The Straight Arrow import label announced the release of "A Private Audience With The King" with December 10th, 2010 as the release-date. It features an audience recording of the December 9th, 1976 9 P.M. show. 


This recording was originally released in 1991 by the PEAF label ("Tornado From Vegas"), but it was an incomplete version edited down to 70 minutes and the sound quality was below par. This release runs for approximately 84 minutes.


The CD package is completed with a 16-page booklet, including a rare collection of photos from the December 8th, 9PM show and liner notes written by a person who was there and describes the show in fascinating detail.
