THE 1972 MULTITRACK COLLECTION & MORE
This comprehensive deluxe set contains all known multitrack recordings recorded during live performances at the Showroom of the Las Vegas Hilton in 1972. All shows are painstakingly remastered with wonderful results.
Also, all available stage rehearsals are featured on this set. Among many others you hear Elvis sing songs like “Never Been To Spain”, “It’s Over”, “It’s Impossible” & “The Impossible Dream”. During the stage rehearsals Elvis sings songs like “Faded Love”, “Any Day Now”, “Something”, “My Babe” & “Until It’s Time For You To Go”. As an absolute highlight you hear Elvis sing Mat Monro’s “Portrait Of My Love”. A beautiful ballad which must be heard.
Also included is the August 4 opening performance. Although this is a show recorded by a lucky attendee, this recording is of outstanding quality and it shows the result of what Elvis was working on during the rehearsals earlier that day and week.
The included fully packed bonus disc contains no less than 16 rare and official unreleased versions of studio tracks recorded in 1972. This disc features alternate takes, unedited masters, undubbed & overdubbed masters and further unreleased alternate recordings.
