Collected Works Vol. 2 and 3
The Redemption import label released the box sets ‘Collected Works Vol. 2 (3-CD-set) and volume 3 (2-DVD / DVD-set)’.
Especially the July 14 rehearsal recordings contain some not to be missed essential recordings. Most likely only MGM has recorded this rehearsal. On this set you are able to hear some of these recordings not issued at all or not issued in their entirety on any other release to date. For example Elvis and the band are listening to the acetates of “Bridge Over Troubled Water”, and according to Elvis it would be “a hell of a production on stage”. In which he was right. Besides some essential conversations the performances are very powerful and a great example of Elvis’ vocal abilities.
As a bonus this set includes the complete soundtrack (on 2 CDs) with all its overdubs and edits as can be heard in the original 1970 theatrical version. Unique mono mixes from 1970.

Publicity for Volume 3 - August 1970 Rehearsals stated: Volume 3 in the ‘Collected Works’ series presents you some fantastic recordings from August 1970. Just as with the tracks on volume 2 these recordings are an addition to the brilliant 50th anniversary release. There should be no need to re-release the same recordings presented on that release. The tracks selected for this set are either unreleased or not issued the way they are presented here. That means more complete, uncut and unedited.
For the first time, you can hear the rehearsals of the backing vocalists singing along with acetates during the August 4 rehearsal. Also, all uncut and unedited versions of the August 7 rehearsal are included. For example, you can hear Elvis suggests to Dennis Sanders (as a joke we hope) to hang Lamar from the balcony, which got a big laugh from the insiders present. Again the recordings that are officially released are left out to avoid offering the same material over and over again.
The official release of the August 10 rehearsal has been a big subject of discussion. Unfortunately the songs are not recorded in their entirety. On the official releases these recordings have been made complete for listening pleasure. Although the results were pretty good, the necessary editing resulted in parts of the original recordings being cut. Here we present you the original rehearsal as recorded on august 10 1970. These recordings are remastered and speed corrected using the latest technology, with great result.
As a bonus this deluxe package contains the ‘Lost Performances’ on DVD (for the first time!). This fan favorite has not been released on DVD until now. This limited edition (including 16 page booklet) is now available.

DVD: The Lost Performances
Early in 1986, during a routine inspection of the underground vaults at the MGM/Turner library in Kansas, a pallet loaded with cans was discovered. The cans contained numerous original negative trims and outtakes from ‘That’s The Way It Is’ and ‘Elvis On Tour’, which have now been edited together to create this fabulous compilation, a must for fans and collectors.
