Various streaming platforms services like Apple Music and Amazon Music used previously unreleased multi-track and / or quad-mixes to create 'Dolby Atmos' and '360 Degree Reality Mixes' for their streaming platforms.
According to the experts on various fora the original four-channel Quad-mixes for the albums 'From Elvis in Memphis', 'On Stage', 'That's the Way It Is', 'Elvis Country', 'As Recorded at Madison Square Garden', 'Aloha from Hawaii', 'Recorded Live on Stage in Memphis', 'Promised Land' and 'Today' were used. Fans with the proper devices and subscriptions can filter out these unreleased four-channel mixes.
Besides audio-upgrades various Elvis Presley movies have been released in 4K Ultra HD quality. Paramount Archivist Andrea Kala announced the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release of Elvis' 'Blue Hawaii' later in 2022 as part of the 'Paramount Presents' collection.
Also set for a release later this year is a 4K HD edition of the new 'Elvis' biopic. Amazon already has the DVD and a 4K Blu-ray (with steelbox) available for pre-order with September 26, 2022 as the release date.
Talking about the new movie, Priscilla went to see the movie again, on Facebook she posted: "I quietly slipped into the movie theater last night. I wanted to see and feel the audience’s reaction to Baz Lurhmanns film, 'ELVIS'. All through the movie, it was so quiet, you could literally hear a pin drop. After the movie, there was clapping, teary eyes and chattering from those wanting to see it again. This morning, in looking to see how well the film did with attendance, to say the least, I was truly overwhelmed with the numbers!
I can’t stress enough how important this film is in order to keep Elvis, not only in our hearts, but also to give our friends, children, teenagers, elders and those who never got the experience to see him. As I’ve recently shared with you, this film is about his up and down relationship with his manager, Tom Parker and the behind the scene ongoings between the two of them that tore them apart. I won’t say anymore. Only that… It’s a must see!! 🌹".
The 1971 Soundboard Collection and More
The ReDempTion import record label released volume 2 of 'The 1971 Soundboard Collection and More'. This limited edition comes on red and on blue vinyl, and includes 3 vinyl records, 3 compact discs, a fold out poster and a bonus photo.
After finishing the closing show at the International Hotel (featured on this set) Elvis had a three week break until his first recording session of the year. This one day recording session in March 1971 resulted in one track being released on the Grammy-winning album 'He Touched Me' and some cuts being released in 1972 on the 'Elvis Now' and 'Elvis' (Fool) album.
The real studio work began in May and June of 1971. Following these recording sessions Elvis went back on tour again in July 1971. Sadly, no soundboard recordings of these shows have surfaced to date.
The Boston recording is the very first high-quality recording of a tour show. With a capacity of just over 15,000 Elvis had to play 7 shows in Las Vegas to reach the same amount of visitors. Obviously a show this big creates a complete different ambiance.
