April 21 - Got Me Workin' On A Brand New Cadillac, Honey!

The Straight Arrow import releases 'A Brand New Cadillac, Honey!' and 'Got Me Workin' Boss Man - 40 Years After Vol. 1' have been released. 

From the press-releases:
Straight Arrow is pleased to bring you a new double CD dedicated to Elvis' April ’76 tour entitled 'A Brand New Cadillac, Honey'. It was short but very good tour, with Tony Brown and Ronnie Tutt replacing Shane Kiester on piano and Larrie Londin on drums. 
The Long Beach, April 25th, 1976 afternoon show is previously unreleased. The Seattle, April 26th, 1976 show was first released by Millbranch Music ('The Bicentennial King Vol. 2', 2010) from a rather bad, flat sounding tape source. Straight Arrow was fortunate enough to obtain recently recovered 1st generation copies of the original audience-recorded cassettes, which were not in circulation previously. Both shows were recorded by the same person. These enjoyable concerts were never before available in good sound quality… until now! Ask your dealer for sound samples.
As usual, this new release will be presented in a beautiful 4-panel digipak that includes photos taken in Long Beach (2:30 pm) and Seattle and newspaper reviews of both concerts.

Straight Arrow is pleased to bring you a new CD dedicated to Elvis' May ’77 tour entitled 'Got Me Workin' Boss Man - 40 Years After Vol. 1'. The Macon, June 1st, 1977 show is previously unreleased. This recording was taken directly from a recently found 1st generation copy of an audience-recorded mastertape. This historic concert was never before available in decent sound quality… until now! Ask your dealer for sound samples. Compared with an average show in Baton Rouge, May 31st, Macon concert is surprisingly good. ”Fairytale”, ”My Way” and ”And I Love You So” are performed really well but one highlight stands out, rocking performance of „Big Boss Man“ at the end of show. As usual, this new release will be presented in a beautiful 3-panel digipak that includes photos taken in Macon and a newspaper review.
