Three new import releases were announced with July 4, 2025 as the release date: 'Hang Loose - Stage Rehearsals and More', 'And I Love You So' and 'January 26 1974 Opening Show - Elvis As Recorded At The Las Vegas Hilton'.
Publicity for 'Hang Loose' - Stage Rehearsals and More' stated: This is an updated re-release of the ‘Hang Loose’ album (released in 1991 on the Bilko label) with the August 10 1970 rehearsal as originally recorded but now in much better sound compared to earlier releases!
This rehearsal was officially released with reconstructed intro's from live performances of the same songs... Parts of the original recordings being cut, 2 versions of "Polk Salad Annie" were edited and spliced to one version, and an incomplete recording of "I've Lost You" was not used at all. So the original "Hang Loose" album is still relevant. We thought it was time to release an updated version of this album with remastered sound! Not only the rehearsals are newly remastered but also the live recordings of "Folsom Prison Blues" and "I Walk The Line" from the August 14 1970 midnight show.
We've added a perfect live version of "Oh Happy Day' from the same show, and original radio spots for the movie "That's The Way It Is'. So Hang Loose and enjoy!
