Re: New Elvis CD Announcement: A Grand Finale In Indianapolis

As expected, this version has the "Adios" cd as source.
It may be sound a (very very tiny bit) better, but in a way it's the same.
If one could reduce the echo from it, it could be another thing..
But for new, the fan who hasn't have Elvis his latest concert , they could do worse.

Re: Polk Theatre, August 6, 1956 - isolated performance audio


That was a great listen (no, I am not being sarcastic). Although the sound quality isn't great and the songs are sometimes very short, the clip offers a nice glimpse into Elvis' live shows during that fantastic summer of '56. It is not hard to imagine the excitement in the crowd. Boy, we can ...

Re: Elvis vinyl related discussion


I meant to buy Harem Holiday FTD vinyl but ordered California Holiday instead by accident!

Anyway, I've opened it up and currently playing side 1. WOW!!!!! Hands down this is the best FTD vinyl that I have heard. It sounds fantastic and is laying on the turntable flat. As many of you know, I ...

Re: Elvis vinyl related discussion

I was in doubt about buying this version (Already had 5 different versions) but saw it and the price was right, so...
It looks beautiful but the pic on the front is a bit less sharp then the other versions, the vinyl itself is nice red marbled.
Soundwise it's close to perfect, it has puch when ...

All 4 shows are excellent, really at the top of his game, the ultimate superstar.
But if i had to choose one, it's Hampton Roads, closed followed by Richmond.

Re: Elvis vinyl mastered by Boppin' Bob Jones

The Elvis Tapes is an odd one... it's a non-RCA, talking album...
It is, but soundwise it sounds much better then the original albums with that material.

Re: Elvis vinyl mastered by Boppin' Bob Jones

Indeed a great set of records.
The box and artwork is nice, there is some thought in them.
The music is ofcourse excellent, the choices somewhat suprising but very welcome.
Soundwise BJ did a masterful job on the mastering part.
And even it stated that record three goes up until 1974, the "My way ...

Re: New Elvis CD Announcement: A Grand Finale In Indianapolis

I believe there are two audiense recorded sources.
The one released as "The last farewell" on vinyl (and incomplete cd) and the "Adios" version by AJR.
Al the following up ones are sourced from these two.
I have highly doubt this version will sound any better.
