Description

MRS will release a 3CD Deluxe titled ‘LAS VEGAS INTERNATIONAL PRESENTS ELVIS – THE FIRST ENGAGEMENTS 1969-70’ on 7th May 2021.

 

This three CD set contains a selection of captivating performances drawn from Elvis’ first two engagements at the Las Vegas International Hotel in August 1969 and January thru February 1970.

 

For the first time ever, these soundboard recordings (formerly in mono) have been remastered, carefully restored, and remixed to true stereo with outstanding expertise using the most sophisticated technologies to achieve the best possible sound. This technology is not available to the major record label industries and the tracks have NOT been electronically processed and nothing has been added to make these tracks to true stereo. The accompanying 40-page booklet includes rare photographs and memorabilia taken during these engagements along with introductory notes.

 

A sample sound showing true stereo from the 3 shows can be downloaded on the link here.
