Elvis Presley - Anything That's Part Of You - From First Take To The Master

Quite often the pleasure in listening to an Elvis song from the very first take through to the master is experiencing the process that is involved in the making a recording and witnessing the changes or tweaks, often subtle, which are required in making a song suitable for release but with the Don Robertson penned "Anything That's Part Of You" that experience is totally different as unlike the norm where early takes are often far inferior to the final master with this song every complete take is magnificent. Elvis recorded the song on 15 October 1961 in RCA's Studio B in Nashville and decided that he had found the master take after completing take ten but in truth almost any of the previous six complete takes would still have been of a high enough quality to be chosen as the master. There are some subtle differences between the first take and those that followed in that a guitar can be heard behind Floyd Cramer's utterly wonderful piano playing but in subsequent takes this guitar was removed and introduced only in the second verse and those takes benefit from that subtle change. The second take however is probably the only take which could not have been considered for the master as it contains a mistake by Elvis with the lyrics. From Floyd Cramer's incredible piano intro the listener is immediately hooked but when Elvis begins it is difficult not to feel yourself completely immersed in the song. Elvis begins at barely a whisper as he tells the story of his desperation at his lost love and how he clings to any reminder of her that he can but it is in the third where the song really takes the breath away as whilst still barely raising his voice Elvis adds power and the listener is left in doubt about the desolation of the protagonist which is compounded by the almost bare arrangement. Many of Elvis' 70's recordings would undoubtedly have benefited from Elvis using a similar style instead of the bombast which he often reverted to but "For Ol' Times Sake" recorded at Stax is one occasion where a similar style was employed by Elvis. Five songs were recorded by Elvis that Sunday evening with two songs either side of "Anything That's Part Of You" and whilst "For The Millionth An The Last Time", "Good Luck Charm", "I Met Her Today" and "Night Rider" are all fine recordings none are of the same quality. Present in the studio along with Elvis that evening were Scotty Moore and Jerry Kennedy on guitars, D.J. Fontana and Murray "Buddy" Harman on drums, Floyd Cramer on piano and organ with Homer "Boots" Randolph on sax and clarinet. Vocal accompaniment was provided by The Jordanaires and Millie Kirkham and the whole thing produced by RCA's Steve Sholes. It is a pity that this fine recording, amongst the best of Elvis' career, was relegated to the "B" side of the more radio friendly "Good Luck Charm" meaning that it would never receive the recognition it deserves and would remain largely unknown outside of Elvis' own fandom. Added purely for reasons of completeness at the end of the video is the 2104 re-recording of the song's backing by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra which could only be found as a bonus track on the "If I Can Dream" vinyl boxset and it being hidden away on the boxset can only be counted as a blessing as it is quite awful. Everything that makes the original a hidden gem is completely ripped away as the song is bombarded with strings and completely overwhelms the original recording as the essence of the original is the bare arrangement. If ever there was a song recorded by Elvis which needed no added accompaniment is it surely "Anything That's Part Of You"! As with all of these videos, to get the most out of the audio, I highly recommend you use ear /headphones and turn the volume up as much as you dare!
