The Eat to the Beat record label announced the December 3, 2026 release of an Elvis Presley CD in their 'Transmission Impossible' CD-series.
Dis two features the legendary ‘Joan Deary Tapes’, recorded between 1969 and 1972, a collection of rare Elvis Presley studio outtakes, rehearsals, alternate mixes and live recordings sourced from the personal tape archive of the late Joan Deary, a key producer and legacy manager for RCA Records. Forming a fascinating compilation of cuts rarely heard previously, they are presented here in fine studio quality.
Disc three completes this collection with a 1975 show Elvis performed in his hometown of Memphis, at the Mid-South Coliseum on 10th June 1975. This recording remains a marvellous concert tape, featured as it was as a radio broadcast, transmitted at the time across the state and available too in neighbouring territories.
