Publicity stated: 'The Joan Deary Tapes - Volume 1' offers some brand new content obtained a couple years ago from Joan Deary's personal collection after carefully digitizing these tapes we are now able to share something special.
The CD offers unique content, with different mixes and some outtakes that have never been issued before and is the start of a brand new CD series. Listen out for the funky and different way Elvis sings the previously unissued take 7 of ‘If You Don't Come Back’ – or a brand new outtake of the ‘Nothingville - Guitar Man’ medley from the '68 Comeback Special.
Some very different mixes like 'Why Me Lord' from the infamous 'Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis' and a stunning 'Amazing Grace' also can be heard here among other glorious sounding tracks like live versions of 'Release Me' and 'America The Beautiful'.
Every track comes in great sound quality and has been remastered for optimal listening pleasure and the digipack is filled with liner notes, information and brand new unpublished photos.
We hope you enjoy this first volume! Because volume 2 is not far off!
