The SR import record label announced the release of the LP 'Burning at Both Ends'.
Publicity stated: Coming early March 2026 is the double LP 'Burning At Both Ends'. This is the second step of an ambitious project aimed at highlighting Elvis' rock side in the 1970s. For this second step, we are proud to present the most successful rocking single in the seventies: 'Burning Love'.
The new SR will feature the first three LP sides with the complete closing show of the April and May 1975 tour, surely one of the best of the year, recorded at Murfreesboro, TN, on May 07, 1975, while the fourth side is dedicated to an analysis of the song 'Burning Love', with its development first explored in the studio and then in concert.
The first three sides of the vinyl present a Soundboarding recording of the Murfreesboro show, which was previously released on CD, but this is the first time on vinyl format, and it has been remastered from the analog mono source, which will present an incredibly superior sound. The last side of the vinyl allows the listener to enjoy an incredible sound while exploring the evolution of the song. The glossy gatefold will be accompanied by a bonus 30x30 cm glossy photo. A Must-have!
The SR intends to present Elvis at the peak of his career. Elvis’ 'Burning Love' as recorded in March 1972, combined with the Murfreesboro May 1975 show, is undoubtedly the best moment of both years, presenting him at the top of his game, delivering a great studio session and a great show. The performance presents Elvis with a renovated Rocker attitude. Likewise, the recording is of good quality, with a clear, clean sound and well-defined instruments. But importantly, this is the only complete soundboard of the tour.
The April and May concert presents us with a rediscovered Elvis who, although overweight, faces the stage with a newfound rock attitude. We can call the 'Burning Love Tour', because Elvis performed the song in almost all 18 shows. The song was recorded in March 1972. The song was performed twice during the April 1972 tour and was the highlight of the November 1972 tour. It then disappeared after the Aloha TV special. 1975 represents the song's comeback, and together with Elvis’s rocker side, it will be performed until April 1976.
The show is great and now consists of a solid collection, although Elvis dropped some of the recently recorded songs. The range of Elvis’ performance is still extensive, with his rocking side performed in the show, including the 1972 'Burning Love', the new 'T.R.O.U.B.L.E' without forgetting the now classic, and highly challenging vocal 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', which, without doubt, represents the highlight of the show.
This new SR Special Product will be housed in a Deluxe 300-gram sleeve that includes the double 150-gram vinyl, also containing a bonus card.
To have a special collector’s item, the 300 copies will be presented on red colored vinyl. All the copies will come with glossy Stickers, hand-numbered and individually sealed.
