4 panel digipak
Announcement (July 2017):
Expected soon from the E. P. Collector label is another exciting new release
titled 'Everybody Let's Rock' (label E. P. Collector, catalogue number EPC
2017-11)
Recorded live from the audience in Las Vegas, NV, August 5th, 1972, D/S and M/S,
this 2CD-set is subtitled 'From Japan With Love Vol. 3' because it was recorded
by a member of a Japanese fan club.
The Las Vegas, August 5th, 1972 Dinner show was first released in 2008 on the CD
'Directly From The 1972 Elvis Summer Festival'. This earlier CD was taken from
different, inferior source tape. Our new recording is of much better sound
quality. The Las Vegas, August 5th, 1972 Midnight show is previously unreleased.
There is no need to discuss the fact that ALL shows from August/September 1972
are excellent! Natural highlights are especially ballads like 'What Now My
Love', ''An American Trilogy', 'My Way' or 'For The Good Times' and rock’n’rolls
like 'A Big Hunk O’Love' or 'Johnny B. Goode' One song from Midnight show stands
out: a cool, one-off of 'Jailhouse Rock'! Needless to say that this is a rarity
for 1972, and what a great version it is too - it easily beats all other 70's
versions.
Both concerts are taken from a recently found first generation copies of
original audience recorded cassette tapes. They were never before available in
listenable sound, until now! You may ask your supplier for samples.
This CD is packaged in a nicely designed double digipak with great collection of
quality images taken in August 1972.
If you enjoyed some of our other releases such as 'Rock & Soul… And Some Mighty
Fine Rock’n’Roll' and 'The Make The World Go Away', then you sure to enjoy our
latest release.
As with all our releases, this CD is a labour of love and hope you enjoy it. We
are planning another CD taken from those 'Japanese' tapes. So stay tuned!
