"The Boston Garden, November 10, 1971": Gravelroad Music label has announced a DELUXE 168 page book, including a 24k gold CD, DVD & BLU-RAY in HD to ensure the very best possible quality in any way.
The audio is a brand new transfer from soundboard tape & the footage on Blu-ray is High Definition (HD). Out in January, 2022.
Book includes: 168 pages and over 150+ rare or unknown photos of the Boston concert, from private collections, mainly in color and unedited news reviews (good & bad ones), personal stories & little known facts.
For the first time, a brand new transfer from the concert which unveils much more detail, previously unnoticed! The sheer richness and fullness is amazing. The idea of a mono recording is gone! The best thing is, this is the real deal!
Publicity states, “Do gold CDs sound better? Are they really that much better than regular CDs?” Short answer : “You bet!” - The fact is that the gold disc's aural improvements are audible under any circumstances. Yes they can be played in any CD/DVD/Blu-ray player.
To us, this concert doesn’t need any enhancements to overwhelm the listener, it is the first row with ELVIS & 15,000 fans at the Boston Garden! It sounds all new.
|
 |
There was additional work but it all started with the transfer and we loved it! It’s a thrill to hear it like this.
Plus footage of Boston & the November tour also in HD on Blu-ray. Almost 2 hours and yes, it includes little bit of new footage too. The very first release in High definition!
We’ve chosen to use dual-layer DVD to have the best possible quality on a DVD. As a bonus we added a compilation of Boston & Tuscaloosa to have a more enjoyable viewing expirience of the Boston concert. Although priority has been given to the historical content. So you’re good to go either way!
EIN Note: Regarding quality discussed above.
A. Gold and silver CDs both generally reproduce ones and zeros with total accuracy. For audio quality it is the mastering and source quality that matters. |
 |
B. Stating that the video quality is “HIGH DEFINITION” truly depends on the quality of what was filmed in the first place - which was fan-footage.
Set includes..
1 Book 168 pages and over 150+ mainly rare or unknown color photos of the Boston concert
1 24k Gold CD with high-end audio
1 DUAL-LAYER DVD with 2 hours footage of Boston concert & November tour.
1 BLU-RAY same content but in HIGH DEFINITION (HD)
All region free & no copy protection for personal use!

'Elvis Hawaii 1973' Double 10" Vinyl: From the UK "Elvis - Hawaii 1973" the re-release of Aloha as a 10-Inch Double Album on Sky Blue Vinyl. Presumably released through EU 'Public Domain' as being originally a "TV broadcast", the cover design is a shocker. The publicity sadly describes the artist as sometimes "bloated and intoxicated" and states...
.. Elvis Presley died 16th August, 1977 at the age of 42. In his last years, bloated and intoxicated, his shows were lacklustre, a sad reminder of his previously outstanding talent. By contrast however, the show on this record is a moment of brilliance. This is the soundtrack of the satellite broadcast of his concert special from Hawaii on 14th January 1973. This was arguably his final moment of genius.
Featuring many classics from Presley’s catalogue, the 22 songs he performed included Blue Suede Shoes, Hound Dog and An American Trilogy.The broadcast was seen by approximately 1.3 billion people in 36 |

countries and remains a fan favourite that clearly demonstrates the abilities of the man they call ‘The King’ – Elvis Presley. - Costs US$52 & Postage

'February 1970, Las Vegas International Hotel' 7cd Bootleg: EIN has been saying all year that the Bootleg Vaults are basically empty - bar the occaisional miracle (like Kansas City 1974).
Well let's end the year with yet another useless announcement from a no-name label
'February 1970, Las Vegas International Hotel'- coming out next month is a limited 7 CD set (300 copies) that features shows from February 1970 over seven CDs. Limited Edition - what a surprise!
CD 1 - January 26, 1970 Opening Show In Glorious Mono
CD 2 - February 15, 1970 Midnight Show
CD 3 - February 16, 17,18 Shows
CD 4 - February 18, 19 Shows
CD 5 - February 19, 1970 Midnight Show
CD 6 - The Felton Jarvis Rough Mix Album
CD 7 - February 23, 1970 Closing Show
EIN would immediately point out that it is a direct copy of 'Walk A Mile In My Shoes' Elvis On Stage January / February 1970' a 7cd set that came out in September 2018.
|
 |
(EIN commented at the time "The set features nothing new gathering all its material from official releases as well as previous bootlegs such as 'Elvis Rebooked'. The bootleggers are struggling to make a buck. Checking the tracklist they have taken the recent FTD 'OFF STAGE' release and re-sequenced it to the two correct concerts. Other material is such as FTD's 'Polk Salad Annie' Feb 15th show. It all combines to makes 7CDs, albeit the two 16th & 17th shows being only the 6 / 7 songs released by FTD so are super short. )
And now it gets another flogging - you can find it at dealers for around US$77 so that's pretty cheap - but who knows the quality?
Happy Elvis Bootleg New Year everybody! -- May 2022 brings us some nice surprises.

"Elvis: Back in Nashville" Out Now!: The official announcement from SONY that the long-awaited box-set is officially released.
The SONY publicity notes... This comprehensive collection chronicles Elvis’ fabled 1971 marathon recording session that would be his final session in Nashville.
These pristine recordings reveal some of the most compelling singing of his career and include “I’m Leavin’,” “My Way,” and “If Fools Rush In (Where Angels Fear To Tread).”
EIN NOTE: Sadly the song is called "Fools Rush In" and not “If Fools Rush In"!
"Elvis: Back in Nashville" is an essential addition to any collection.
Like its predecessor 'Elvis: Back In Nashville' is designed to showcase Elvis and his core band as they sounded during the actual sessions without orchestral overdubs and vocal accompaniment. A key difference between Elvis’ 1970 and 1971 Nashville sessions is that many of the 1971 recordings included backing singers; therefore, 'Elvis: Back In Nashville' offers a variety of song performances both with and without vocal augmentation.
This amazing collection is available on vinyl 2 LP 12” edition and 4-CD Box Set!

MRS presents 'ELVIS: September 1970' in-depth Review: MRS's new 2CD deluxe set features a new previously unreleased soundboard from 2nd September 1970 and a bonus CD that covers the final rehearsals at the International Hotel on August 10th before the start of the summer festival.
In September 1970 Elvis was still excited to be back on stage and performing for his fans. Newspaper reviews of his concerts wrote about the excitement and fun Elvis was having back on-stage.
This brand-new previously unknown concert captures Elvis feeling 'loose-as-a-goose' yet still performing with a real intensity. His live versions of ‘You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’’, 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' were truly exceptional this evening.
The accompanying 40-page booklet of the CD deluxe includes rare photographs and memorabilia taken during these engagements along with introductory notes.
EIN's Nigel Patterson and Piers Beagley check out this new collection and enjoy a hilarious ride-with-the-king.

“I’ll Take You Home Again Kathleen” New Promo Video: The new 50th Anniv release 'Elvis Back In Nashville' is out next month, Nov 12.
On May 20, 1971 in the early hours of the morning, having laid down a few tracks for his up-coming Gospel album, Elvis sat down at the piano on his own and trying to relive the emotion of singing alone in Graceland, Elvis sang three old favourites for his studio friends.
These were two by Ivory Joe Hunter 'It's Still Here' and 'I Will Be True' plus an old classic 'I’ll Take You Home Again Kathleen'.
Elvis singing alone playing piano in Studio B was a totally unique situation and was luckily recorded by RCA.

Elvis only sang the one take. This would be overdubbed by Felton Jarvis for album release -Go here to YouTube to watch.

| Another pile of barrel-scraping bootlegs. EIN was banned from commenting on FECC and Phoenix Elvis forums about "The Collapse of the Bootleg Empire" yet these new ridiculous releases below are still being flogged by the 'Usual Suspects'. You know who you are. We know who you are. - Buyers Beware. |
‘Doncha' Think It's Time' A new 1958 Album’ New Import: A brand new "58" cd with amazing new spliced takes and remastered masters.
On the FTD album "King Creole" new mixes of the studio masters were released, these were done by Thorne Nogar and had studio snippets, like small talk and counting of to the takes, although it is nice to have it does not play as it should. Here presented for the first time are those masters without that.
Also included are some new and unreleased "spliced takes of other songs from 1958 as well as some "essential" home recordings, also edited for your listening pleasure.
The highlight of this album must be both "reversed" masters of the title track "Doncha Think It's Time" for both masters four takes were used, on this album the same four takes are used, but this time they used the parts that were not released at the time so you get two COMPLETE new versions of this great song.
Also not to be missed is the new "Ain't That Loving You Baby" which starts of with the slow version and ends with the rockin' version.

‘Elvis 27 - Essential Sixties Splices Vol.3’ New Import: The series continues and focuses on1962;
Elvis was 27 when he recorded all these great tracks.
Amazing new tracks are created for your listening pleasure
One of the highlights is "Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello" which has been created using different keys througout the whole track, it sounds like a brandnew song!
"Return To Sender" sounds very different and has a new opening.
Another gem is the version of "Because of Love" and although there are no outtakes of this song it does sound different then the master, listen to the first words and judge for yourself.
Most songs have been extended using different takes which mean just like previous volumes you get more of the songs without using the same portions.

Three New FTD Releases for November: After a few quiet months - see FTD fire story below - FTD announce three new releases for next month. The long-awaited "Pot Luck Sessions" as a 5cd set, a Spring 1975 double- soundboard from Tampa and Atlanta (both previously unreleased) and the 'Raised On Rock' double VINYL.
- 'Elvis: The Pot Luck Sessions' 5cd box-set: FTD’s acclaimed series continues with one of the most commercially successful recording sessions of Elvis’ career 'The Pot Luck Sessions'.
It is without doubt the ultimate triumph for Hill & Range’s song plugger Freddy Bienstock. Superbly crafted hits like “Little Sister”, (Marie’s The Name) His Latest Flame”, “Good Luck Charm” and She’s Not You” dominated pop charts throughout the world in the early ‘60s and Elvis’ flawless performances accompanied by Nashville’s finest musicians still resonate today some 60 years later.

If “Easy Question”, “Suspicion” “I’m Yours” and “Kiss Me Quick” had been released as 45 rpm singles during this fertile period, and not years after, undoubtedly each could have matched the chartbusting success of the others.
This remastered 5-CD boxed set includes a 28-page booklet featuring an insightful essay, rare photographs, memorabilia, and recording data
Go here to all the FTD / SONY News 2021 for full tracklist |
- 'Elvis: South Bound' 2cd Soundboard: As part of its ongoing live on tour series, FTD is pleased to announce the release of 'Elvis: South Bound Tampa / Atlanta ‘75'.
Released as a 2-CD 5” digi-pak, this set features Elvis' two shows: Curtis Hixon Convention Center, Tampa, April 26, 1975 (2:30 PM) and Omni Coliseum, Atlanta, May 2, 1975 (8:30 PM)
Both soundboards are incomplete with both concerts starting after 'I Got A Woman' with Elvis' third song 'Love Me'...
EIN Note: in 2017 FTD released 'Elvis In Altanta' two of his three 1975 shows that he performed in this tour. At the time we noted that the audio mix left a little to be desired "The sound quality is what we expect from this tour with VERY prominent Piano and Voices but with everything else - drums, guitar, orchestra - way in the background. The benefit is you can easily hear Elvis" but we also noted "There is no doubt that he was well loved by his adoring audiences in Atlanta. The Omni ‘Opening Night’ captures a great crowd reaction and Elvis truly enjoying himself on stage. Worth playing several times." lets hope his final Omni performance is as good.

- 'Elvis: Raised On Rock' Double-VINYL: Following on from the recent success of Girls! Girls! Girls! Release, FTD Vinyl is pleased to announce the release of “Raised On Rock: I’ve Got Rhythm In My Soul" on 180 Gram Limited Vinyl Edition”.
The album contains masters, rough mixes and alternative versions of great songs recorded at Stax Studio in 1973 such as “Find Out What’s Happening”, “Just A Little Bit”, “For Ol’ Times Sake” and “If You Don’t Come Back”.
Also included are the instrumental tracks for “The Wonders You Perform”, “Sweet Angeline”, “Color My Rainbow”, “Good, Bad But Beautiful, and the rehearsal take of “It’s Diff’rent Now”.
The album kicks off with the excellent 'Find Out What’s Happening', 'For Ol’ Times Sake' and 'Raised On Rock' "Rough mixes"

MRS ‘Las Vegas International Presents Elvis – September 1970' PREVIEW: MRS will release the most anticipated 'new' ELVIS concert of the year with 'Las Vegas International Presents Elvis – September 1970' on 24th September 2021.
The formats include a 2CD deluxe that will feature a new previously unreleased soundboard from 2nd September 1970 and a bonus CD, that will cover the final rehearsals at the International Hotel on August 10th before the start of the summer festival.
In September 1970 Elvis was still excited to be back on stage and performing for his fans.
Newspaper reviews of his concerts wrote about the excitement and fun Elvis was having back on-stage.
This brand new Las Vegas show truly captures that 1970 excitement.
Other formats include 2 separate 180-gram LPs of the above and a very limited-edition cassette of the September show.
The accompanying 40-page booklet of the CD deluxe includes rare photographs and memorabilia taken during these engagements along with introductory notes.
Now go HERE to Juno records to PREVIEW 20 seconds of every track - It is a true gem and will be hard to beat as THE new release for 2021. |

'Elvis: The 1968 TV Special Recordings I & 2' New Bootlegs: ALHECODE Records (who?) presents Elvis: The 1968 TV Special Recordings Volume 1 & 2, a great collection of alternate recordings from the legendary TV special!
None of these recordings are included on offical cd's (like on the official 1968 Comeback boxset), so these are a great addition to make your collection complete.
All recordings are presented in the best possible sound! For the first time together on 2 great albums! Outtakes, instrumental versions, radio spots...
Enjoy these alternate recordings like never before!
Both CDs are Elvis fan only releases and released in limited quantities. (EIN is not surprised!)
EIN NOTE: Elvis collectors who buy these bootlegs must surely have the 2004 RCA/BMG '68 Comeback Special Deluxe DVD' release.
If so, these audio recordings are the same as the DVD but without the visual experience of watching Elvis in action!
As EIN commented in our controversial spotlight, The Bootleg Elvis Vault is at the bottom-of-the-barrel

'Elvis On Tour' New Greensboro Bootleg: With the 50th anniversary approaching the bootleg market is keen to get your dollars. After all FTD / SONY will be releasing their official versions in 2022.
This week 'Golden Globe Records' presents 'Elvis On Tour' April 14, 1972 Greensboro, North Carolina.
Golden Globe Records presents their third deluxe 2LP set containing the fantastic April 14 1972 show recorded in Greensboro, North Carolina. In total 4 shows were recorded for the Golden Globe winning motion picture “Elvis On Tour”. This is the very first proper high quality outing of this show on vinyl.

A CD version is also added to this package.
This limited edition is available in RED or BLUE vinyl. (EIN is not surprised!)
Perhaps it is a nice treat for VINYL collectors but surely Elvis collectors who buy these bootlegs must already have Elvis Greensboro via another previous bootleg.

'Collected Works Part Two' TTWII New Bootleg: Yet more 'TTWII" rehearsals out on bootleg - can we hear the barrel being scraped?
'Collected Works Part Two' JULY / AUGUST 1970. The publicity states.. It’s 1970 and it’s the start of a new Vegas season. Again the record company is present to record the first shows of what is often referred to as Elvis’ “Summer Festival 1970”. The recordings were meant for both the release of a documentary filmed by MGM and the accompanying soundtrack. But not only the record company had tapes rolling during the shows and the rehearsals. Also MGM did some so called CAMERA RECORDINGS. This set presents you some of these important recordings. Often more complete or unique compared to the recordings made by RCA.
Especially the July 14 rehearsal recordings contain some not to be missed essential recordings. Most likely only MGM has recorded this rehearsal. On this set you are able to |
 |
hear some of these recordings not issued at all or not issued in their entirety on any other release to date. For example Elvis and the band are listening to the acetates of “Bridge Over Troubled Water” , and according to Elvis it would be “a hell of a production on stage”. In which he was right. Besides some essential conversations the performances are very powerful and a great example of Elvis’ vocal abilities.
Also presented here are some essential uncut and unedited recordings from the July 15 rehearsal.
The recordings presented here are a great addition to the brilliant 50th anniversary release. None of these recordings are sourced from this release and all recordings are uncut, unedited, and remastered using the latest technology for your listening pleasure.
The final MGM recordings were made on August 14, during the midnight show and also these recordings are featured on this set.
As a bonus this set includes the complete soundtrack (on 2 cd’s) with all its overdubs and edits as can be heard in the original 1970 theatrical version. Unique mono mixes from 1970.
This limited edition is now available.
EIN NOTE: Elvis collectors who buy these bootlegs must surely have the previous TTWII rehearsal releases plus previous TTWII outtake DVDs.

'Collected Works Part Two' TTWII Rehearsal New Bootleg: Yet more 'TTWII" rehearsals out on bootleg - can we hear the barrel being scraped?
'Collected Works Part Two' August 1970 Rehearsals. Vollume 3 in the COLLECTED WORKS series presents you some fantastic recordings from August 1970. Just as with the tracks on volume 2 these recordings are an addition to the brilliant 50th anniversary release. There should be no need to re-release the same recordings presented on that release. The tracks selected for this set are either unreleased or not issued the way they are presented here. That means more complete, uncut and unedited.
For the first time, you can hear the rehearsals of the backing vocalists singing along with acetates during the August 4 rehearsal. Also, all uncut and unedited versions of the August 7 rehearsal are included. For example, you can hear Elvis suggests to Dennis Sanders (as a joke we hope) to hang Lamar from the balcony, which got a big laugh from the insiders present. Again the recordings that are officially released are left out to avoid offering the same material over and over again.
|
 |
The official release of the AUGUST 10 rehearsal has been a big subject of discussion. Unfortunately the songs are not recorded in their entirety. On the official releases these recordings have been made complete for listening pleasure. Although the results were pretty good, the necessary editing resulted in parts of the original recordings being cut. Here we present you the original rehearsal as recorded on august 10 1970. These recordings are remastered & speed corrected using the latest technology, with great result.
As a bonus this deluxe package contains the LOST PERFORMANCES on DVD (for the first time!). This fan favorite was previously bootlegged as a DVD in 2013.
This limited edition (including 16 page booklet) is now available.
EIN NOTE: Elvis collectors who buy these bootlegs must surely have the previous TTWII rehearsal releases plus previous TTWII outtake DVDs.

DVD: THE LOST PERFORMANCES
Early in 1986, during a routine inspection of the underground vaults at the MGM/Turner library in Kansas, a pallet loaded with cans was discovered. The cans contained numerous original negative trims and outtakes from “That’s The Way It Is” and “Elvis On Tour”, which have now been edited together to create this fabulous compilation, a must for fans and collectors. |

'Kansas City '74 Revisited - Afternoon Performance (Stereo / Mono Version)' New Import: From Millbranch Music a release of a limited edition 2cd version of their recent 'Kansas City '74 Revisited' the June 29, 1974 Afternoon Show in (newly created) stereo and as the original mono soundboard recording.
Released only four weeks ago the premium package 2CD / DVD-set Kansas City Revisited' has already sold out! As quite a few fans requested the release of the previously unreleased Afternoon Show in its original form (in "glorious mono sound, directly from the soundboard) we decided to release a Special Limited 2-CD Edition featuring exactly this "raw tape" version along with the stereo version as featured on our first release of this concert.
Listen to the exciting performance by Elvis from his fabulous early Summer 1974 Tour. Kansas City was the place to go on June 29, 1974, because Elvis was willing to deliver two extremely entertaining shows of high standard - and he did!
The evening show of this day has been released a couple of times already, but have you ever heard the Afternoon Show from the same day as a soundboard recording? Probably yes, especially when you got yourself a copy of our recent 2-CD / 1-DVD release. If you haven't been so lucky, or preferred the original mono version, this is the set for you.

New MRS VINYL Review: What Elvis playlist do you listen to on August 16th ever year? Mine is always some recent new VINYL.
There is something so tactile and visual about VINYL that not only does it feel more "genuine" but it also reminds me of when Elvis was alive and everything we listened to was on vinyl.
This year 2021 - while in CV19 lockdown - my most recently acquired vinyl were the three recent MRS VINYL releases and what fine and innovative albums they are.
- 'Las Vegas International Presents Elvis – August 1969' - Single album.
- 'Las Vegas International Presents Elvis – January Thru February 1970' - Double album.
- 'Elvis Summer Festival 1970 - The Rehearsals' - Triple album.
Featuring three concerts of Elvis at the height of his Las Vegas return-to-splendour power, plus a triple album of Elvis' TTWII rehearsals, all packaged as stunning vinyl releases - these were certainly a neat way of celebrating Elvis Week.
EIN's Piers Beagley spins the discs and checks them out.

'Collected Work Part 1 Feb 70' New Import: Elvis' first live LP "Elvis In Person" reached the gold status in less than two months after its release. No wonder RCA decided to record another live album early 1970. This resulted in the "Elvis On Stage" LP featuring live performances from February 1970 at the International Hotel in Las Vegas. The whole project as produced by Felton Jarvis contained slight overdubs and applause.
The recordings presented here are mostly undubbed or they are presented in unique mixes. Most of the tracks are sourced from near mint acetates containing those unique mixes.
The original "Elvis On Stage" LP only reached the gold status eight months after its release. A reason may be that the album did not contain the usual golden oldies which you would expect on a live album. The album showed Elvis has grown beyond his hits and became an all-round entertainer. Also presented in this box set are two complete AUDIENCE recorded midnight performances after the RCA crew left the building.
Just as all recordings on this set also these vibrant audience recordings are digitally remastered for optimum listening pleasure.
EIN Note: All previously released bootleg material with two average sounding audience recordings. Feb 21 previously on 'Let It Be Me', Feb 22 on 'Kentucky Rain'. More proof that the bootleg barrel is empty. Buyer Beware. |

MRS 'Elvis September 1970' CD Sampler: "It's been a long time baby" since EIN has got hold of a promotional 'CD Sampler' for a new Elvis release.
Samplers do become real collectables, so perhaps RCA/FTD should be thinking about one for their future 'On Tour' release.
MRS however have released a very impressive new five track sampler for their ‘Las Vegas International Presents Elvis – September 1970' which will be out on 24th September 2021.
The sampler runs 12 minutes and gives a unique insight into this previously unreleased 2nd September Las Vegas Dinner show.
The first thing of note is that the audio quality is extremely good for a soundboard.
Not only that but MRS are releasing a "digitally extracted" stereo version.
And there is no doubt at all that Elvis was up for some fun that night.
He plays with the band and teases the audience to great effect. RCA sure haven't released this show!
It sounds more like Elvis' good humour often shown in his Midnight concerts rather than the more sedate Dinner shows. - And what a stylish CD design too!
Truly a collector's delight.
EIN gives you the opportunity to check out two |

A great addition to the official releases with all known "alternate" recordings collected on one great cd!
As all releases from the Gold Standard label this is a very limited edition release.

'Please Release Me - And Other Great Songs!' New Import CD: Paradise Road Records presents ' Elvis Sings Please Release Me - And Other Great Songs!' at the International Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada.
Yet another AUDIENCE recording re-release.
A new album with the great August 24, 1970 midnight show and a part of the pre-show of the August 12, 1970 midnight show with 'A Thing Called Love' by The Imperials.
The August 24 midnight show is an audience recording (in very good sound) not to be missed with Elvis in great mood singing parts of 'Ave Maria' and 'Spanish Eyes', a great version of 'When The Snow Is On The Roses' (with 3 false starts), the medley 'Blue Suede Shoes / Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On' and a great show ending when Elvis singing 'Release Me' after the first notes of 'Can't Help Falling In Love'.
The pre-show tracks by The Imperials is a nice addition taken from the MGM tapes.
Together with our 'Oh Happy Day' release this cd contains probably one of the most interesting shows from Elvis 3rd Vegas season and presented on this cd in the best possible sound!
Including a booklet with photos and recording information.
EIN Notes: Previously available as 'The Hillbilly Cat Returns' in pretty average sound quality. Buyer Beware. |

'Elvis 26 - Essential Sixties Splices Vol. 2' New Import CD: After the first release in this series (25) CMT is proud to present the second volume, again some incredible brand new, unreleased spliced takes are on this release and focusses on 1961;
Elvis was 26 when he recorded all these great tracks.
As always, expect some nice surprises, since a lot of the tracks sound very different than what has been released before.
It kicks of with an AMAZING new version of "His Latest Flame" , in the studio they tried out different tempo's, these are combined here and the opening starts of slow and turns into a great new version!
Another highlight is the new "harmony" version of "I'm Yours", where the album version is harmony all the way, this version only has parts, it sounds fresh and to our humble opinion better then the versions released so far. "Follow That Dream" has a longer ending, using all takes available to get a different sound.
Also included is a spliced take of "Can't Help Falling in Love", which uses officially unreleased takes.
We could go on and on, since every track on this album is something you have never heard, pre-order now so you can enjoy another great CMT release!
Limited to 500 copies this one will be sold out soon, pre-order now!

'Felton Jarvis - 40th Anniversary' Import CD: Felton Jarvis worked for RCA Victor and became involved in Elvis' studio sessions from 1966 onwards. In the late 1950s he also recorded songs (including 'Don't Knock Elvis'!) but Jarvis is better known as a record producer.
Unfortunately health problems caused his early death in 1981 aged only 46.
In 1980, three years after Elvis' death, Jarvis was the first producer to have the idea "refreshing" Elvis' recordings. By remaking the musicians' background, added to Elvis' original vocal track, a new version could be created. The result of this was the 1981 album "Guitar Man". This idea has been repeated multiple times since!
The Felton-Import label announces the release of the double CD "Felton Jarvis - 40th Anniversary" which includes songs by Felton Jarvis, Mac davis, James Burton, 18 tracks by Elvis, songs Jarvis helped create, interviews plus a 12-page booklet.

'ELVIS: Las Vegas Hilton ‘73' FTD Review: Released last month as double 5” digi-pak, this set features Elvis in two shows at the Las Vegas Hilton, August 20 (midnight) and September 2nd (3AM) - in his 9th Las Vegas season.
The August 20, 1973 (Midnight Show) is an old favourite that was released as a Fort Baxter bootleg back in 1995 on 'A Profile The King On Stage Vol 1'. It was a "stereo sound booth audience recording" in pretty good quality.
The September 2, 1973 (3AM show) however is previously unreleased - and it is great fun!
After the earlier traumas Elvis’ health had improved by his 1973 Las Vegas Summer Season and while there is a slight feeling of boredom (which can be no surprise after the peak of Aloha) Elvis was enjoying himself teasing the audience and playing pranks. He would also add new songs ‘Trouble’ and ‘My Boy’ to the setlist while still feeling the freshness of ‘Steamroller Blues’.
Go here as Elvis soundboard super-collector Geoffrey McDonnell & Piers Beagley check out this new set ....

'Kickin' It Down In Baltimore' New Import: From the Ampex label ''Kickin' It Down In Baltimore'' the fantastic November, 9 1971 concert in Baltimore, MD.
While previously released on ''An Unforgettable Night In Baltimore'' we have managed to find a much better sounding tape from a completely new AUDIENCE RECORDING source!
The november tour hasn't properly been represented before outside of a soundboard and a couple of not so good audience recordings, a shame because after a tired but succesful vegas season Elvis reinvigorated himself and performed what could be considered his best tour of the 70's, decked in some newly made jumpsuits and shows usually lasting over and hour combined with the newly joined J.D. Sumner & The Stamps Quartet replacing the Imperials good times never seemed so good, so it's great when a good sounding tape like this shows up after nearly 50 years proving what an electrifying performer Elvis really was.
Featuring fantastic performances of ''It's Now Or Never'' ''Are You Lonesome Tonight'' ''How Great Thou Art'' ''Bridge Over Troubled Water'' ''Help Me Make It Through "The Night'' ''The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face'' and many more, presented in a digipack filled with photos this release will be sure to please your eyes and ears.
We have more releases in store featuring some brand new shows!

'Elvis Hilton Dinner Show 5th Feb 1973' Import CD & Vinyl: From UK's Townsend Music label the 'Elvis Vegas Hilton Dinner Show, 5th February 1973'.
The publicity notes.. Fresh from the triumph of his historic Aloha From Hawaii TV special, Elvis launched into another sold-out season at the Las Vegas Hilton, singing to sold-out audiences of 2000 a time.
Although he had recently filed for divorce and was allegedly battling throat troubles, as well as taking a good number of prescription meds, he put on a typically slick and entertaining show.
- An incredible performance live from Las Vegas, Nevada
- Includes the entire PBS-TV broadcast
- Presented here together with background notes and images.
On CD and Limited Edition White Vinyl. See Townsend Music here for orders.
EIN Note: This was never a PBS broadcast. The Feb 5th dinner show has never been released in any good quality so we believe it to be the well-known Feb 3rd Dinner show.Whatever you think, this seems to be a con or at least barrel-scraping

Yet more AUDIENCE recordings being re-released. Surely ERNST has won the battle of the bootlegs! |
'Let It Be Me (February 1970)' New Import: Paradise Road Records presents Elvis Sings Let It Be Me at the International Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada.
A new album with the complete February 23, 1970 dinner show and additional songs recorded during the dinner show on February 3 and the midnight show on February 22. These AUDIENCE recordings give you the best impression of these shows; You hear how the audience reacts. Elvis sings songs like 'Don't Cry Daddy', 'Kentucky Rain', 'Long Tall Sally' and many others.
The February 23, 1970 dinner show was first released on the 2nd cd from the album 'Rock In Black' (released in 2007) but wrongly dated as the February 22, 1970 midnight show.
This limited edition album is a follow-up to the album ‘Elvis Sings Don't Cry Daddy’ presenting other great recordings from February 1970... Pure stage power!

MRS ‘Las Vegas International Presents Elvis – September 1970': MRS will release a series of special releases titled ‘Las Vegas International Presents Elvis – September 1970' on 24th September 2021.
The formats include a 2CD deluxe that will feature a new previously unreleased soundboard from 2nd September 1970 and a bonus CD, that will cover the final rehearsals at the International Hotel on August 10th before the start of the summer festival with great technological improvements upgrades.
In September 1970 Elvis was still excited to be back on stage and performing for his fans.
Newspaper reviews from his concerts captured the excitement..
"Elvis Presley, head thrown back, feet wide apart, reaching out for adoration - the frantic screams reached the rafters of the building and hung there - an umbrella of screams.
At 35, Elvis is still youthful and trim, the jaw firm, hair jet black and long.
The main difference in Elvis today from the young man in the fifties is a mellowness. There is less arrogance in the man and more humor.
During his fine performance last night, he smiled often and laughed at his own antics.
But, even in all-white jump suit with white shoes |
|
and Indian belt, there is still a touch of the "grease" in Elvis. If there is a raw power in the man, there also is great sensitivity.
An Evening with Elvis Presley will make a television viewer realize how much Tom Jones has copied Elvis' style and that the real product is so much better."
This brand new Las Vegas show also captures that 1970 excitement.
Other formats include 2 separate 180-gram LPs of the above and a very limited-edition cassette of the September show.
The accompanying 40-page booklet of the CD deluxe includes rare photographs and memorabilia taken during these engagements along with introductory notes.

'A Legendary Performer Volume 9' New Import CD: From the reawakened 'Madison' label. Their publicity states... After a long break (believe it or not, our last release was 2009), the Madison label is back with a number of new releases to delight you.
One of our favorite projects was the Legendary Performer volumes, and we are continuing with this series with many new volumes in the pipeline. Our plan is to include many unreleased tracks - which is very rare nowadays, as most releases offer nothing new.
Our first release is A Legendary Performer Volume 9 and is dedicated to “The Crazy Canuck”. In this volume we have included a number of unreleased tracks and it comes - as you have come to expect a beautiful 16 page booklet.
In this new volume we have included 23 tracks that will offer something for everybody. For example, ‘(Let’s Have A) Party’ has never sounded better (it has been taken from a different source master). We have also included an unreleased alternate take of ‘I’ve Got Confidence’ from 1971, and ‘Stay Away’ (Take 13) appears for the first time in pristine stereo, not the fake stereo that is now popular these days. The same goes for the x-rated version of ‘Only The Strong Survive’, which appears in true stereo for the first time. Also, we have included the previously unreleased take 10 of ‘Padre’. Meanwhile, ‘Stranger In My Own Hometown’ is the unedited, overdubbed, master which comes in great sound and runs for a full 5 minutes, while ‘Promised Land’ (Take 1) is taken from a different mix and sounds much better...
|
 |
 |
| EIN Notes: Beggars can’t be choosers but 15 years ago the Madison label put out quality releases of unavailable Elvis product but (like other bootleggers) they now seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel. They note that only 10 tracks are “previously unreleased” but even then some of those are ‘stereo’ as opposed to previous mono or “better mixes” or off acetates. |
Track listing:
1. Maybellene [Reworked version August 20, 1955]
2. Don't Be Cruel [Live, September 9, 1956]
3. (Let's Have A) Party [a better-quality source master] *
4. Got A Lot O Livin' To Do! [Movie version - composite - from an acetate] *
5. Ain't That Loving You Baby [Fast version - spliced tks 7,8 & 1]
6. Fountain Of Love [Takes 8, 6]
7. The Bullfighter Was A Lady [Takes 2 & 3, Spliced]
8. Please, Don't Drag That String Around [Takes 3, 5]
9. Memphis, Tennessee [1963 - Rejected Master]
10. Easy Come, Easy Go [Take 9]
11. Stay Away [Take 13 in Stereo]*

13. Stranger In My Own Hometown - [Unedited, overdubbed master] *
14. I've Got Confidence [Take 3, From Acetate] *
15. Padre [Take 10] *
16. It's Over [April 10, 1972 Multi-Track from Acetate] *
17. I Got A Feelin' In My Body [Unreleased studio rehearsal with take 1] *

23. For Ol’ Times Sake (Duet with Tony Joe White)
*Previously Unreleased |
And thanks to ELSandro on FECC who spotted that three tracks have already been released of previous "Madison" Legendary releases!
Fountain Of Love [Takes 8, 6] already available on "A Legendary Performer Vol 6".
Please, Don't Drag That String Around [Takes 3, 5] on "A Legendary Performer Vol 5".
"Easy Come, Easy Go" (Take 9) "A Legendary Performer Vol 5".
As EIN stated in our review of 'A Legendary Performer Vol 7' back in 2006, "There is no doubt that Madison has produced some of the highest quality Elvis product on the market but to me this has a slight ‘Colonel Parker’ feel about flogging the product as fast as you can." |
Two New FTDs: Two new FTDs have been announced, a double 1974 soundboard plus 'Girls!, Girls!, Girls!' on VINYL.
1.“ELVIS: FORT WORTH, TEXAS ‘74”. FTD is pleased to announce the release of “ELVIS: FORT WORTH, TEXAS ‘74”- June 16, 1974. Released as a 5” digipack, and taken from the original soundboard source, this 2-CD set features Elvis in excellent form from the summer tour of 1974.
Elvis was in great form at the two shows on Father’s Day! Songs include “Big Boss Man”, “Funny How Time Slips Away”, “How Great Thou Art” and “Help Me”.
These two performances have never been released on Soundboard before.
While the setlists were very similar Elvis did perform the rare-for-on-tour-1974 'How Great Thou Art' at the evening show.
EIN Adds: Elvis performed four shows at the 14,000 seater Tarrant County Convention Center in Fort Worth Texas. These were the first four shows of Elvis' Tour #11 so he was ready to rock.
The Opening Show newspaper review included, |
 |
"Elvis put on one sharp, uptown and professional show here Saturday afternoon. Wrapped skintight or loosely white bellbottoms and waist-length jacket. Elvis had the show in the palm of his hand.
He moved smoothly through a few Elvis oldies and wheeled into heavier stuff ...'Why Me Lord' and 'Suspicious Minds'.
Elvis was relaxed, comfortable before an obviously warm audience. His easy rapport with backup musicians and singers buoyed the show."
FTD have previously released five shows from this tour #11 all very enjoyable listening.
Rockin' Across Texas (CD1) June 19, Sold Out! CD2 June 21, ELVIS: Omaha Nebraska '74 CD1&2 June 30 (both shows), Fashion For A King (CD1) Omaha July 1. |
While the setlists were very similar Elvis did perform the rare-for-on-tour-1974 'How Great Thou Art' at the evening show.

2. 'GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS!' – Limited Double VINYL
FTD VINYL is please to announce the release of 'GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS!' – 180 Gram Limited Double VINYL Edition.
The design is inspired by the original European RCA Victor ‘60s release.
The album contains masters and alternative versions of several songs from the soundtrack sessions.
“Plantation Rock” and “Dainty Little Moonbeams”/ ”Girls! Girls! Girls!” End Title are here in their rightful place at last!
EIN Adds: As most fans are aware most of the session reels have been lost. This means FTD have little to work with and the albums included multiple versions of 'Mama' - three tracks on Side 4 are various versions of 'Mama'!
Recorded March 26-28, 1962 at Radio Recorders, Hollywood.

'Elvis Presley Live' - new vinyl and CD from RoxVox: Elvis Presley, live from the International Hilton Hotel, Las Vegas 26th January 1970. From 1969 through 1976, Elvis Presley performed 641 stage shows during 15 engagements at the International/Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas. The entertainment press widely covered his opening Vegas appearance in August 1969, and RCA issued a live album spotlighting his return to the concert stage. Fuelled by a subsequent host of recordings, photos, and books through the years, those initial engagements still resonate loudly as a turning point in Presley’s career. The backing of the TCB Band was also undeniably fundamental throughout these performances and in enforcing the physical and emotional power of Elvis Presley, live in Las Vegas. Rox Vox very proudly presents, live from the Hilton Hotel, Las Vegas on 26th January 1970; the legend, the king of rock ‘n’ roll; Elvis Aaron Presley. Professionally re-mastered original PBS-TV broadcast with background liners and rare archival photos.
EIN Note: This is yet another 'Public Domain' release of the recent MRS 'Las Vegas 26th January 1970' show. Looks like multiple labels are now following in MRS footsteps. |

'Sold Out 6' DVD: Another 'Sold Out' DVD, this time featuring Dave Hebler! There’s always a reason for celebration when a new volume of ‘Sold Out!’ is released, because you know that you are going to get almost three hours of ultra-rare Elvis 8mm footage that up to now had only been privy to a select few. And at only a fraction of the price of what others have paid to own this remarkable footage. This time, the focus is on 1972 – 1977, and the set contains 22 different 8mm films from those years. This release offers you a fresh look at those years, with an amazing variety of material, and much of it being amongst the best 8mm footage around. It’s amazing to see this footage after all these years: small gestures that you hadn’t seen before, suits that you hadn’t seen on film, his fun interaction with the audience, superb vocal performances… It’s almost like rediscovering the man and his unbelievable talent.
Someone who can often be seen in this footage, usually at the end of shows, is Elvis’ bodyguard DAVE HEBLER. In Vegas footage, you can usually see him holding the curtain for Elvis, while on the road he is often at the edge of the stage. We tracked him down, and he kindly agreed to write the liner-notes for this release. The liner-notes that Mr. Hebler wrote are some of the best-ever on an Elvis release. Great care is taken during the restauration process of the high-resolution transfers from the original 8mm films. Our aim is to stay true to what was originally recorded, and present it in the best way possible.
Packaged in a beautiful 3-panel digipack, this is a true collectors dream and a feast for ears and eyes.

'You Know, My Bass Man Is Bound To Die' New Import CD: The Ampex label is proud to present 'You Know, My Bass Man Is Bound To Die'.
A brand-new concert, March 24th, 1975 dinner show. This show has never been released and comes in a great AUDIENCE recorded sound quality. Elvis is very loose and has a ball with his audience and band members. Opening in Las Vegas on March 18th, Elvis presented a rejuvenated show to his audience. Some of his classics like ‘Teddy Bear’ / ‘Don't Be Cruel’, ‘Love Me’, ‘Hound Dog’ and ‘I Got A Woman’ / ‘Amen’ would remain, but his show consisted mostly of recently recorded material, some of it only a week old!
Elvis performed ‘Green Green Grass Of Home’, ‘Fairytale’ and ‘And I Love You So’ from his still to be released album Today. ‘Promised Land’ would be sung on a regular basis whereas it was only performed a couple of times the year before. It would also find itself a different arrangement being closer to the studio master with James Burton’s electric guitar front and center. ‘My Boy’, which was first introduced in the August-September 1973 season before disappearing from the setlist, would make a comeback during this |
 |
season but was now performed much more confidently with Elvis taking risks on the high notes near the end. Be sure to listen to the version included on this CD, as Elvis takes it up a notch more than usual! All in all, Elvis was back on track for the time being, reinvigorated, and giving professional and joyful shows night after night.
The March 24th dinner show is well worth having in your collection, with Elvis joking with his fellow band members - most notably J.D. Sumner - as Elvis jokes, ‘I've been with JD Sumner since I was 16 years old. He's the world's oldest bass singer; no, I’m kidding, he's the world lowest bass singer!’ Also, during ‘Trilogy’, Elvis still can't seem to contain himself as he jokingly sings, ‘You know, my bass man is bound to die!’
‘Burning Love’ and ‘I'll Remember You’ - which were re-introduced during this season after a two-year hiatus - were left off during this show with Elvis opting to do ‘Green Green Grass Of Home’ instead, a song which wasn't sung too often during the season and would soon disappear from his setlist.
We've included the March 19th dinner show pre acts on disc 1, to give you a full overview of the Elvis Presley show as recorded from the soundboard.
Digipack with newly acquired photos, newspaper reviews and a list of songs performed during this season. And watch this space, as we'll also be releasing the unreleased midnight show very soon! |

‘Elvis Sings Suspicious Minds’ New Import: Paradise Road Records presents Elvis live in 1969. 'Elvis sings Suspicious Minds' brings you back to the International Hotel in August 1969. Many shows were officially released (August 3, August 21 to August 26)... Recordings from all other shows are officially unreleased.

'The Complete '56 Radio Recorders Sessions' New "P.D" CD: ELVIS ONE presents 'The Complete '56 Radio Recorders Sessions' on cd. A lot of these sessions are lost... For this release we wanted a different approach.. The first 13 tracks are the original single & album masters with the original fade-outs. The same masters can be heard in the masters & outtakes section but now slightly longer taken from the master tape. When you compare the ending of the original album master of ‘Long Tall Sally’ with the ‘rough ending’ master you will notice the difference.
The ending of take 18 of ‘Playing For Keeps’ and insert take 2 of ‘Too Much’ were used for the spliced masters of these songs. We have chosen to release these recordings separately.
You can hear all known masters and outtakes from Elvis at Radio Recorders in 1956 on this album.
EIN NOTE - All previously released multiple times, check before buying.

'Elvis The Sun Sessions In Stereo' New CD: From Good Music label their new release 'Elvis The Sun Sessions In Stereo'.
Their publicity notes.. Elvis's early Sun recordings are well known to fans, but you've never heard them like this before!
They sound more alive and detailed, and you will discover elements of the original performances you never heard before! It becomes a brand new listening experience.
Bonus LIVE recordings are the clearest they've ever been.
This is a superb fete of first-class engineering that adds a whole new dimension to Elvis Presley's recorded legacy. Relive the historic early days of Elvis at Sun as well as demos and live performances as he introduced rock 'n' roll to the masses.
The raw energy Presley expressed -- his native talent, creative spirit, his synthesis of R&B, Gospel and country -- captured the imagination of America and charted his meteoric rise to being the world's most enduring and iconic artist.
Now you can step inside Sam Phillips' studio in the formative early days and feel like you are there in person as The King was born! 22 great songs you will re-discover in STEREO!
This CD utilizes the new "DES" (Digitally Extracted Stereo) audio technology to transform classic monaural recordings into stereo. |
 |
EIN Note: While the publicity says "Elvis's early Sun recordings, never heard like this before!" That is incorrect as TEN of the original fifteen SUN masters have already been included on Good Times previous "From Mono To Stereo" releases! Naughty, naughty.
Go here to Good Music for more info and tracklist
See EIN's lengthy debate on "Elvis: New Mono To Stereo" and yes, some SUN tracks are fascinating to hear in fake stereo!

"Studio B" The EP Vinyl Collection: The publicity states, This remarkable boxset contains 5 gorgeous "Extended Plays" each containing 4 alternate versions of early 60's Elvis classics. All tracks are recorded at RCA Studio B, Nashville Tennessee.
Most of the tracks are either hard to find or never issued on a 45. For sure these alternate takes never appeared on 45 until now.

A great collection of early 60's masterpieces for the first time on 45's.
Available in blue or red vinyl.
All tracks are also available on the included bonus CD.

The first shows from this August engagement were shot by MGM for the legendary “That’s The Way It Is” and recorded by RCA for the soundtrack. The recordings featured here were recorded right after the MGM & RCA crew had left. Elvis is in a good mood and seems to be very relaxed. This is Elvis at his best.
Raw, rebellious and at the peak of his powers. Enjoy these ......Powerhouse Performances

MRS ‘Elvis - The First Engagements 1969-70’ new 3-CD Set OUT NOW: The MRS new 3CD Deluxe set ‘Las Vegas International Presents Elvis - The First Engagements 1969-70’ is OUT NOW via Amazon and other on-line shops.
This three CD set contains a selection of captivating performances drawn from Elvis’ first two engagements at the Las Vegas International in August 1969 and January thru February 1970.
For the first time ever, these soundboard recordings (formerly in mono) have been remastered, carefully restored, and remixed to true stereo with outstanding expertise using the most sophisticated technologies to achieve the best possible sound.
This technology is not available to the major record label industries and the tracks have NOT been electronically processed and nothing has been added to make these tracks to true stereo.
The accompanying 40-page booklet includes rare photographs and memorabilia taken during these engagements along with introductory notes.

'Kansas City Revisited' New Import CD/DVD: The Millbranch Music label announces, a great 3-Disc Digipack release for every serious “Elvis live in the 70s” – collector! Since just about everything has changed in our way of approaching an Elvis CD project we are absolutely sure that this time there is quality all the way in terms of sound (no audience recordings) and performances!
Introducing our first “Soundboard” release on the “MM” label here are two performances by Elvis and his exciting group of musicians (Afternoon and Evening show from the same day) at his fabulous early Summer 1974 Tour. Kansas City was the place to go on June 29, 1974, because Elvis was willing to deliver two extremely entertaining shows of high standard – and he did!
The evening show of this day has been released a couple of times already, but never before in such great sound quality. The afternoon show is UNRELEASED in any form. Until now……..
|
 |
We believe that the pairing of these two Kansas City shows alone already make a very nice package – but we would not talk about a “great” release if it was just “nice to have”, so we decided to make it kind of “perfect” and added a third disc and that is a DVD!
You will have the best possible visual accompaniment for the two shows of June 29, 74 – perfectly synched with the same incredible sound that you can hear on our cd´s! We also have been able to obtain the best possible HD picture quality for our project and so you will be able to not only hear, but also to see the “real deal”.
But that is not even all, since there is even more to “discover” on our DVD, which is included in the package!
Don´t waste any minute and make sure to order it while you can from your local dealer!
EIN Note: We and other collectors are stunned by this announcement. This would be a brand new unreleased 1974 soundboard (totally unknown) plus the fine Evening show combined with quality 8 mm films and bonus material.
It almost sounds too good to be true. EIN awaits some samples to check.
The Evening Show was released by Fort Baxter back in 1995 on 'A Profile. The King On Stage Vol.1'
Let's see if Millbranch Music can deliver the goods. - Selling for around US$40

‘SOLD OUT’ Vol.5 DVD: The publicity states.. In recent months, the ’Sold Out!’ DVD series has been on everybody’s lips. Given the uniqueness of the 8mm footage, and the controversy over its release, that’s no surprise.
No doubt these limited-edition collectors’ releases will be selling for crazy prices on Ebay a few years from now, so collect these while you still can!
Volume 5 is a salute to the original filmers, thanks to whom we can now enjoy these fantastic clips of Elvis on stage.
In the liner notes, one of these original filmers describes the excitement of seeing the man in concert, and the challenges of filming him and not getting caught. Several of these filmers later experienced getting scammed by certain collectors for their material, an unfortunate situation that Pyramid is now trying to correct by reaching out to the original filmers and paying them for the use of their footage.
Volume 5 is a real humdinger of a release, this time presented in beautiful deluxe digipack with extensive notes and rare original photos.
And the contents are just spectacular, and even include a full unreleased concert performance.
If you enjoyed vols. 3 and 4, then you will LOVE volume 5!
As always, everything is presented precisely as it was originally recorded, and carefully restored without altering anything.
This is the real deal. Get it today!!

'Summer Festival 1970: The Rehearsals' In-Depth Review: MRS's new triple-CD set 'Summer Festival 1970: The Rehearsals' was released last month.
The CDs contain rehearsal highlights from one of the most memorable periods in Elvis’ career - his captivating performances at The International Hotel Las Vegas in the summer of 1970. With remastered audio and accompanying 40-page booklet the package is aimed at the general public, plus Elvis collectors who could not afford last year's FTD fan club deluxe release.
Elvis’ glorious rehearsals on 24 July at RCA studios are the real key to this release. Twenty seven classic performances and with Elvis not only rehearsing the familiar songs we would all come to know from the MGM movie but also songs he would never perform on stage.
EIN's Nigel Patterson and Piers Beagley check out this new collection and discover some neat surprises along the way.

‘SOLD OUT!’ Vol 4 Out Now: Volume 4 of ’Sold Out!’ DVD series is out now, and it’s our favorite one so far! More and more people are discovering this phenomenal DVD series, including even Elvis’ own associates and musicians. It’s quite a scoop that DUKE BARDWELL has written exclusive liner-notes for this new release. Duke, as most of you will know, played bass for Elvis at 181 shows in 1974 & ’75. His wonderfully evocative text truly captures the magic and excitement of Elvis live on stage in the seventies.
Duke can be seen in various clips on this release, and usually with a big smile on his face. And now after almost 50 years, that smile is there once again while watching this unique footage. Sure, 8mm is not perfect, but it was the technology of the time, and though it has its limitations, it now gives us the chance to experience many great moments of Elvis in concert that would otherwise have been lost forever.
This fourth volume focuses on the final years, and it features some of the coolest and most enjoyable 8mm footage out there. Three hours of rare and unreleased clips, all restored by some of the best people in the business. ‘Don’t procrastinate, don’t articulate…’ – and get this gem of a release now. Presented as a two-disc set in a quality digipack, this is a must-have release that takes you back to that wonderful time when all was well with the world, and The King was rocking arenas from coast to coast. Volumes 1, 2 & 3 are sold out, so don’t miss out on this one!

Note- these are audience recordings |
Two New FTD Releases: For May 2021 release FTD have announced a 1973 Las Vegas double-concert pack plus a new Pål Granlund / David English looking at Elvis' first movie Love Me Tender.
1) 'ELVIS: Las Vegas ‘73' - double 5” digi-pak.
As part of its ongoing live on tour series, FTD announces the release of ELVIS: LAS VEGAS ‘73.
Released as a 2-CD 5” digi-pak, this set features Elvis from two shows at the Las Vegas Hilton; August 20 (midnight) and September 2nd (3AM).
EIN Notes: The August 20, 1973 (Midnight Show) is an old favourite that was released as a Fort Baxter bootleg back in 1995 on 'A Profile The King On Stage Vol 1'. It was a "stereo sound booth audience recording" in pretty good quality. As FTD do not state that these are both soundboards it is a good possibility that CD1 is the same booth recording but upgraded.
The September 2, 1973 (3AM show) is previously unreleased.
Elvis was not happy at this Las Vegas season. He walked on stage at the final concert with a monkey on his back and was in a bad mood with both Col Parker and the Hilton. |
|
The cover photo (see 'Elvis - Caught in a Trap' by Arjan Deelen & Laurens Van Houten) features Elvis with the monkey peeping over his shoulder.
The incredulous Closing Show was released by FTD back in 2004. While not a "great" concert it is totally fascinating for Elvis' powerful, no holds bared, comments and performances. See EIN review here. |
2) 'Love Me Tender – Through The Lens Of Robert Vose' Book / CD Combo. FTD Books is pleased to present “Love Me Tender – Through The Lens of Robert Vose”.
Pål Granlund and David English visited the 20th Century-Fox Studios archive several years ago which proved to be an amazing experience. These stunning photographs captured by Robert Vose – the majority of them unseen and unpublished since September 1956 – reveal life on the movie set with Director Robert D. Webb, his cast and crew.
Accompanying the book are two CDs.
Disc 1: The original EP, Outtakes, Stereo Masters and The Truth About Me interview.
Disc 2: The 13 recordings made at Radio Recorders between September 1-3, 1956. (EIN Notes: These were for Elvis' second LP 'Elvis' already released as an FTD Classic Album)

'Flaming Star & Summer Kisses' New Import: The publicity notes.. Originally released in the UK only, september 1965 and never released on cd until now.
All tracks on this album are presented in Mono as on the original album. For this cd release we’ve included 2 bonus tracks: A special recorded message by Elvis to his UK fans for the ‘New Musical Express Poll Concert’, Wembley’s Empire Pool, England, April 26, 1964. Previously unreleased in this quality on cd - and an interview with Peter Noone from August 18, 1965. With these bonus tracks this is THE ELVIS UK ALBUM and deserves a release on CD. (EIN is not sure why as it contains nothing new)
A nice collection that reached #11 on the UK album charts on October 9, 1965.
Don't miss this limited edition!

'The Classic Bootleg Collection Volume 3': The publicity states... A sublime 6 CD box set with 6 classic Elvis Presley bootleg albums. Again, there is chosen for some 60's and 70's instead of focusing on one time period. This way all will be served!
Just like on The Classic Bootleg Collection Volume 1 & 2 there are some true gems (or rough cut diamonds) to be found on this set! For example the Rough Cut Diamonds Lp contained some unique mixes very different to the later released versions. And the “Kickin’ Back!” LP contained a spliced version of the Promised Land rehearsal, which resulted in an “alternate” ending. The 1974 rehearsal recordings made their debut on this 1988 LP and the complete rehearsal would not be heard until 7 years later. Of course the LP also featured the infamous monologue recorded in September 1974 where Elvis speaks out against the press and the maternity lawsuit against him. The show where this speech was taken from would not be heard for almost 9 years later. |

The Special delivery LP has always been a controversial album, containing the 2 duet versions of “Love Me Tender” with Linda Ronstadt. Plus another song “In My Dreams” which actually is not sung by Elvis at all. On the other side (literally) it also contained the marvelous unrepaired take 4 of “Rags To Riches”. The album also contained songs like “When The Snow Is On The Roses” and “Portrait Of My Love” not often heard in 1979! The “To Know Him Is To Love Him Album” is probably the sloppiest edited album of all time, but it did contain some welcome tracks never heard before by most fans (and still partly unissued elsewhere till today). The Amiga LP “That’s The Way It Is” & the “Play It Hot Album” do not need any introduction as these are probably some of the first bootleg LP’s in most Elvis collections. All of these albums are true classics and listening to these will bring up some beautiful memories.
6 Classic Elvis Bootleg Albums
- That’s The Way It Is / - To Know Him Is To Love Him /- Special Delivery /- Kickin’ Back! /- Rough Cut Diamonds Volume 2 /- Play It Hot
EIN Notes that while these early bootlegs 'Rough Cut Diamonds' 1984 and 'That’s The Way It Is' 1980 (taken from the movie soundtrack) were impressive at the time everything has basically been officially released by now and in better quality (ie 1970 Undubbed Masters) so why on earth would collectors need these old bootlegs in 2021?

MRS ‘Elvis - The First Engagements 1969-70’ new 3-CD Set: The MRS label will release a 3CD Deluxe set titled ‘Las Vegas International Presents Elvis - The First Engagements 1969-70’ on 7th May 2021.
This three CD set contains a selection of captivating performances drawn from Elvis’ first two engagements at the Las Vegas International in August 1969 and January thru February 1970.
For the first time ever, these soundboard recordings (formerly in mono) have been remastered, carefully restored, and remixed to true stereo with outstanding expertise using the most sophisticated technologies to achieve the best possible sound.
This technology is not available to the major record label industries and the tracks have NOT been electronically processed and nothing has been added to make these tracks to true stereo.
The accompanying 40-page booklet includes rare photographs and memorabilia taken during these engagements along with introductory notes.
A sample sound showing "true stereo" from the 3 shows can be downloaded CLICK HERE
EIN Note: All these 3 soundboards have been previously released by FTD but in mono. They were not RCA multitrack recordings. |

A series of 180g LP versions (including the former MRS release of ‘SUMMER FESTIVAL 70 - THE REHEARSALS) will all be released a month later in June.

'Elvis The Dream Project' New Vinyl: From the Victrola label their publicity notes.. A fresh new project in the completely upgraded sound! All songs have been restored, remixed into stereo and we bet you will love the result!
Ann Nixon, who is a very famous Elvis fan, said it all: "Seeing and hearing Elvis live is a happening in itself. No gramophone record can reflect the sound of Elvis' voice as he sounded in the real life. The dynamic range and the power that came with his voice were never captured like people really experienced it live."
(Note; 'Anne Nixon' was the spelling of her name - see EIN interview here)
Being with Elvis in Las Vegas is like having a private concert. Nowadays there are countless recordings of Elvis' shows, and with this project we want to try to show you how it was to experience the real Elvis live in Las Vegas as had you been there in person.
We are aware of the soundboard recordings of Elvis, but quite often they are instrumentally incomplete, or the strong bass or heavy orchestra are overbearing the other instruments in the sound mix. Our dream was to restore this unique collection of live songs that Elvis performed during his Vegas years to their fullest glory. In this project we used the 1970 "On Stage" album as a |
 |
template and we dreamt of what an original Elvis album would have looked like in the mid 70s. It was clearly noticeable throughout this project is how well Elvis really did sing on stage, and how immaculate the arrangements of the songs were.
That combination and Elvis' unbelievable charisma made everything sound right. Sometimes Elvis did two shows in one night in front of 2500 people during the span of one month. This would be almost the same as performing at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City during four consecutive weeks.
Our release is planned for May 2021. All selections sound fresh and lively like never before! Ask your local audio vendor for teasers! |

"Elvis In Concert 77, My name is Wayne Newton" BluRay: The publicity notes.. The independent label Planitis-Entertainment announces the release of the blu-ray "Elvis In Concert 77, My name is Wayne Newton". The creators of this blu-ray have collected all the images, interviews with Vernon (in 1977), all the live songs from June 19 and 21 from Omaha, NB, and Rapid City, SD, all the intros as well as the entirety of the presentation of the group of musicians by Elvis in one show, in one unique show.
A lot of remastering work from various non-copyrighted original (CBS) tapes was done frame by frame with DX Technique™ and for the first time the sound was reworked in Dolby Digital True HD. All regions, 26 live songs, play time 140 minutes.
|
 |
| EIN note.. The 'In Concert' footage was recorded in 1977 on old U-matic videotape. The format is well below BluRay quality and would not even be DVD quality. The cover design hardly indicates a quality product. Buyer Beware, please check video quality before purchase. |

'Sold Out 2' New DVD: Volume 2 of the "Rex Martin" film collection is out now.
The publicity notes... Pyramid strikes again! Remarkable 8mm footage, restored with care, truly bringing into focus again what a sensational and charismatic performer Elvis really was, even in his final years. It was a surprise to many to see such spectacular footage from concerts that were presumed lost to time.
Now Volume 2 is out, with even more surprises. Almost three hours of Elvis in his prime in Las Vegas from 1970 to 1973, all presented as it was originally recorded.
The Rex Martin footage and more. Carefully restored using the latest technology, but without compromising the integrity of the original footage. We also used a few silent clips this time.
Join us for a unique journey back in time, celebrating Elvis’ artistic rebirth in Las Vegas. People filming at concerts was still in its infancy, and of course there was always the risk of getting caught, and much of the film presented here reflect those realities. But this footage also captures a special moment in time when Elvis was on top of his game, and singing with real fire in his belly. He was clearly excited about performing live again, and his live shows were dynamic.
Decent footage from the early engagements is rarer than a hen’s teeth, so this is a real treat. A lot of effort was made to present this footage in the best way possible. Another quality release for fans.
And the good news is, Volume 3 is almost ready, with some truly spectacular close-up footage from the concert years.
You’re in for a surprise, so stay tuned!

‘Don't Cry Daddy’ New Import CD: Elvis live at the International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. This cd contains 29 tracks - great audience recordings from February 1970, including the February 21, midnight show. Other recordings are 'See See Rider' from the Feb 5, dinner show, 'Suspicious Minds' with reprise from the Feb 20, midnight show, the one-liner 'When The Swallows Come Back To Capistrano' from the February 21, dinner show, + more great recordings!
The February 21, midnight show was first released on the album 'Let It Be Me' released in 2006, but now you can hear this show in a better sound. The show is really good with a very good setlist with a dynamic version of 'Long Tall Sally' and great renditions of 'Don't Cry Daddy', 'Walk A Mile In My Shoes' and other songs. Feel like you were in the audience to see the greatest singer of all time... Elvis on stage during his early Las Vegas shows was full of energy and at his best vocally and physically. As Robert Hilburn noted in his LA Times review of Presley’s 1970 winter season in Las Vegas, “Elvis … has done what once seemed impossible. He has become king on his own terms.”
Limited edition release with an 8 pages booklet with photos and more information about these recordings.

'Return To The Queen City of The South' New Import: In 2010 Audionics label released fantastic double CD called "Springtime Tours '76 - '77." We have presented a bulk of the Johnson City, TN, March 17th, 1976 tour opening show in the straight stereo mix and Charlotte, March 20th, 1976 evening show in the pure binaural sound as well as the selection of various 1977 stereo live recordings. Now, we believe, the right time has come for the ultimate upgrade of March 1976 material combined with two Charlotte shows from 1977!
It is not widely known that in 1977, Felton Jarvis planned a release of the great version of "America The Beautiful" and some other tracks from Charlotte 1976 show on a country flavored studio / live compilation album "Welcome To My World." Unfortunately, it did not materialize. Nevertheless, we have obtained his original old stereo mix and restored it for our release!
For the February 20th, 1977 a different source than FTD has been used. February 21st, 1977 was newly mastered from same tape source as the1995 Fort Baxter CD release "Moody Blue and Other Great Performances."
|
 |
As a bonus, you will find a selection of pre-show tracks performed by J. D. Sumner and The Stamps and The Sweet Inspirations in 1976 / 77. Yet another addition presented reveals a part of the Johnson City, March 17, 1977 show in previously unreleased authentic pure binaural sound (as it was recorded) with James Burton's lead guitar isolated in right channel. Back then we mixed this show into the stereo image. We have added a set of various tracks taped in February - June 1977, as well. All bonus tracks have been freshly restored and mastered from the scratch and there are unique mixes of songs like "Steamroller Blues" from Austin, March 28 or "Unchained Melody" from Rapid City, June 21, 1977. You need to indulge the tones to judge for yourself!
This CD is presented in 3CD digipack with a great collection of high quality concert recordings from Elvis' performances in Charlotte, NC, March 20th, 1976 & February 20th & 21st, 1977 8:30pm evening shows.
EIN Note: As mentioned FTD released Charlotte Feb 20th and other highlights on their CD 'Unchained Melody' - As we noted at the time, "In 1977 Elvis was running on low, his concerts were often perfunctory at best, early 1977 saw Elvis going downhill fast and putting on the weight that he had recently lost." |

King Creole 'True Stereo' VINYL released: The CMT import-label release of the LP 'King Creole' featuring the soundtrack album in stereo with additional bonus tracks.
This re-issue comes on yellow colored vinyl and is out now.
Side 1: King Creole / Crawfish / As Long As I Have You / Headed Woman / Trouble / Dixieland Rock / Don’t Ask Me Why / Lover Doll / Young Dreams / Steadfast, Loyal And True / New Orleans.
Side 2: Berries, Gumbo - Crawfish (Film Version) / Lover Doll (undubbed) / Dixieland Rock (Film Version) / As Long As I Have You (Take 4) / Steadfast, Loyal And True (Slow Version) / Turtles, Berries, Gumbo (Master) / Muskat Ramble / Main Title / Radio Spot.
EIN Note: "True Stereo" it is not, since it is created using the digital audio process, Digitally Extracted Stereo.
Unfortunately this works better with simpler arrangements and not with orchestral backings.
As EIN noted last year about in our review of Elvis Reborn Mono > Stereo "EIN really wanted the final track, the sensational ‘Trouble’ to reveal something new to me but sadly while Elvis is dead-centre the backing sounds all-over-the-place and not like a stereo recording."
You can read a neat review of the CMT King Creole album here by our friends at Elvis DayByDay

‘Elvis - Oh, Happy Day’ New Import CD: Paradise Road Records presents ‘Oh, Happy Day’ - Elvis live at the International hotel in Las Vegas. This cd contains a great audience recording from the August 14, 1970 Midnight Show PLUS camera sound recordings from this show (from the MGM tapes).
Elvis is singing great songs like 'Oh, Happy Day', 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', 'Folsom Prison Blues' and 'I Walk The Line' .. A very remarkable show. Elvis was in a really goofy mood and introduced himself as Johnny Cash. He seemed to be really enjoying this show, despite the cameras and the house lights being up so MGM could film him. He changed the words to the several songs and really had fun messing them up.
This show was first released on 'The Man In White - Volume 3' released in 2003. Now -18 year later- all performances have been newly remastered and speed corrected where necessary. And for the first time on cd the camera sound recordings of this show. Including a booklet with information and photos from this great show! PLUS some background information about these recordings.

‘Houston Astrodome Sunday March 03, 1974’ VINYL: A Special Deluxe Combo LP / CD from the "VV" label for the first time in vinyl, of the show of Houston 3th of March 1974 and including the unreleased AUDIENCE recording Tulsa OK, Oral Roberts University March 2, 1974, included as a bonus.
As always the VV attitude is to present Elvis at the peak of his possibility and without a doubt, this double set presents Elvis still at his best. After shedding some extra weight the man is ready to face his first tour of 1974. March 1974 started with two great shows in Tulsa and then departed to Houston for two shows in the Astrodome where Elvis beat his own audience record from 1970. The Houston show it’s a usual one where Elvis faces a large distant adoring crowd without the orchestra.
Here is presented completely remastered for the first time in heavy glorious vinyl.
At the same time, we are glad to include as a bonus CD an unreleased Ambiance Recording of the previous day in Tulsa. The sound is decent: if you want to live the atmosphere of an Elvis concert in 2021 this is the right tape. We can guarantee that Elvis was greeted with incredible enthusiasm; the popularity in the live scene in the middle of 1974 is at its maximum level.
The tour presents Elvis still at the top of his possibility, despite He is not anymore the rocker of 1970. He still looks great in his impressive jumpsuits and he delivers great shows with a great version of his classic hits adding to the repertoire the religious new Help me and reaching the top of the classic anthem American Trilogy and the sacred How Great Thou Art.

'Bruce Jackson, On The Road With Elvis' OUT NOW: Gary Jackson’s 2018 book on his brother’s adventures on the road as Elvis’ sound engineer between 1971 and 1977, complete with three new cds.
CD 1: An audio documentary on Elvis in 1976 hosted by Jack Mullins.
CD 2: Previously unreleased soundboard of Elvis’ concert in Sioux Falls, October 18th 1976.
CD 3: Previously unreleased soundboard of Elvis’ concert in Atlanta, December 30th 1976.
OUT NOW - It is a strictly limited release so if you want it you need to chase Elvis dealers now.
EIN Notes: Wow, EIN thought the FTD deluxe 'TTWII' 600-page book with 8 |
 |
1970 rehearsal cds was expensive at £180 but this set at £111 (US$240) for a 200-page book (not totally on Elvis) plus two 1976 soundboard concerts (with audio doco) seems ludicrous. Atlanta December 1976 features a very poor piano-heavy audio mix. Hopefully FTD see reason and release the soundboards as a CD- double-pack after this limited edition sells-out - See FTD NEWS for tracklist and more details

'Elvis Rocks The Garden' New Import: From the Straight Arrow label.. in 2012 we released the great June 9th Madison Square Garden NYC concert (CD "Left a Good Job in The City". This, now classic, is totally sold out for many years. Now we have restored this recording again from scratch. In 2020 we obtained two quality tapes of other NYC concerts from June 10th Evening and June 11th, Afternoon.
Now all three shows are released in one deluxe 3CD set.
We are fully aware that the June 10th Evening show was released several times officially by RCA from the professional multi-track tapes. Nevertheless, we have found an alternative source - an excellent audience-recorded tape! It brings you a whole new listening experience! The incredible audience reaction to every song will blow you away! The June 11th Afternoon show was released in 2010 from an inferior source. Once again, we have found an excellent audience-provided alternative.
Both the June 10th E/S and 11th A/S were recorded by the same person, using a reel-to-reel tape deck instead of usual the cassette recorder.
Presented in the usual top notch digipack

Peloton Exclusive Elvis remixes: Peloton (Bicycles / Workout company) is the only place anyone can hear a trio of classic Elvis Presley songs remixed by DJ Dillon Francis, Big Boi and Chromeo, at least for now. T
The songs, Do The Vega, Catchin’ On Fast, and Clean Up Your Own Backyard, will play out as part of Peloton’s Artist Series of themed workouts.
The remixes are owned by Sony and will be an exclusive on Peloton for an initial launch window.
Elvis fans who don’t have a Peloton subscription needn’t worry as the company is offering a two-month free trial of the Peloton app, which offers classes for strength, stretching, meditation, yoga and everything else.
|
 |
Peloton has, for a while now, had the Artist Series workouts in which an entire class is backed up with music from a single artist. The most notable name on the list is Beyoncé but you can also enjoy a ride backed by Alicia Keys, Britney Spears and Lizzo.
Peloton teased an Elvis-themed artist series on December 13th, encouraging people to “move to the sounds” of the King. After the initial launch it is possible that Sony might release all three remixes commercially thereafter.

‘From Elvis in Nashville’ Box-set EIN In-Depth Review: A 4CD collection presenting the definitive chronicle of Elvis' 1970 marathon sessions with the "Nashville Cats".
Recorded live in RCA's Studio B over the course of an epic five day run in June 1970 now, for the first time, the sessions are presented in pristine audio, newly mixed by acclaimed engineer Matt Ross-Spang without the added overdubs appearing on earlier releases.
Elvis’ 1970 Nashville session was very different from the previous Memphis sessions or even Elvis’ later sessions. Nashville was a real mix of Elvis recording RCA supplied demos along with one-take spontaneous favourites Elvis threw into the mix.
As Elvis noted, "It don't take much to get these guys going, boy, I'll tell you…. Just give them a "well..." and they're gone. That's what I call 'Sittin' on ready".
EIN's Piers Beagley explores this new box-set to discover one of the best Elvis releases in years..

'Elvis As Recorded Live In Huntsville '75' New Import: A new cd release from the REVISITED label with Elvis live at Von Braun Civic Center. Saturday May 31, 1975 (8:30 PM). Huntsville, AL.
A great soundboard recording released only once before on a single disc many years ago on "Across The Country Vol 2". A show with great songs like "Hawaiian Wedding Song" and "I'm Leavin'".
The beginning of the evening show was not recorded but as a bonus we've included recordings from the matinee show one day later (Sunday. June 1, 1975. Huntsville, AL.), including "How Great Thou Art" and a medley of early hits.
Elvis was truly inspired by the superb reaction he received in Huntsville, selling out five shows. These are recordings from show number 3 and 4 in very good sound quality.
Note that FTD released the afternoon show of the same day May 31, 1975 on 'Dixieland Delight'
This is a limited edition SOUNDBOARD release to celebrate the 45th Anniversary of this great event! Including a booklet with photos and information about these shows.

'From Elvis In Nashville' OUT NOW: Great news as Elvis' 2020 major release 'From Elvis In Nashville' is out now, even delivered by the Australian postman at 9am this morning. (Despite rumours the release would be delayed in Australia).
And it is an absolute gem, capturing Elvis creating some truly magnificent Nashville magic. While these Marathon Sessions have often been compared unfavourably with the life-changing 1969 Memphis Sessions Elvis and his core musicians work truly hard as the camarderie between them inspire some of Elvis' best work of the 70s.
|
 |
The shame is that the core soul of the original recordings of Elvis and the Nashville Cats would often be hidden by the later orchestral overdubs or clean ups.
As the publicity says, "these sessions are presented in pristine audio, newly mixed by acclaimed engineer Matt Ross-Spang without the added overdubs of earlier releases - in other words how Elvis would sound if you were in the room with him" and it is right.
There are delights to discover in the previously unreleased Undubbed Masters such as I've Lost You, The Sound Of Your Cry, The Fool, It's Your Baby You Rock It, Stranger In The Crowd, Mary In The Morning, Just Pretend, even Bridge Over Troubled Water never before officially released as Undubbed but with harmony vocal.
While others such as I Really Don't Want To Know,The Next Step Is Love, Funny How Time Slips Away, I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water, even Only Believe have a new "fuller" more soulful feel courtesy of the Matt Ross-Spang new audio mixes.
The 28 booklet is packed full of information plus two detailed articles, four pages by Ernst Jorgensen on the session themselves plus an interesting 7-page essay by Nashville author David Cantwell explaining how the musicians all came together to create such important music. |
 |
 |
 |
Ernst writes, "What Elvis called "sitting ready" essentially meant that he expected the musicians share his inspired moments and instantly fall in with whatever he began singing.... Spontaneity was key, and to Elvis, it was always about the feel, and not about perfection."
A core thread is that it was the RCA Range & Hill supplied material that let the overall quality drop and plenty of those tracks never even get mentioned in Ernst's session essay.
Like the STAX 2013 deluxe SONY release and 'Way Down In The Jungle Room' once again it is Elvis' pure recordings that prove he was still a force to be reckoned with after the musical renaissance of the 1969 Chips Moman Sessions.
This is a MUST BUY for any Elvis Fan.

'Night of the Dragon' New Import CD: Straight Arrow is pleased to bring you a new double CD dedicated to Elvis' Summer Las Vegas '74 season, the Wednesday, August 28th 1974 Dinner & Midnight shows. The 1974 summer season was always rated as controversial due to Elvis in-between-songs comments in several shows. Nevertheless, musically, all shows were very good. Straight Arrow has released only 2 shows so far: "Karate Fever" CD (August 31st, 1974 D/S in 2010) and "Stormy Weather Ahead" 2CD (September 2nd, 1974 D/S in 2017).
These August 28th recordings are directly from recently discovered first generation copies of the original audience-recorded mastertapes, never before in circulation! These fascinating, previously unreleased concerts were never before available in such an excellent sound quality!
Both play lists included several songs unique to this season: "It's Midnight", "Big Boss Man" and funky "If You Talk in Your Sleep," the latter with a karate demo midway. His song selection demonstrated his expertise in a great variety of musical genres: the sexy styling of "Fever," the poignancy of "I'm Leavin'," and the feel-good of two Olivia |
 |
Newton John songs "If You Love Me (Let Me Know)" and "Let Me Be There." Most of all, perhaps, Elvis touched first base musically with the stirring performances of "How Great Thou Art." Worth to mention is the rare inclusion of "My Boy" which was presented only once in 1974 (by request).
As usual, this release is presented in a deluxe 4-panel double digipack with a collection of images taken on stage during Elvis' Summer Las Vegas '74 season.
The Straight Arrow team is always looking for new, unreleased audience-taped shows and for the improved versions of previously released recordings. If you have such tapes, even damaged or broken, do not hesitate to contact us through your local vendor. |

| 'Ol’ Swivel Hips Still Wovs’ Em' New Import Box-set: This 1977 deluxe box set 'Ol’ Swivel Hips Still Wovs’ Em' (EIN comments what the hell does "wovs them" mean, presumably "Wows them" is what they meant) is focused on the third tour of 1977 April-May 1977. Elvis’ live performances in 1977 are often criticized and not without a reason. But Elvis was still offering his fans an enjoying time, the magic of seeing Elvis in person probably exceeded the fact he often delivered a standard and sometimes even mediocre performance. The reactions of the spectators are very telling. They scream, shout and get wild for their hero. While listening to the recordings of these shows you cannot draw any other conclusion than that the shows were below par. But the charisma of Elvis was enormous, which probably made this unnoticed by most of the fans present. This set mostly contains soundboard & multitrack recordings but also contains two rare audience recordings. These high quality audience recordings of the April 27 & 30 performances deserve a place in this box set. |
 |
Both being first class audience recordings and remastered from scratch to achieve an optimal listening experience.
This 6 cd set includes a wonderful booklet with many rare and unpublished photo’s.
EIN Notes: Nothing here not released previously - and two cds are 1977 Audience Recordings.
From previous bootlegs 'Shaking Up the Great Lakes' to 'Trouble In Saginaw' surely we all have this before.
Reviews of Toledo April 23 included..."Several couples sitting near me left early, evidently disappointed that their memories had held up better than Elvis himself.
But even 42 isn't too old to remember lyrics (he fluffed some on It's Now Or Never).
True, one can't fault the scarcity of his leg shimmies, only their lack of sincerity.
The only standing ovation he got was when he quit singing."
Really, is this what collectors are begging for?

'GET BACK: The Fantasy Series Volume 2' DVD: From the STAR label, Imagine you could "Get Back in time" .....
The follow up to the 1976 DVD 'And I Love You So'.
This time they chose footage from 71/72. Elvis is in great shape, not only his amazing voice but the moves and spirit he brings on stage,unfortunately was probably the last time fans got to witness this.
Lots and lots of rare footage has been combined to make an incredible one hour show with 23(!!) complete performances.
More close ups and better quality then the first volume.
Just listen to an outstanding version of "What Now My Love" which is probably better than the later released "Aloha" version since it has more "feel" to it.
Just enjoy how great he looks during the title track "Little Sister/Get Back" .... does it get any better than this folks?
Just watch his moves during "Suspicious Minds"
Just catch his "Hound Dog's" he is throwing in the crowd.
Just be amazed when he takes of his jacket for an outstanding "Lovin' Feelin'"
The energy he puts in every song, makes this one of the best releases of the last years.
Also included are some rare "72 rehearsals from the "On Tour" files.

'To Good To be True' New Import CD: New from STAR 'To Good To be True' - Live Chronicles volume 3' - 2 disc set
After his '69 comeback on stage Elvis wanted more. In 1970 there were two more seasons in Vegas, both were partly recorded for a live release.
(On Stage and That's The Way It Is)
Lots and lots of songs were tried out, some stayed in the show, some were only song once.
The title of this new CMT album lives up to their name, since it has an amazing collection of live songs, presented on 2 discs, one for the February Season, and one for the August Season.
Like the previous releases in this series, the edits make it sound like it is one great live show... which would be... "Too Good To Be True"
Good To Be True"
EIN Note: Features a fabulous set-list - with plenty from the August 12 Midnight Show - but nothing too unexpected.

'Roustabout At The Fair' New Spliced CD: Another nice "spliced" album with lots of surprises, this time the producers choose to use both Roustabout and It Happened At The World's Fair.
Combined you get a new fresh album which sounds like it's brand new mainly due to the clever edits which also brings extended and very different sounding versions of master tracks.
Just listen to the incredible version of "Roustabout" with a running time of 5.01 minutes, including 8 different takes to make a very nice new track.
"It's A Wonderful World" has a longer intro and sounds very different due to the different mix, and also "Big Love Big Heartache' sounds very different although there was only one take to work with.
Fans of the series will know what to expect and will again not be disappointed by this nice release.
The artwork also "combines" the two movies in a clever way.

Two books, 600 pages, plus all the MGM recorded rehearsals - including 70 tracks officially unreleased.
FTD's most expensive set but with the vast majority of the rehearsals already out on bootleg, can it really be worth the US$270 plus postage. Initially Sold Out and already into its first reprint what makes it so desirable?
EIN's Piers Beagley investigates and discovers plenty .. Go here to our 6000 word review including plenty of extracts and stunning images.

'Funny How Time Slips Away', Official Lyric Video: Another promo video for the new 'From Elvis In Nashville' album, the sublime "Funny How Time Slips Away".
This time helping to emphasise Elvis' lyrical interpretation,
Recorded in one single take, Elvis puts his soul into this perfect bluesy rendition of the Willie Nelson classic. Matt Ross-Spang's new remaster adds even more emotion with Charlie McCoy's organ neatly counterpointing James Burton's fine guitar playing.
If this is representative of Matt Ross-Spang's new remastering then this set is going to be a true stunner.
GO to YouTube to hear the gorgeous 'FUNNY HOW TIME SLIPS AWAY' -

'Good Times In Vegas' New Import: From the Touchdown label, their new release 'Good Times In Vegas' which contains the previously AUDIENCE Recording of Elvis' midnight show August 9, 1972 but supposedly with improved audio .
The new release of the Las Vegas concert does sound excellent for this kind of recording.
Elvis delighted his audience with a strong setlist and lots of highlights.
As usual the release is accompanied with a 16 page booklet and lots of rare photos and seldom seen memorabilia.
EIN Note: This show was previously released as 'Elvis Still Has It' on the SR label back in 2015 and while Elvis was on good form, the recording was fairly muffled.

'Christmas & Gospel Greats' New PD release: From the 'Not Now Music' label a double-CD 'Public Domain' 24-track release combining DISC 1 - Elvis' Christmas Album, DISC 2 - His Hand In Mine.
The publicity notes.. So entrenched was the public perception of Elvis as a hell-raiser, that the announcement he was making a record of Christmas songs sent the world into a tailspin. Released in 1957 Elvis’ Christmas Album, showed that Elvis had created a template for all future Christmas recordings: no rock star had ever undertaken such a project and it was Elvis who paved the way…
Over the years, Elvis would always warm-up in recording studios and before live performances, by singing his favourite Gospel songs. But it was not until 1960, with the release of the LP His Hand In Mine, that the wider world understood the full extent of their rock & roll idol’s fondness for inspirational music.
Enjoy this superb 2CD set including "Santa Claus Is Back In Town", "If We Never Meet Again", "Blue Christmas" and many more...
EIN Note: It's a cute front cover of Elvis in his Jailhouse Rock jumper coloured red and in the snow!
