January 29 - Spring Break In Las Vegas With Priscilla

The Millbranch import record label released the double LP 'Spring Break In Las Vegas' featuring the March 22nd, 1975 Midnight performance as recorded at the Las Vegas Hilton.

Publicity stated: Right in time for the end of this year Millbranch Music continues with its high quality vinyl releases, made for the real fan and limited as usual: 200 copies made on black vinyl and on transparent violet vinyl.

'Spring Break In Las Vegas' is a beautiful 2-LP set with printed innersleeves, containing intensive liner notes, and containing a newly restored soundboard recording of the March 22nd, 1975 Midnight show performance at the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel! And even more material from Elvis ́ shows in March of 1975!

This concert was released for the first time on the legendary 'Profile' CD-Box-Set in 1996 (Volume 2) and immediately found its way to the “Top Ten” of highly appreciated 1970 ́s Elvis concerts, mainly because of its perfect song selection, which fitted Elvis so well in spring of 1975, but also because it is easy to recognize, that Elvis had a great time on stage and did sing great and with passion this evening.

The recording is now sourced from the original digital master, and Millbranch Music presents a newly remastered Stereo-version which reveals details never heard before!

March 22nd, 1975: It was the week before Easter, the night of the nationwide “Easter Seals Telethon”, broadcast coast to coast across America. While most of the country sat in front of their televisions, Elvis Presley was on stage at the Las Vegas Hilton. That same evening, he quietly donated $5,000 to the telethon’s cause for children with disabilities. His backing singers, The Sweet Inspirations, had just appeared live on the program. During the show, Elvis joked about the telethon and about the other charity, the March of Dimes, and even about the long-awaited tax rebate checks everyone expected that week. ‘I’m still waitin’ on my rebate’. he laughed. ‘Didn’t get mine, had to pay for breakfast’. Yet the millionaire who claimed to get nothing gave instead, turning humor into generosity, and a Las Vegas night into a moment of Easter grace.

The mastering of this LP was entrusted to Planet of Sound Mastering, led by Petrushka, an expert with over 25 years of experience in both live and studio audio. With a background as a musician, producer, and live engineer, her journey began as an intern at Abbey Road Studios in London, where she was mentored during a full-day mastering session. It was there she first heard about the legendary fifteen-year learning curve to mastering, a truth she now acknowledges through decades of hands-on experience.

During a U.S. tour with her former band in the 1990s, she also worked briefly on a project at Sony Studios in New York, adding to her understanding of how emotion, performance, and recording come together in a live context.

"My style of mastering is all about feeling, you should get the sense you were there," says Petrushka. "This is not about polishing everything to perfection, but about preserving what made it human and alive."

Having grown through years of practical refinement - from theory to instinct - her approach reflects a deep sensitivity to how a performance breathes. For this release, every channel was carefully balanced, with special attention given to vocal depth and instrumental clarity.

Available on vinyl in two Collector's Editions: classic black vinyl and transparent violet vinyl. Each version comes with full-color printed inner sleeves, featuring rare photos and liner notes. A beautiful tribute to one of Elvis’s best performances, at least of 1975!
