Press info:
Straight Arrow is pleased to bring you a new double CD dedicated to Elvis'
August/ September '74 season. This recording was taken directly from a recently
found new source, a 1st generation copy of an original audience-recorded
mastertape, never before in circulation! This fascinating, previously unreleased
concert was never before available in such excellent sound quality!
The penultimate show in Elvis' August/September '74 season was a memorable
occasion, especially for British and European fans in attendance. Certain issues
in Elvis' personal life influenced what took place on stage at that Labor Day
performance.
The set list included several songs unique to this season: "It's Midnight", "Big
Boss Man" and "If You Talk In Your Sleep", the latter with a karate demo midway.
His song selection demonstrated his expertise in a great variety of musical
genres: the sexy 'torch' styling of "Fever"; the sing-a-long "The Wonder Of
You"; the poignancy of "You Gave Me A Mountain"; and the feel-good "If You Love
Me Let Me Know" and "Let Me Be There". Most of all, perhaps, Elvis touched first
base musically with the stirring "How Great Thou Art".
In between songs, he related stories ranging from the amusing to serious topics
- the circumstances surrounding his divorce and the overblown stories in the
movie magazines. Along the way, Elvis' emotions ranged from undisguised anger
(the drug stories) to tenderness - introducing Priscilla and their six-year old
daughter Lisa Marie. Usually a private person, it was the presence of his
ex-wife that prompted Elvis to speak about his divorce, while making it clear
that he and Priscilla were still close.
The liner notes are written by an English fan, who was there. This new release
will be presented in a beautiful 4-panel double digipak that includes rare
photos taken in Las Vegas in August/September 1974. It’s a new STRAIGHT ARROW so
you know what to expect!
