May 01 - A Warm Preview From Hawaii

Here is a preview of the upcoming "Elvis - Aloha Via Satellite" book from Joseph Pirzada which will be published through Boxcar label. The book is still scheduled for release in at the start of June. Click on the picture for a bigger (pre)view.

Keeping Them Warm

After taking a break, The Venus import label released the  "Keeping Them Warm". 


From the press-release
We kick off with the first volume of a new series of CD/Book combos on our sub-label: VAR – Venus Ambient Recordings. 

Presented as a hardcover book measuring 18x18cm, our first combo – Keeping Them Warm – contains 135 pages and is filled to the brim with pictures from the August/September 1972 Vegas season plus there’s a bonus section about the April 1972 tour, there will be many pictures you’ve never seen before.

The concert itself is the unreleased August 22, 1972 Midnight Show, presented in our usual Outer Space sound quality. Forget what’s been released by now from -so called- booth tapes. Even a Sound Board -where most of the action is missing- will have a hard time to compete. Now you can capture the atmosphere of an Elvis show as if you are present.

Stay tuned for our next volume in the Unedited Masters series plus another project of DVD/Book combos and don’t forget, if it sounds like from outer space, you can be sure it’s from Venus. Please note that this is a very limited release!
