’.
