SPLICED TAKES "NASHVILLE REVISITED "

1 CD (STAR/CMT) DIGIPACK

Another "must have" release in this great series, this time even more edits/splices were done to make an exceptional album, where tracks sound so much different then what is out there, no fake overdubs , but some tracks have been overdubed, using snippets from the actual "recording sessions" 

Devil In Disguise for example does not fade out, but has a great new ending, including two guitar solos.

Gold In The Mountains has been overdubbed with a more fuller drumbeat on some parts, and has been extended.

Like A Baby "you do the intro" Elvis said during the session, but here, we have Elvis himself playing it, and on the end, the guitar has been included once more.

Dirty, Dirty Feeling sounds so much different since lots of parts from the session have been included, and it's Elvis who does the ending "Gone..." instead of Ray Walker.

Stranger In The Crowd , no complete outtake of this song excists, here we get an extended "rehearsal" version, which sound wonderful

It Ain't No Big Thing,  again our man does the intro, and a very different version is made.

I'll Never Know here outtakes are combined with the master overdubs.

On the first "Nashville" most tracks were from the sixties. Here we get a good portion of seventies selections, and well as a fifties track... all recorded in Nashville....

HOT SUMMER IN 1973

(SR LABEL, 1 CD, 1973-08-19 DINNER SHOW
AUDIENCE RECORDING

The forthcoming release from the "SR" label is titled "Hot Summer in 1973 " and will feature the unreleased show from Las Vegas August 19, 1973 DS.

This recording is taken directly from a first generation copy of the original tape. The afternoon show is previously unreleased show.

August 1973, Elvis is back for his last summer season..The year 1973 was begun in the better way, with the Aloha special at least commercial talking…But the things turned immediately toward the wrong direction..the man had too much weight to bear in his human shoulders... But as always for Elvis the music keeps his mind alive and overall active, so the best moments for Elvis is the stage..The show in August 1973 is no exception..

The show of August 19 1973 present Elvis in a positive mood, the show is solid and well performed...Elvis delivers some killer versions of My Boy and You Gave Me a Mountain, keeping steady part of the show the two classic Suspicious Minds and An American Trilogy and delighting the audience with the with the two early rocker Mystery Train/Tiger Man & Trouble.

Talking about the show, the show is solid and well performed no too long in according with the classic Las Vegas shows, we have 46 minutes only, but Elvis worked hard performing 19 songs, with a classic representation of his best repertoire of Vegas.. Talking of highlight of the show, we can say is hard however is undeniable that Elvis’ soul lives now in the power ballad like You Gave a Mountain or My Boy, surely they are the best moment of the show…...

This recording come from an early generation copy of the master tape, the sound quality is very good. The sound was restored in matter to remove the background noise and preserving Elvis’ voice and trying to achieve best possible results. We have spent hours in the studio over the digital restoration of the sound, to give you the chance to hear it with pleasure.

This new CD will come with the classic deluxe Digipack four panels (12x12 cm), containing a collection of live photographs from the actual Season . All the copies will come hand numbered and individually sealed and please remember, this release is a 400 hand numbered edition.

The SR label has never released a descent CD in my opinion. Every release is the same: poorly recorded shows from the audience with horrible sound. Leave this one alone. 
If you MUST buy an audience recorded show, keep looking for the Straight Arrow releases.
