The 1971 Soundboard Collection & More
Due for release from the Redemption import label is 'The 1971 Soundboard Collection & More' 6-CD-set.
From the press release: 'The 1971 Soundboard Collection & More' featuring all known soundboard recordings plus the essential rare and alternate 1971 studio recordings.
This deluxe 6 CD set features recordings from 6 shows recorded during the first Vegas season plus one tour show recorded in Boston Massachusetts.
The first Vegas season of 1971 started on January 26 and finished February 23. During these shows Elvis sang some of the tracks from the just released 'Elvis Country' album. Examples are 'Make The World Go Away', 'There Goes My Everything' and 'Snowbird'. All shows are presented as they were recorded: in glorious original mono sound.
In 1971 Elvis’ record company released three completely new studio albums, five 45 RPM singles, three Camden budget albums and one compilation box-set. A highlight on this set is the only known live version of the (at the time) new song 'Only Believe'. A studio version would be released in June 1971 on the 'Love Letters From Elvis' album, but the song was recorded a year earlier.
The fully packed bonus section included in this set contains not less than 25 rare and official unreleased versions of studio tracks recorded in 1971. This disc features unedited masters, unreleased mono masters and further unedited recordings and alternate takes. The mono masters, like all of the tracks on this box set, are a huge improvement over previous releases. They never sounded better.
The (officially) unreleased version of 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face', initially recorded as a duet with Ginger Holladay, who was there during the sessions with her sister Mary to provide backup vocals, is another highlight on this bonus disc. There are three additional versions of this great song featured as well.
