Rocks The Garden

The SR import-label announced the release of "Rocks The Garden", a LP and CD set featuring a soundboard from Boston Garden, Boston MA , November 10, 1971 coupled with the unreleased live ambience recording from Houston November 12, 1971.

From the press-release (including the English):
The SR attitude is to present Elvis at the peak of his possibility and without doubt the November 1971 tour presents Elvis at his top. Both vocal and physical.

"Elvis appears better than ever" delivering incredible shows with a wider repertoire respect the previous tour, but overall the man is on the music. If Rock is attitude, the man got it as never before. 

After one year prisoner in the Vegas and Tahoe hotel the tiger is finally free. The performance is terrific full and sharp you can’t stop to watch the man in action. 

The Boston concert is great, but without doubt the Houston concert is better, is the pick of the tour. In seventy crazy minutes Elvis gives life to his best, spacing and personalizing all music kinds as nobody can do it... no other words are necessary. 
The limited edition box set is housed in a deluxe 300 grams sleeve that includes a double vinyl edition of the album with the remastered show from Boston November 10, 1971, a CD with an unreleased show from Houston November 12, 1971 and as bonus a 60x30 high quality glossy paper 130 gram poster, plus the CD card  25x 12 cm and a large Sticker of  17x9 cm.

Double 200 gram vinyl, including the incredible Boston show with the best audio possible. A soundboard recording from the improved sound for the first time in a double high valued collector vinyl set at 33 rpm.


The CD includes we think the best show of the tour, Houston November 12, 1971, in a completely unreleased Audience recording with a decent audio. This recording come from an early generation copy of the master tape, the sound quality is  good considering the early arena show. We have on our hands the original mono tape of extremely good quality enabling us to carry out simple re-mastering work, concentrating on the reduction of noise trying to achieve a more clear sound and of Elvis in matter to delivery  the best audio possible for your listen pleasure.
