Sony Music Entertainment releases Elvis Presley – I Believe – The Gospel Masters
News · Mar. 3, 2009

This 4 disc set features the complete gospel recordings plus home recordings and live bonus tracks
On March 10, Elvis Presley - I Believe - The Gospel Masters box set will be released. This unique collection is a befitting tribute to Elvis Presley's 3x Grammy Award-winning gospel and inspirational work. Discs 1 through 3 feature his entire non-secular studio masters in chronological order. Disc 4 covers the additional masters made for Elvis’ movies, his comeback TV special in 1968, and recordings made live on stage. Disc 4 also includes two segments of Elvis singing religious songs in a more informal setting. The first segment includes Elvis with J.D. Sumner and The Stamps relaxing at the end of a long day at RCA’s Hollywood studio on March 31, 1972. The final three recordings were done at his Los Angeles home in 1966, in preparation for the album HOW GREAT THOU ART.
This four discs set is remastered from the original tapes using the latest DSD technology for optimum sound quality.
As with his secular music, Elvis invented his own version of gospel, drawing from every element of his vast musical knowledge - without any musical prejudice or racial barriers. I BELIEVE - THE GOSPEL MASTERS offers the most comprehensive overview of Elvis' non-secular performances and provides testament to Elvis's musical excellence and his contribution to the popularization of religious music.
