Paradise Road Records presents ELVIS SINGS PLEASE RELEASE ME - AND OTHE GREAT SONGS! at the International Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada.
A new album with the great August 24, 1970 midnight show and a part of the pre-show of the August 12, 1970 midnight show with 'A Thing Called Love' by The Imperials.
The August 24 midnight show is an audience recording (in very good sound) not to be missed with Elvis in great mood singing parts of 'Ave Maria' and 'Spanish Eyes', a great version of 'When The Snow Is On The Roses'  (with 3 false starts), the medley 'Blue Suede Shoes / Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On' and a great show ending when Elvis singing 'Release Me' after the first notes of 'Can't Help Falling In Love'.
This show was previously released on The Hillbilly Cat Returns from 2012 but deserves an updated release in this collection from Paradise Road Records.
The pre-show tracks by The Imperials is a nice addition taken from the MGM tapes.

Collected Works Part 1 - February 1970 (3CD)

 Collected Works Part 1 - February 1970 (3CD)


Elvis’ first live LP “Elvis In Person” which was released as a double LP together with the “Back In Memphis” album reached the gold status in less than two months after its release. No wonder RCA decided to record another live album early 1970. This resulted in the “Elvis On Stage” LP featuring live performances from February 1970 at the International Hotel in Las Vegas. Also included were two left over recordings which were actually recorded for the “Elvis In Person” LP but they remained unused. The whole project asproduced by Felton Jarvis contained slight overdubs and applause. The recordings presented here are mostly undubbed or they are presented in unique mixes. Most of the tracks are sourced from near mint acetates containing those unique mixes. The original “Elvis On Stage” LP only reached the gold status eight months after its release. A reason may be that the album did not contain the usual golden oldies which you would expect on a live album. The album showed Elvis has grown beyond his hits and became an all-round entertainer. Also presented in this box set are two complete live midnight performances recorded right after the RCA crew left the building.
Just as all recordings on this set also these vibrant audience recordings are digitally remastered for optimum listening pleasure.

Elvis 26 - Essential Sixties Splices Volume 2 - CMT

 Elvis 26 - Essential Sixties Splices Volume 2 - CMT


After the first release in this series (25) CMT is proud to present the second volume , again some  incredible  brandnew, unreleased spliced takes are on this release and focusses on 1961; Elvis was 26 when he recorded all these great tracks.

As always, expect some nice surprises, since a lot of the tracks sound very different then what has been released before.

It kicks of with an AMAZING new version of "His Latest Flame" , in the studio they tried out different tempo's, these are combined here and the opening starts of slow and turns into a great new version!
Another highlight is the new "harmony" version of "I'm Yours", where the album version is harmony all the way, this version only has parts, it sounds fresh and to our humble opinion better than the versions released so far. "Follow That Dream" has a longer ending, using all takes available to get a different sound.
Also included is a spliced take of "Can't Help Falling in Love" , which uses officially unreleased takes.

We could go on and on, since every track on this album is something you have never heard.

Tracklisting:

01. His Latest Flame - spliced take  1,1,2,2,3,3,12,10,12
