  • A STUDY OF ELVIS PRESLEY’ IN CONCERT” Book/CD/DVD/Blu-ray ()
    “A STUDY OF ELVIS PRESLEY’ IN CONCERT” A thesis of the TV-special.
    BOOK/CD/DVD/Blu-Ray.

     

     

    The book contains 136 pages thesis with many beautiful related photos, interviews and documents with extended information about “the tv-special”.  To support the thesis, we had to include footage of the aired European TV-Special broadcast and a behind the scenes interview and four clips to support the thesis.
    All multimedia material is available on the net, YouTube, forums and other dedicated sites, etc., but for easy access we’ve collected them in one place and edited it to follow the story line of the book. We tried to use the best quality multimedia available to us.
    Every effort has been made to debunk accepted “facts”. Putting facts in the right perspective as should have been done years ago.
    The question why we’ve made a book instead of an internet publication?  It’s simple, you can pick it up and show it directly to anyone who comes along with old mis interpreted facts.
    This book will help Elvis fans explain and the media to correct their opinion when reviewing Elvis’ last TV special or concerts of his years. Anyone should pay the respect Elvis deserves for his showmanship and the genius which he really was.

    Elvis In Concert is a historical document. It has to be seen and listened to, so someone can understand the full Elvis story. It’s the Shakespearean final act of a great life. ­­ Perhaps he said it best himself in a 1961 interview with Lloyd’ Shearer. ‘Cut Me and I Bleed.’
    We do hope that it sets of an idea to bring out a massive release which justifies Elvis in his later years.
    Right now you hold a rare study of Elvis Presley in concert, a plead and thesis in your hands.
    The audio and footage are additional and limited in quantity. For quality and durability, we choose pressing in 24 carat gold when possible. All our sources are mentioned in the book for even more in-depth reading.

    The audio on the cd is remastered and re-arranged according to the original setlist of Rapid City to have the full concert experience how it develops it to the climax moments of the show of which we refer to in the thesis. Fan comments were removed and “Unchained melody” is added.  The footage is on DVD and Blu-ray (Same content in higher resolution.) Note: The clip of “I Really Don’t Want To Know “was our first test for the high quality audio presentation only. We included it as a bonus. See the book for more detail.


    The songs in order of appearance:
    Also, Sprach Zarathustra/Opening Riff /See See Rider /I Got A Woman /Amen /That’s All Right /Are You Lonesome Tonight?/Love Me/Fairytale/Little Sister/If You Love Me (Let Me Know)/You Gave Me A Mountain /And I Love You So /Jailhouse Rock /How Great Thou Art /O Sole Mio / It’s Now Or Never /Trying To Get To You/Hawaiian Wedding Song /(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear/Don’t Be Cruel/My Way /Early Morning Rain /What’d I Say /Johnny Be Goode /I Really Don’t Want To Know /Hurt /Hound Dog /Unchained Melody/Can’t Help Falling In Love /Closing Riff.

  • ELVIS PRESLEY: THE MONO MASTERS 1960 - 1975 + 5 CD (Promo Edition) ()

    Elvis Presley in MONO (Promo Edition)

    MONO is how most listeners first heard Elvis in the 1950s and 1960s, when it was the predominant audio format. Until 1968, each Elvis album was given a unique MONO and STEREO mix, but Elvis always regarded the MONO mix as primary.  This was also true for singles.  Up until affordable home STEREO systems in the late 1960s, the record industry always regarded STEREO as secondary, going back to its debut in the late 1950s.  MONO singles, EPs and LPs were the standard for retail and radio.  Simply put, MONO had all of the sound mixed in a single channel and was meant to be listened to on a turntable with a built-in speaker, a car radio, or a stand-alone AM radio receiver.  The goal was to create MONO master takes with as much clarity and power as possible.

     

    When EMI released MONO masters of the Beatles in 2009, they received rave reviews. Left out in the cold were Elvis’ loyal fans. Somehow, SONY didn’t see a reason why they might want the pleasure of listening to his original MONO mixes.  So when we first heard about the existence of the original MONO master tapes of Elvis’ hit singles, it was an easy decision to make these available to the fans in a five-disc collection.  Elvis' acclaimed MONO tracks have been newly-mastered for CD, using the best digital technology. Hours were dedicated to concentrated listening, fastidiously comparing these master tapes with mint, MONO first pressings. The result is a perfect reproduction of Elvis' original MONO vinyl sound!

And the best thing is, this is the real deal!

    To us, this concert doesn’t need any enhancements to overwhelm the listener, it is the first row with ELVIS & 15,000 fans at the BOSTON GARDEN! It sounds all new. There was additional work but it all started with the transfer and we loved it! It’s a thrill to hear it like this.
    We included due to the large demand the footage of Boston & the November tour also in HD on Blu-ray. (Almost 2 hours and yes, it includes little bit of new footage too). The very first release in High definition!
    We’ve chosen to use dual-layer DVD to have the best possible quality on a DVD. As a bonus we added a compilation of Boston & Tuscaloosa to have a more enjoyable viewing expirience of the Boston concert. Although priority has been given to the historical content. So you’re good to go either way!
