New Release: Summer in Vegas 1969 – 1974

Elvis One presents ELVIS – SUMMER IN VEGAS 1969 – 1973 and ELVIS – SUMMER IN VEGAS 1974, two new albums! A sequel to our “Winter In Vegas” releases from last year. This is a great collection of in total 92 tracks with many highlights. Only 10 tracks were released by Elvis’ record company. All tracks presented in the best possible sound quality (with respect to how the original recording was recorded). Most of these recordings are soundboard recordings with very good sound!

Besides many fantastic live versions like the very first live version of ‘My Way’ and ‘What Now My Love’, or the spontaneous version of ‘Sweet Inspiration’, SUMMER IN VEGAS 1969 – 1973 also includes 3 radio spots, an interview, announcements after the shows, and rehearsal excerpts.

SUMMER IN VEGAS 1974 is a compilation of two soundboard recordings in the style of (for example) the ‘Elvis In Concert’ album from 1977. The best of two shows without all the endless monologues between the songs. The complete shows with these recordings have been released. While the songs were often surprisingly different than usual (and good), the endless monologues detracted from this. That’s why we released it this way. It has become a surprising album that is wonderful to listen to and lets Elvis live in August 1974 shine! We’ve only used recordings that are not available through the wonderful FTD Collectors label. On the second CD we have made room for the monologues, band introductions and a very special Happy Birthday to Kathy Westmoreland.

This is a perfect addition to the official releases!
