Please Release Me And Other Great Songs!

 Please Release Me And Other Great Songs! - Paradise Road Records


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.

Together with our 'Oh Happy Day' release this cd contains probably one of the most interesting shows from Elvis 3rd Vegas season and presented on this cd in the best possible sound!
