January 23 - The King In Motown City (Updated)

Set for release from the E.P. Collector import record label is a new CD titled 'The King In Motown City featuring the April 22, 1977 performance as recordex from the audience in Detroit. 

Publicity stated: The E.P. Collector Label is back this Year with another unique release of Elvis show in Detroit, April 23, 1977. The CD is titled The King In Motown City. 

Yes, it was the very last show that Elvis played in Detroit, primarily known as the center of the automobile industry, where three major car manufacturers operate - Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, hence the nickname Motown ("motor city").

The April 22nd, 1977 concert was previously released in 2006 on the extremely poor sounding CD 'The King Has Landed', (actually one of worst sounding Elvis CDs ever) with several tracks being incomplete. This show was never available in solid, listenable sound - until now! So throw your old CD into garbage can and enjoy 'The King In Motown City!' 

The new tape was obtained from an American fan and has been carefully restored and mastered in January 2024, with a focus on preserving the integrity of the original recording. Hence, some minor hiss may be present; we felt it more important to keep the high frequencies and natural ambience of the original recording for historic reasons. The sound is very good for an off line recording - ask your CD dealer for audio samples! As usual the CD is packaged in a nicely designed digipack with local press review. All images used for the artwork were taken during April 1977 tour including real Detroit photos.
