MRS: Elvis Presley On Fire in Toledo - 1956

[LSP-4445]

Enjoy!!!

Thanks
Not something I can enjoy due to poor sound and the talking over
the Elvis performance but if others enjoys it then great

Hopefully RCA will release this soon as well.

RCA? Sony would need a project to attach it to. As it stands, it would not be worth their while or investment, and certainly not profitable.

[Lee Wood]

So, more theft from MRS. Classy.

WOW - yet more MRS material copied from old RCA / FTD releases, it beggars belief..

Haha. Good point. How dare they?

[yellowstone]

Ernst always stated, that he knows of some 50s concert recordings which he didn't want to obtain because the asking price is too high for what it is .. another girl-screaming distorted show.
I was always shocked to hear that from him. So, I'm very excited about that 'new' find.

I just finished listening to it
The audio programmer has gone over the top processing the tape which is a shame.

Amateur hour from the shady grey market label.

You get what you pay for.

does it run at the correct speed?

[vinelvis]

Fabulous to hear and despite talking over the performances heartbreak hotel and long tall Sally sound very strong!
Marvellous to hear!

I haven't had the chance to listen to the recording so I don't know how bad it is, but maybe if the talking is really distracting, it can be removed with ai?

[Alexander]

Judging from the sound snippets I heard it is a great recording and I am glad someone releases this monumental audio, I really do not care whether it is SONY/ FTD or MRS.

I think you'll find it was actually May 30 2016 when it was aired, and the link to it is still on my web site.

The SoundCloud link I found, shared and referred to was posted in 2019. It is not on your website.

It's the entire 90th anniversary celebration by WOWO Radio from 2016:

At some point in 2019 WOWO uploaded it there.

Makes me wish the disc jockey would shut up.

I'm sure it has been done elsewhere, and hopefully we'll get to hear it soon.

As for me, I prefer original historical recording as it was recorded.

I think this "Long Tall Sally" rendition is the most raw and powerful one we now have.

It's good I still have snippets of unppublished recordings and information of it's owners, I've found during my research, at my disposal.

But I will be holding it only for me and trusted circle. Being overly sharing and empathetic doesn't do good for me.

[ElSandro68]

If many of you wish, I might upload it later.

That would be great !!

I know it's been a hard lesson, but it shows that oversharing can lead to problems like this.

Thanks for everything you have done and for sharing this with everyone.

As much as I've supported MRS in the past, I say stay away from this one.

Well, he's probably dead now because it's been 68 yea...


Quit it, John!

Definitely should be an official, or at the very least, an FTD release. Rhetorically, why was the official label slow to pounce? Food for thought.

I'm not sure that's the case. There's no reason why Sony couldn't have issued it as a download/streaming EP. It's another sign that the Elvis team at Sony are seemingly not working within the market of 2024. With streaming and downloads, there is no need to attach something like this to a full-length project. Digital EPs are not the norm, but they're not all that rare either.

Exactly.

Who wants this compared to releasing something recorded 20 years later?

MRS dropped the album today, I listened to it via QOBUZ. It's pretty short and the audio quality is not too great, so I certainly won't sit down and listen to it all that much. Nevertheless it's great to get new stuff after almost seven decades. The interview shows a witty, already trained Elvis. At this point he obviously knew how to talk to the press. The impressions of the DJ are not all that disturbing, it's nice to get some impressions like the singer taking off his tie and stuff like that. "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Long Tall Sally" are performed straight and very well. "Don't Be Cruel" is played slower than on the record, with some kind of clap-along rhythm. The audience is completely in awe and goes bananas over whatever Elvis does. ELVIS PRESLEY - ON FIRE IN TOLEDO 1956 certainly isn't the "release of the year", but it gives a nice impression of the hype the singer was causing at the time.
