Elvis Presley In Person: Bloch Arena, Pearl Harbor - The Double Album

All known recordings from and related to the benefit concert from March 25th, 1961 on one great new cd release. Newly remastered, unedited and complete! We wanted to present this concert in the best possible sound and as originally recorded, so including the accasionally microphone feedback, which was part of the show (infact, Elvis reacts on this). And also as complete as possible, so including the complete radio broadcast 'Elvis Salutes The USS Arizona', the complete press conference and interviews, Elvis' arrival, and also the original released press conference excerpt as released on the album 'A Legendary Performer' and the 6 minutes long version of 'Hound Dog' as originally released for the very first time on the 1979 Pearl Harbor bootleg from Golden Archives.

Limited edition release with a 12 pages booklet with photos and recording information.

Hound Dog auf der Bootleg LP "Elvis' 1961 Hawaii Benefit Concert" ist künstlich verlängert. Außerdem sind Rückkopplungen im hohen Frequenzbereich zu hören, die RCA später auf "Elvis Aron Presley" eliminieren konnte. Auch der etwas blecherne Sound der LP wurde verbessert.

Etwas merkwürdig also, dass man genau die Fehler/Schwachpunkte der LP nun als eine Besonderheit hervorhebt. Endlich dürfen wir die Rückkopplungen wieder hören    . Das einzig besondere an der LP war das wunderschöne Cover und Artwork.

Ansonsten wieder alles zusammengesammelt, MRS "Such A Night" ist im Grunde, bis auf die Tom Moffatt Interviews, identisch.

Nö, nö, nö !

Hier schlagen Euro 26.- zu Buche.
