The book also features over 70 in-depth reviews and articles on the main releases by well-known Elvis experts, authors, and fans, showing you what you missed, and helping you to distinguish what you should, or shouldn't add to your collection.

February 08 - Burning At Both Ends

The SR import record label announced the release of the LP 'Burning at Both Ends'. 

Publicity stated: Coming early March 2026 is the double LP 'Burning At Both Ends'. This is the second step of an ambitious project aimed at highlighting Elvis' rock side in the 1970s. For this second step, we are proud to present the most successful rocking single in the seventies: 'Burning Love'.

The new SR will feature the first three LP sides with the complete closing show of the April and May 1975 tour, surely one of the best of the year, recorded at Murfreesboro, TN, on May 07, 1975, while the fourth side is dedicated to an analysis of the song 'Burning Love', with its development first explored in the studio and then in concert. 

The first three sides of the vinyl present a Soundboarding recording of the Murfreesboro show, which was previously released on CD, but this is the first time on vinyl format, and it has been remastered from the analog mono source, which will present an incredibly superior sound. The last side of the vinyl allows the listener to enjoy an incredible sound while exploring the evolution of the song. The glossy gatefold will be accompanied by a bonus 30x30 cm glossy photo. A Must-have! 

The SR intends to present Elvis at the peak of his career. Elvis’ 'Burning Love' as recorded in March 1972,  combined with the Murfreesboro May 1975 show, is undoubtedly the best moment of both years, presenting him at the top of his game, delivering a great studio session and a great show. The performance presents Elvis with a renovated Rocker attitude. Likewise, the recording is of good quality, with a clear, clean sound and well-defined instruments. But importantly, this is the only complete soundboard of the tour.

The April and May concert presents us with a rediscovered Elvis who, although overweight, faces the stage with a newfound rock attitude. We can call the 'Burning Love Tour', because Elvis performed the song in almost all 18 shows. The song was recorded in March 1972. The song was performed twice during the April 1972 tour and was the highlight of the November 1972 tour. It then disappeared after the Aloha TV special. 1975 represents the song's comeback, and together with Elvis’s rocker side, it will be performed until April 1976.

The show is great and now consists of a solid collection, although Elvis dropped some of the recently recorded songs. The range of Elvis’ performance is still extensive, with his rocking side performed in the show, including the 1972 'Burning Love', the new 'T.R.O.U.B.L.E' without forgetting the now classic, and highly challenging vocal 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', which, without doubt, represents the highlight of the show.  

This new SR Special Product will be housed in a Deluxe 300-gram sleeve that includes the double 150-gram vinyl, also containing a bonus card.  

 

To have a special collector’s item, the 300 copies will be presented on red colored vinyl. All the copies will come with glossy Stickers, hand-numbered and individually sealed.

February 06 - Oh Happy Day

Sony Legacy reveiled a second preview from the upcoming 'EPiC' soundtrack album, which will be released on CD, vinyl and digitally. The CD will be available February 20th, the 2-LP on April 24, 2025. 

You can now listen to the 'EPiC Version' of 'Oh Happy Day' are reworked for the movie by producer Jamieson Shaw.

The guys from the Elvis Information Network noted: 'Oh Happy Day' from Elvis' August 7 1970 showroom rehearsal has been previously released but only the shorter 1.55 mins version. Running 3.11 and with overdubbed instruments, this is a much more satisfying version. It also demonstrates the real shame that Elvis never decided to record the song.

 

Baz Luhrmann said about this new upgraded version, "When we have a sequence in the film where Elvis is speaking about his musical heart, it’s born from Gospel and from country. When recovering the sound, we were able to have some wonderful sequences with the incredible Sweet Inspirations.

In the short sequence for 'Oh Happy Day' the archival recording quality wasn’t strong enough. So we were lucky to have Shannon Sanders and his incredible group of singers down in Nashville, who sang in the film 'ELVIS', create a somewhat musical memory flashback of Elvis in his early days sneaking in and watching the Gospel Choir at East Trigg Baptist Church. A heartfelt shout-out for all of the wonderful creative support to Shannon and the choir for this reimagined version of 'Oh Happy Day'."

Luhrmann stated on the inspiration behind the new medleys and remixes on the album: "We were constantly asking ourselves, what would Elvis do if he were around? How might he experiment, where might he go? He was always a musical searcher, looking for different flavors and sounds."

The soundtrack will be released on digital and CD formats on February 20th, in conjunction with the film’s IMAX premiere. The soundtrack’s 2-LP vinyl release will follow on April 24th. The 2-LP will also include two color variants, a Graceland exclusive Red Marble vinyl, and an Amazon exclusive Translucent Orange and Yellow vinyl.

Amazon will release an exclusive 2-LP pressed on translucent orange colored vinyl and on translucent yellow vinyl. 

This version can be pre-ordered from >>> Amazon and >>> Amazon Germany.
