Vegas Variety Vol. 3
Soon to be released is the latest production from “Rainbow Records”. This release will feature the complete performance of Elvis Presley´s Las Vegas Dinner Show from exactly one week after his triumphant return to live appearances on July 31st, 1969.
While the Elvis-World has just finished celebrating the 40th Anniversary of
Elvis' stunning 1969 engagement in Las Vegas, Rainbow Records proudly
presents a complete concert which has been recorded during that famous season. With its 10th release Rainbow Records continues their series
titled "Vegas Variety". On the latest release "Vegas Variety - Vol.3" you
will find the August 6, 1969 Dinner Show performance. In the early 1990's
this concert was featured on a vinyl release called "The Return of the
Tigerman". Unfortunately that release had several cuts and the sound was
mediocre. The new Rainbow Records CD used a superior source to create a
fresh but warm sound and all missing parts were carefully repaired. Compared to the "famous" Opening Night 1969 CD by Fort Baxter recorded just 3 days prior to the show on this release, this new CD offers more atmosphere because the reactions of the audience are present.
There are a lot of highlights - you can't name them all. Beautiful versions
of "Memories" or "Yesterday", great renditions of "Runaway" or "Suspicious
Minds" - it's just the magic of 1969.
Even the owners of Ken Sharp's "Elvis In Vegas '69" book will find some
unreleased shots and memorabilia in the 20-pages booklet. The official album
"Elvis In Person" featured some recordings from the end of this 1969
engagement, but to hear the pure Elvis, raw and powerful you really have to
jump to the beginning of this season. So with "Vegas Variety - Vol.3" this
is your chance to enjoy a great and powerful show of Elvis Presley in 1969!

At Full Force
By popular demand! For those who missed Fort Baxter's 1998 "A HOT WINTER NIGHT IN DALLAS" СD, Audionics will release the strictly limited edition CD “AT FULL FORCE" (AUDIONICS 2010-02-2). This release will contain the dynamic December 28th, 1976 show as recorded live from the mixing desk at the Dallas Convention Center.
To achieve the best possible sound quality, Audionics worked with a 1st generation DAT copy of the original soundboard tape, that was also used for the 1998 release. The sound was restored in a renowned studio and is a significant improvement over the original release.
As you’ve come to expect from us, this new release will come in a beautifully designed package with a 16-page booklet, containing a selection of live photographs from Elvis Presley appearances in Dallas in 1956, 1971, 1976 and 1976 as well as informative liner notes. This CD is set for release in late February. Don't miss your opportunity to get the ultimate release of that legendary concert recording! Those that are a bit weary of hearing another ’76 show following the release of several substandard ’76 shows of late, are in for a real surprise. The way he attacks “C.C. Rider” sets the tone for an action-packed evening with Presley in great mood ("If I die tonight, it will only take a year to get the smile off my face"), with the highlight being the first version of “Unchained Melody” that we have – he’d started doing it the night before, but it’s still uncertain whether that 1st version exists. It’s great to hear this fantastic song in such embryo-like fashion, with Elvis still not being entirely ‘at home’ with it, exploring its possibilities and making it his own.
Once again, the next Audionics release will contain some previously unreleased soundboard material. More details very soon.
Tracklist:
01. Introduction: Also Sprach Zarathustra - 02. C. C. Rider - 03. I Got A Woman / Amen - 04. Love Me - 05. Fairytale - 06. You Gave Me A Mountain (with false start, incomplete) - 07. Jailhouse Rock (incomplete) - 08. O Sole Mio (Sherrill Nielsen) / It's Now Or Never / O Sole Mio (Sherrill Nielsen) - 09. Tryin' To Get To You - 10. Blue Suede Shoes - 11. My Way - 12. Polk Salad Annie - 13. Introductions by Elvis of Singers, Musicians - 14. Early Morning Rain (John Wilkinson) - 15. What'd I Say (James Burton) - 16. Johnny B. Goode - 17.

School Day (Joe Guercio Orchestra) - 23. Hurt (with reprise) - 24. Unchained Melody - 25. Can't Help Falling In Love - 26. Closing Vamp.

Springtime Tours '76-'77
As recorded live from the mixing desk in Johnson City, TN,
March 17th, 1976
tour opening, Charlotte, NC, March 20th, 1976 Evening show and in various locations,
March-May, 1977.
The Audionics label will
soon release the 2-CD set "Springtime
Tours '76 - '77" containing previously unreleased stereo soundboard recording of
the Johnson City, TN, March 17th, 1976 show, the original binaural version of
Charlotte, NC, March 20th, 1976 evening performance and selection of stereo
tracks recorded "on the road" from March to May, 1977.
Unfortunately both the
March 17th and March 20th,
1976, 8:30 p.m.
concerts were not captured in entirety. These tapes were recorded in binaural
with the lead-guitar almost isolated in the right channel, probably due to an
expected change of lead guitar-player. The March 17th, 1976 recording was mixed down to stereo and two
songs were added in original binaural sound as a bonus. The March 20th, 1976 8:30 p.m. show (previously released as "RUNNING
FOR PRESIDENT") is presented in excellent quality in its genuine binaural form.
These shows are fascinating to listen to, as Elvis’ band sounds totally
different thanks to the new additions Larry Londin on drums and Shane Keister on
keyboards, breathing new life into Elvis’ repertoire at the time. All 1977
tracks are stereo recordings made by Felton Jarvis, using an 8-track tape
recorder.
Among the Johnson City concert
highlights are a rare "Until It's Time For You To Go",
the first live rendition of "Hurt" and a tremendous "Tryin' To Get To You".
Unreleased 1977 highlights: "My Way" from
Chicago, May 2, "That's All Right" from Abilene, March 27th, and finally another "My
Way" - again from Abilene
- including a beautifully recited spoken part! This is a truly sensational
version, and the spoken part will no doubt give you goosebumps. A remarkable
find, and certainly one of the most interesting discoveries in recent years!
Note: some previously released 1977 tracks are included, because they are taken
from the original source and containing bits of unheard dialogues before & after
each song.
This new Audionics production will be presented in double
digipack with a 16-page booklet. All accompanying photographs were taken on
March 17-18, 1976, in Johnson City, TN, March 20, 1976 in Charlotte, NC, evening
show and on tour in March - May, 1977. This 2-CD set is expected at the end of
January. No doubt this is one of the most interesting releases in ages... Order
your copy today!

HERE COME THE STARS
The next release from Straight Arrow (SA 2009-14-02), will be the Las Vegas December 4th, 1976 Dinner show. Together with Opening night (released as "LAST VEGAS OPENING NIGHT", SA 2009-12A/B-02) it is the strongest concert of Elvis's last Las Vegas season, containing excellent performances of "Tryin' To Get To You", "America", "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Hurt" and "How Great Thou Art". An absolute highlight is a mesmerizing recitation of "What Now My Love".
This recording was previously released in 1995 on the hard-to-find CD "Love Letters From Nevada". Now the tape was restored using today's advanced technology, and the sound quality is excellent – really remarkable for an off-line source. The bonus tracks were added from an independent original tape of the same show, recorded using a cassette recorder equipped with two microphones. This alternate source, though inferior, does exhibit noticeable channel separation and natural ambience.
Just like all previous releases from this label, this new CD will come in a deluxe package with a 16-page booklet, containing a collection of photographs taken between December 3 - 7, 1976 and informative liner notes as written by a lucky fan WHO WAS THERE. This CD is set for release on December 15.

Excerpts from the sleeve notes:
"It was Saturday night and Las Vegas was buzzing, but nowhere more so than in the showroom of the Hilton Hotel. The date was December 4, 1976, and Elvis was three days into his 15-show, 11-day "Pre-Holiday Festival". Vernon and Lisa Marie were in the Presley booth near the front; the youngster had arrived for a few days' visit with her father.
He marched in place during "America the Beautiful", and got a much-deserved ovation after the finale. Once Charlie handed Elvis the lyric sheet from near the piano, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" was beautifully sung. And Elvis only used it for the always-troublesome first verse. He unexpectedly began "What Now My Love", delighting the crowd with a version softly sung at first, the middle verses spoken dramatically, and the ending done at full power. It was the highlight of the show, and perhaps the entire season.
Elvis enthused about a couple of special stars in the crowd. "They're some of the finest singers in the world, so that's why - one of the reasons I have to be good". The gentlemen in question were Engelbert Humperdinck and Roy Orbison, sitting in adjacent booths. Of the British idol, Elvis said that nobody ever sang "Please Release Me" like Humperdinck, while Orbison - in his trademark dark glasses - was "one of the finest singers of all time", and few would argue with that. Both men got warm applause and cheers.
Elvis's vocal commitment was noticeable in "Hurt"; and it got a great reception. He threw in a rapid "Hound Dog", and then said the evening wouldn't be complete if he didn't sing "How Great Thou Art". This also received an ovation. The show had been very entertaining, full of fine singing and good humour".

The Unreachable Star - Out Now
The new release from the "SR" label The Unreachable Star" is out now, and features an unreleased show from Cincinnati November 11, 1971.

In this our twelfth release, we are proud to present a great show, one of the best of the 1971 November tour. Having been imprisoned in the golden cage of Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe Elvis got the opportunity towards the end of the year to embark on his longest tour since 1957 and without doubt amongst the best of the 70’s.
This previously unreleased recording was taken from an early generation copy of the original master tape, as recorded by a member of the audience. All tracks were digitally restored for your best possible listening pleasure; the sound quality is incredibly good considering the early Tour.

Last Stop in Mobile
Soon to be released is the latest production from “Rainbow Records”. This release will feature the complete performance of Elvis Presley´s very last concert in Mobile, Alabama - recorded June 2nd, 1977.
There were several reasons why this show was chosen for a release. First of all – it had to be unreleased. Second, the show should contain some interesting, unusual material, maybe a rare version of a seldom performed song? Another important aspect was to find a tape that has a listenable, decent sound quality for an audience recording. This is why we chose Elvis´ final visit in the state of Alabama as our newest cd project.
Although Elvis was clearly not in best shape regarding his physical appearance his voice was strong and powerful as always on this closing show of his second to last concert tour. “An American Trilogy” which Elvis included to his setlist rather surprisingly or the performance of “You Gave Me A Mountain”, “Help Me” and “Hurt” prove that his spirit and feeling for many of his songs was still there. All in all you will get a nearly perfect overview of what Elvis was able to deliver to his audience on June 2nd, 1977.
Don’t miss this release. You will get another classy CD from Rainbow Records. By the way: Needless to say that its booklet will feature great liner notes with a lot of information regarding the event on 20 pages in full colour!
