The Rick Rennie tapes - fantastic !

Why..Dick..can you enlighten me..?
She sold tapes...which she actually didn`t have..?.
... ....

In short:
When Rick died she had big financial problems, I called her
and offered to help selling his collection through Elvisbay.
So his complete collection was presented on the website and
people could make an offer for the items they wanted. If an offer
was reasonable it was forwarded to her and she could close the deal.
Well, sometimes she seemed to forget she had to send the (correct)
items aswell. It was a very unpleasant experience.

I mean that some of the releases we have are from early generation copies.
For example, Shining In Portland comes from the first generation copy because Rick lost the master tape. Before that he made copies of course.
On Double Dynamite both 1970 Aug. 19. D/S & M/S come from the first generation copies,too,as the master tapes have been lost.

How do you know that? Have you been involved in releasing this issues?

That are almost Rennies words. You can read that in some liner notes of a bootleg (don't know which one at the moment) where Rick Rennie is cited.

Rick's recollections make up the liner notes for "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" import. Good stuff.

Hi,

about "The Perfect Gift", the sound is taken from "Live In Lake Tahoe" but the remastering was done in the same way as the FTD "New Year Eve" was done so the final recording is marred with a lot of clipped parts and "pops". Must be avoied...

A question for you Cisco is the sound of "Live In Lake Tahoe" the same as on "The Man In White Vol4" ? On Elvis on CD the 2003 pressing is worse noted.

See You

I have to pass this question over since I only have The Man In White..I am not responsible for these old sound rates..I just made the comments for the shows.

That's not true. The source was a different and much better sounding one than the old "Live In Lake Tahoe"-CD. Your assessment is so wrong that one can think that you didn't have heard the CD at all.

The sound on "The Man In White Vol.4" is on par with "The Perfect Gift". There's not so much difference between them - soundwise. The main difference was, that "The Man In White Vol.4" was a silver-pressed CD where the other one was a CDR.

Hi,

i own "The Perfect Gift" and "The Man In White", but you are right i don't own the "Live In Lake Tahoe" CD.
And yes i made a mistake, i was thinking of "The Man In White", not "Live In Lake Tahoe".

Wasn't "The Perfect Gift" released after the "TMIW 4" ?

See You

That's no problem. Everything else would have made me wonder .
As far as I remember they were released at the same time.

Not sure, but I think *the perfect gift* was out a few months earlier

Correct.

Btw...good ol Rennie also knew how to "doctor" shows...

The end of From Vegas To Macon (August 21, 1970 DS)...from 4:43 of Suspicious Minds onwards is taken from the MS the same day ..as released on You`ve Lost That Lovin Feeling...
