First Aloha Review
A first short review was posted on the FECC site by Peter Lewry.
He wrote: The original album is the same as on the FTD and the rehearsal show is remixed/remastered and sounds really good. Bonus material, the after-show recordings, are as on the FTD release.
Nice to have both concerts and the after-show recordings on one disc but to my ears and eyes the blu-ray is the same as the DVD and there is no improvement.
Packaging/booklet is excellent and in my opinion better than the FTD release. And for those who asked, the CDs slot in from the top as on the FTD and are easy to remove.
I wonder what the reasoning was for releasing this material on both FTD and Legacy and if I had to pick one it would be this new release … and it is a lot cheaper.

Elvis: El Hombre Y El Mito
Redbook published the 224-page paperback 'Elvis: El Hombre Y El Mito' by Manuel López Poy.
Among the numerous biographies dedicated to the figure of Elvis Presley, this one stands out especially for its ability to take us back to the origins of the Tupelo genius, building a book that circulates in parallel between the chronological succession of an exciting life – with numerous data, anecdotes and phrases of the protagonist – and the portrait of a musical genre in which blues, country and rock come together.
The result is known to all: the greatest revolution in the world of music and a cultural icon of the first order.
