 Back In L.A. - Millbranch Music (2-LP)

Millbranch Music continues with its ultra-high quality vinyl releases, made for the real fan. 'Back In L.A.' is a 2-LP set with an extra 20-page booklet and printed inner sleeves, containing the legendary evening show at the Forum in Los Angeles, California from May 11, 1974. It comes on black, clear and transparent red colored vinyl.

Elvis’ 1974 LA concert, with Led Zeppelin in the audience, has seen quite a few releases over the past 10+ years, starting with ‘Live in LA’ on the FTD record label in 2011. Unfortunately the tape ran too slow on this release. Subsequent releases under various labels did not fully resolve the quality issues, as they were sourced from a “low noise” Audio cassette containing a copy of an original reel-to-reel tape. Although several Import labels attempted to remaster the FTD CD, the first noteworthy release of this concert was on the “City of Angels” set which featured a direct transfer from the original reel-to-reel tape. The original tape was not in the best condition after being poorly preserved and changing owners a few times. Regrettably, it was not remastered professionally when the "City of Angels” CD was released.

Thanks to the late Edwin Meijers, a pivotal figure in the 1980s with close ties to Colonel Parker - who at the time needed funds for legal battles - we were able to obtain the original tape. Meijers relationship with Parker facilitated the acquisition of several unique, authentic recordings, now cherished by collectors.

During the production of our “Kansas City Revisited” album, we were amazed by what could be done to restore these kinds of recordings using modern studio techniques and the expertise of our sound engineer. It inspired us to release this dynamic and historical show from May 1974 once more. This release includes a 20-page booklet detailing “Elvis Back in LA” and a bonus section with performances from 1956, 1970, and 1974. We know you will enjoy this great show, which still gets “A Whole Lotta Love” from the members of Led Zeppelin fifty years later!
