To be released shortly (late May) on the VV label will be their fifth release entitled "A Man At The Top!" featuring  the complete live soundboard recording on August 10^th 1970 Las Vegas opening show . The double vinyl will be accompanied from a DVD with the best  video possible of the show . After the success of the first four releases We decided: to give you more.….. so we decided to not only bring you the best audio , but also the best video quality possible.

The producers are aware of the fact that the opening night show, as one of the best Elvis Presley concerts ever, has been previously released in different imports. But Here we give you the chance to listen to the show in its entirety FOR THE FIRST TIME in a double high valued collector heavy vinyl set. At the same moment FOR THE FIRST TIME  as bonus will be included a DVD OF THE SHOW  giving to this release the status of “UNIQUE”.

“A Man At The Top” wants to give you a unique perspective of the man and his music during this August 1970. This will be the first STEP of a wider project, infact the producers’ intention is to accompanied this first volume with other three volumes, in the way to cover all the soundboarding recordings of August 1970.

The Vegas third season allows Elvis, after the June studio session, to demonstrate his true abilities in a wider range. We see the best of Elvis in songs that will become the fulcrum of the Elvis show until 1972, Here you can hear the complete opening night. The audio has been carefully remastered from the original source and is complete from the beginning to the end. The vinyl will make the rest, providing to the listener an unforgettable experience!!

The opening night is surely a great challenge for  Elvis, the shooting of a movie and the rehearsal of a large quantity of new stuff gives the possibility to the man to delivery if no the best show something really different and unique to the audience. The opening show presents 8 new songs, including both the sides of his next two singles!!! …. the rest is history……

About the Vegas opening night  has been already said a lot a words, so We like spend some words on the DVD here presented…. A lot s of DVD floating in the previous years including footage from the different quality and the missing audio….some time ago the producers acquired a three dvd set with included all the footage shot from the opening night, directly from the same source in a very good quality. All the different camera angles have been edited to create a real professional movie.

All the footage has been digitally restored in matter to achieve the best result of image quality. All the footage includes matching audio from the original concert  in the way to get  a perfect syinc between audio and image with speed correction of the original footage. Although the show is no  complete , the result believe us is very impressive, Elvis as you never seen..THE BEST QUALITY TO DATE!!!!!
