With so many bootleg releases out - several per week if you collect them all - no new import CD really surprises us anymore. Until just now, when we got the announcement for the new two-CD set, "Sittin' On Top of the World," (the midnight show at the Las Vegas Hilton on August 12, 1970). This release offers, for the first time ever, the complete one and a half hour reel of the August 12, 1970 Midnight Show in Las Vegas, in the original, stereo mix recorded back in 1970. But the most amazing thing, apart from the 24-page booklet in full color, is an amazing bonus gift: an exact copy of Elvis’ personal tortoise shell guitar pick, as may be seen during the TTWII rehearsals, on display in Graceland, or in the book "Elvis by the Presleys." Buyers get one of two kinds in this limited-edition set: heavy, for the electric guitar, or medium, for acoustic guitar. Just like Elvis used! This will for sure become a collectable all on its own. So... even Elvis's guitar picks are now bootlegged...
