January 13 - Bumps Are Gone, But We Have The CD But He's Still King

The E.P. Collector import-label CD "Bumps Are Gone But He's Still King!" has been released. 

From the press-release:
The Hartford, July 28th, 1976 show is previously unreleased in complete audience recorded form. The Audionics label released parts of this show taken from soundboard source (CD 'Across The Country', 2005). Unfortunately, complete soundboard recording of this concert does not exist. The E.P. Collector label had the complete audience tape in very good sound quality in their vaults for many, many years and finally decided to release it. The July 28th, 1976 is longest and perhaps the best show from this particular tour. Among the concert highlights there are fantastic performances of 'Jailhouse Rock', 'America', 'Polk Salad Annie' and 'Hurt'. There is one special moment too, when Elvis sing 'Happy Birthday', to Kitty Kahane, daughter of Elvis friend, comedian Jackie Kahane.


This show was restored with a great care with a focus on not changing the integrity of the original monaural recording. This CD is packaged in a nicely designed digipack with concert review and collection of images taken during Hartford concert on July 28, 1976.
