Also released on "Green Green Grass Of Home" and "By Special Request" (20.8.75 DS) and "Loving You" (19.8.1975 DS). The sound on this two CD set has been remarkably improved.

Announcement: "(Cancelled) The Request Box" will be a double CD featuring the rare recording of Elvis' August 19th & 20th 1975 performances in Las Vegas, where although in poor health Elvis introduced the positive idea of a Request Box for audience song choices.
The season was cancelled after only 5 performances.
From the sensational combination of the two labels Southern Comfort and Audionics, the release date is set for the end of February. 
 

 Concert:   See comments for "Green Green Grass Of Home" (August 20) and "Loving You" (August 19).
