Elvis Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis presents one of the most legendary performers of all time in his home town of Memphis where it all began. Not only does this 2CD Legacy Edition set feature tracks not included on the original album, it also features previously unreleased material and a 24 page booklet with rare photos, previously unseen memorabilia, new liner notes, press clips and more.
Elvis’s attention to detail and showmanship is very evident on this release as Disc 2 shows him performing hits such as “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” and “Softly As I Leave You” for an upcoming Las Vegas engagement in preparation. Furthermore, the entire recording is actually a full scale live recording “test run” in front of a live audience in preparation for his historic concert return to Memphis, where he’d last played live in 1957.
The remarkable performance was recorded in MONO, drenched in the reverb Elvis preferred, and provides new insight into the magic of Elvis. This specially remastered release is available from 17th March, exactly 20 years since the original performance was recorded.
