This new Madison CD should please all the fans with some rare studio and live recordings. Hear Elvis rehearsing It's Midnight before going into the first take of this song, a brief studio jam of Johnny B. Goode and having fun afterwards, one of his last performances of the song Help Me recorded at the closing show of the April/May '77 tour in Saginaw,MI., Elvis and the Imperials get down to cutting a terrific version of Bosom Of Abraham and more. All the tracks on this CD are in full stereo and superb quality.
