A new import double CD set has been announced. The set, containing two - previously released - remastered concerts from August 1975, comes as a deluxe gate fold set with a 20 pages booklet.
Synopsis:
"After a highly successful tour in July, Elvis was booked for 2 weeks in Vegas, starting on the night of august 18. That opening night was followed by only two more nights and four performances. known among fans as the "Request Box Shows".
On the night of August 20 Elvis left the Vegas Hilton in a hurry, and was flown back to Memphis. Luckily a fan from Japan recorded several of these shows on portable Sony equipment, resulting in excellent sounding tapes. They were released, in part, on both Bilko and Live Archives releases. In May the Southern Comfort label will release two complete shows plus additional songs on a deluxe gate fold double CD set remastered from the original 32 year old tapes. A 20 pages photo booklet will be included with the two CDs.

I think vegas was the one of the worst places for him to have been at that time in his life,i prefer the shows were he sang on the road in those big coliseum's,not the small showrooms at those hotels! I think he spent too much time in vegas,as for these shows the sound was good on the originals,so it could be intersting if you like audiance cd's and theres a couple of raritys!

Well.. it seems we'll be getting a nice audience recording release in May. Southern comfort stands for quality and I'm sure they'll do their best to present these shows in the best way possible. One to look forward to!!

Baggypants, here people express their opinions and comments about upcomming releases. Probably no one is interested to answer your questions. By the way, I think your right about suspicious minds
