Here is the artwork and tracklisting of the Legacy DeLuxe release of That's The Way It Is.
On Tuesday, August 5, 2014, Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, will release That's The Way It Is (Deluxe Edition), the most ambitious Elvis Presley restoration package ever created, bringing together-for the first time ever--the album, the theatrical and home video versions of the film, six full-length concerts (featuring previously unreleased performances), rehearsal highlights and other rare recordings in one astounding and essential package. The result of an historic partnership between Sony Music and Warner Brothers Home Video, the deluxe set combines the video and audio assets of Elvis: That's The Way It Is with unique and previously unreleased material.
A highly-collectible 8CD/2DVD box set, That's The Way It Is (Deluxe Edition), marks the first time the 1970 documentary and album have been available in a single package, with bonuses including unreleased material, remixed and remastered audio and a new 80-page book detailing the entire event with facts, songwriter and musician interviews, and photos in a deluxe 8CD/2DVD box set. A 2CD Legacy Edition will also be available.

What Fantastic release. Yes we had TTWII Special edition, but this Legacy just stands outstanding with the DVDs (the original version of TTWII), and the unreleased concerts! Brutal, Great! A great gift to introduce Elvis music to a friend. This is almost to good to be true! YES!!!
Ten years ago prior to ttwii special edition and subsequent other releases on ftd, this would have been an incredible release for many of us die hard fans. The truth is its too late. Casual fans will not buy an expensive set of almost identical concerts and sub par rehearsal material. Fans like me will illegally obtain the two concerts as yet officially unreleased to complete our collections. I have no problem doing that. I've bought this product time and time again.
Looks like a great release to me for new fans. but we in general have only two cd's that we don't have yet. and to spend over a hunderd bucks for it. no way. I wait till FTD will release the two unreleased shows on it's label as a 2 cd edition.
Great release but maybe too late also for me and why are the bluray not in this set instead of dvd !
Why aren't the August 1970 filmed concert performances from the "Elvis, The Lost Performances" 1992 VHS release not on any of the DVD's in this upcoming 8 CD / 2 DVD box set? Why aren't any of the 12 outtakes from Disc #2 of the "That's The Way It Is" two disc special edition DVD set not on any of the DVD's in this coming 8 CD / 2 DVD box set? I will still be buying this upcoming 8 CD / 2 DVD box set release just for the previously unreleased concerts. But, it could have been an even better box set. And why hasn't there ever been any official home video releases that have included August 1970 filmed concert performances of Elvis singing "Words" and "The Next Step Is Love"?
The first line that I wrote should have said "Why aren't the August 1970 filmed concert performances from the "Elvis, The Lost Performances" 1992 VHS release on any of the DVD's in this upcoming 8 CD / 2 DVD box set?. On this website, it's impossible to go back and fix typos in a post because there's no edit button on here. It's so sad that there's so much footage shot for "That's The Way It Is" and "Elvis On Tour" that has still never been officially issued on DVD (I don't care about bootleg DVD's). I wish that Elvis Presley Enterprises owned the rights to that footage.
Are the cd's housed the same as the prince from another planet?
I just cant get excited over this. Yes it is too late, 14 years too late really. And to think we got new stuff in 1992 with the VHS of The Lost Performances and that still is not on DVD (along with a lot of other footage), but yet they include DVDs we already have? Why? Also many will buy the blu-ray this year, so this set's contents boggles the mind actually. It wont appeal to the masses and really only to the hardest core fan. I will not be purchasing it for 2 new concerts. I hate to whine here, but really it could have been so much better (and cheaper).
I agree wholeheartedly with Steve V it's too late and the dvd is redundant with the imminent blu ray release
This box looks great but, only dvd's, no blu ray's. Only two unreleased concerts on cd. That's it...
This box should be much bigger, why only one disc with rehearsals? There are enough rehearsals, what a big waste They should include them all: the ultimate TTWII box! Well, I was hopeing they will release the shows complete with A thing called love. This would make the box more interesting for the die hard fans. But no..........not complete ! DVD's we allready have for years, also nothing new. And we all know that there is enough film that is still not released. Please let us wait another 20 years Warner ! Oh oh oh
Way too late. I've already got everything here except the two partially unreleased concerts. Bottom line, I don't care in the least about this mega box. Might spend some of my $190.00 (USD) savings on the 2CD "baby brother." Depending on what's included.
I think what many of you on here are forgetting is that this is a mainstream release (yes, a pricey one, but still mainstream) for the general public. The general public has no idea about the Complete Works or the Audionics releases that most of us die-hards have had for several years now. Without those sitting on your shelf, you gotta admit that this is a very desirable set, and it sits perfectly next to all of the other releases in the Legacy series. In that respect, it's a more than complete look at TTWII - just as "Elvis at Stax" and "Prince From Another Planet" gave the general public an excellent and complete look at those moments in Elvis' career. Also, if the re-mixing and re-mastering of these shows yield the kind of results as found on “Prince” and “Stax”, then I’m more than a little excited.
As a die-hard collector, I agree that I'd have loved to have outtakes in BluRay quality and audio outtakes that I haven't heard before, but this isn't an FTD release for us die-hards. I also know that something of that ilk isn’t something the general buying public has any knowledge of or interest in buying. Remember, it's a LEGACY release just like the ones that came before in the series, and as a result there are going to be some people out there who pick up this set and they are going be blown away by what Elvis in 1970 was all about.
I have also been thinking about the price, and I’ve come to this conclusion. If FTD released these re-mastered and re-mixed shows as two CD sets that would be 3 releases costing nearly $120.00 alone. The set also contains the soundtrack as it was mixed and mastered by Vic Anesini as well as a CD of the outtakes. Then there are the two DVDs… Maybe it isn’t so pricey after all.. Oh yea, we all like nice booklets with our CDs – this one has an 80 page one…… I might just have to pre-order this one.
I will be buying it after shopping around for best deal but it would have had far, FAR more sales 20 years ago or if 'extra' material was in it !!!
I don't understand why Sony persists in releasing these expensive releases without plastic trays to protect the discs. This is a $200 release, and the discs are held in a manner that's worse than on a $10.00 budget release. When is Sony going to understand that these releases are going to sell mainly to collectors who want these discs to last , and not arrive already scratched and scuffed in the package. Otherwise this would be a good release.
I think FTD owes us this: "Hold on guys, the two unreleased concerts will be out for you soon". Although I defend this release for the mainstream public, I also think the DVDs are unnecessary. This boxset could cost much less with only 7 discs (I don't think the rehearsals should be there either). As a matter of fact if I were in charge I wouldn't even include the studio album (disc 1). I'd make this boxset with only 6 discs and call it "That's The Way It Is Live", but then it wouldn't be a "legacy release".
If the dvd section would be blu-ray I would definitely buy this box. I think it is only a matter of time when the 'unreleased' materials on the cds will be available in alternate circles. Either by FTD or if they are too slow through other channels. I take my chances and wait for that. This box is too expensive for me.
This release wont appeal to the mainstream., Too costly, and frankly most of the public doesnt care about TTWII. I think this was proven already with the SE DVD and 3 CD set that came out in 2000. Sony admitted sales were less then expected. So why this? And why now? As I've mentioned, only the hardcore will purchase. Joe Public is not about to shell out 200.00 for something was was a nice moment in Elvis' career, but certainly didnt set the world on fire. Even when I saw the film in theaters in 1970, it was only about half full.
SteveV, I fully agree with you on all but one point. When I went to see the film the theatre was packed and lots of people in the audience went in front to RnR together. That was a great experience. For the rest, I understand it is a limited edition anyway, trying to get people to buy it as a collectors item. Well, I am a hard core, diehard fan; but this gives me the milkcow blues. Only a blu-ray version will make me cross the line.
Steve – I agree with a lot of your sentiments, but I also am a bit more optimistic about the potential for appeal of this release than you are. After all, one never knows what a ‘new coat of paint’ can do for an old structure. The last three Legacy releases illustrate this completely. The updated packages of two MSG concerts from ’72 - Prince From Another Planet - (with its re-mixed stellar sound and DVD) and Elvis at Stax (whose re-mixed and mastered outtakes sound amazing) have somehow made a Gucci purse out of a lot of piggy. The Stax set has received critical praise and numerous spotlights with material that originally was considered less than noteworthy by many. Lastly, there is the most recent Legacy release of the Memphis ’74 show. Forty years later with re-mixed and re -mastered sound (not to mention being presented in its entirety for the first time), it has sold beyond Sony’s expectations.
That brings us to this set. 1970 is an enigma to the general public in regards to Elvis. He was no longer the slicked back hair, leather suit wearing tiger that they last saw in in his comeback special. He was a body-hugging jumpsuit wearing vocalist capable of powerhouse showcases like “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” or “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” He could also show us that he hadn’t forgotten how to rock with “Mystery Train” or “Polk Salad Annie.” I think this set will show the general public what a phenomenal entertainer Elvis was circa 1970. I expect Rolling Stone and Billboard to lead the way with praise for this set. How many of today’s critics and journalists do you think have really seen or heard Elvis from this period ? I’m sure this set with be an eye-opener for many.
As you correctly stated, this movie and its soundtrack certainly didn’t set the world on fire. Neither did the Stax sessions or the Memphis ’74 shows, but forty years down the road they are looked at entirely different. You mention that when you saw the film in theaters in 1970, it was only about half full. I’m sure it was – after all 1970 was a turning point in the career of Elvis Presley. His music, song selection, and appearance would never again be the same. The music was not the Memphis recorded blue-eyed soul that he last hit the charts with, and a show filmed in Vegas wasn’t like a Hollywood Bowl or Cow Palace filmed show for the general public to devour. I mean Vegas in 1970 wasn’t today’s Vegas where the Stones, Springsteen, McCartney, and even Britney play sold-out shows. I’m sure many in 1970 expected Vegas to turn Elvis into a tuxedo-wearing Dean Martin clone. This movie shows that was far from the case.
I may be wrong, but I’m sure many on here had serious doubts and reservations about the three previous Legacy releases as well. So, is this set coming out too late ? I may be wrong, but I say no based on success of the other Legacy projects. As I said, time and a new coat of paint just might make this the most successful boxed set of Elvis –yet. That is until the 50th anniversary of EOT in 2022. JOKE!!!!
This is a great set but offers nothing new to us die hard fans and Sony must be out of their minds if they think the casual Elvis listener will shell out £120 for this set, i actually pre ordered the set from Amazon but cancelled it when i found out the film was not Bluray what a rip off ....ill wait and get this in 12 months time when its reduced in price because this set will not sell well !!!
Strange how in the 60th anniversary of the iconic track that started everything not only for Elvis but also for Rock in general is ignored but a jump suited Vegas Elvis with no relevance to 2014 is pushed by Sony. Really don't get it.
Andy_2,
If it's any consolation to you, each concert on this set kicks off with a rocket-fueled blast of "That's All Right"!
Just a side note --
For the sake of historical accuracy, "The Original Singles" tracks on CD 1 should be in MONO.
I'm assuming that they are Otherwise, there's no point. Especially since "The Next Step Is Love" and "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" are already included on the original album in their stereo album versions.
Oops! Should read: stereo, studio versions.
The lost performances from the '92 vhs should be on the forcoming bluray or here the dvd, i don't understand why not !
I have the two Audionics CD's and they sound fine to me. I don't think that the official label has better sound thans the unofficial ones.
well i have made my decision to order this set and paid for it by selling all my TTW11 boots and officiaL releases as i am sure the sound will be improved and it brings all the concerts and studio takes in one place.
The TTWII Box Set has entered the Official UK Album Chart for w/e 16th August, 2014 at No.75 selling some 1,287 units.
