The 1973 Sound Booth Collection and More Volume 2

  
This comprehensive deluxe 6 CD set contains so-called sound booth recordings recorded during 4 live performances at the Las Vegas Hilton in 1973. Sound booth recordings are recordings made with one microphone (mono) or two microphones (stereo) placed directly on stage.  All shows are painstakingly remastered, and presented as they were recorded: in glorious ‘stereo’ sound. Also included is the January 25 1973 stage rehearsal at corrected speed and it never sounded better then on this set. As a bonus the complete homerecording made in November 1973 at the house of Sam Thompson in Memphis Tennessee is present too.

The included bonus disc set contains 24 rare or official unreleased versions of studio tracks recorded in 1973. This disc includes rough mix masters, unedited masters and some superb alternate recordings & rehearsals. Get this ultimate deluxe edition while it’s available; it’ll round up your collection.
