Summer In Sin City

November 13, 2011 | Music

Touchdown Productions' tenth release is a double CD set wich includes two Shows from Elvis' second "Summer Festival" in 1971. In a year with no multitracks available and very few soundboard recordings in circulation, very good to excellent audience recordings are to be treasured. Here are two of them ... in improved soundquality, sounding much better than before.

Very disappointed about this label. There are so many show that have yet to be released. Re-releasing all the old shows that already sounded very good is making fast money. I compared their last release "August Reloaded". There was absolutely no difference to the original. In this case I would prefer if the moneymakers would download a NEW show from the internet and get this on silver CD. But with all this bootleg mass-releases of the last month bothering the fans with old material is unnesseccary.

Yes the sound has really improved. You can hear the rinkling of the glasses much better now..

It's out now. As I do have the old Chip releases only as CDRs I must say that I'm pretty satisfied with this release. The sound is improved in comparison to the old CDs and the artwork is awesome. In my book it's a good release.
