COLLECTED WORKS PART 1 FEBRUARY 1970 PART 1- 3 CD boxset

Elvis’ first live LP “Elvis In Person” which was released as a double LP together with the “Back In Memphis” album 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. Also included were two left over recordings which were actually recorded for the “Elvis In Person” LP but they remained unused. 

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 live midnight performances recorded right 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.

ELVIS 26 - ESSENTIAL SIXTIES SPLICES VOLUME 2

After the first release in this series (25) CMT is proud to present the second volume , again some  incredible  brandnew, 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 suprises, since a lot of the tracks sound very different then 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 officialy unreleased takes.

We could go on and on, since every track on this album is something you have never heard.

1. His Latest Flame - spliced take  1,1,2,2,3,3,12,10,12
