The Venus import label released a third volume in their 'Unedited Masters' series entitled 'Unedited Masters; Nashville 1971'.
From the press-release:
Out now from Venus is the next volume of Unedited Masters; Nashville 1971. This time you’ll be treated to 22 tracks you’ve never heard that way before. All tracks are mastered and mixed completely different to what you know, you’ll hear them in their full length and (as usual) the sound quality is flabbergasting.
As with the previous volumes, you’ll again have the opportunity to hear Elvis at his best. Gone are the awful disproportional overdubs and gone is the muffled sound. All that remains is Elvis and his musicians having a ball in the studio, recording some great songs.
The greatest surprise must be “Amazing Grace” (take 2). Yes, we know that it has been released before. So we urge you to listen to that version first and then listen to our “blues version”, wanna bet you won’t believe this is the same take? We are very proud we can present this version to you, but we feel it’s a shame it hasn’t been released decades ago!
So get ready for some big surprises and don’t spoil it for yourself by listening on your computer. This CD should be played on a real sound system, as loud as your neighbors allow.
