Two new releases from Paradise Road Records:
The publicity states.. 'I'm Leavin' Vol 1 & 2 contain live audience recordings from August 9 - 16, 1971 - Elvis live at the International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. These 2 albums contains many rarities and show highlights including 'That's All Right' with break, 'I Need Your Lovin'' (excerpt), a full version of 'Memphis Tennessee', 'Jailhouse Rock', Rip It Up (excerpt), 'Trying To Get To You', 'Help Me Make It Through The Night', 'I Can't Stop Loving You', great live versions from 'I'm Leavin' and 'The Impossible Dream', and many many others...
Till now we have no soundboards from this season so these audience recordings are the only recordings we have... 'I'm Leavin' - Vols 1 & 2 represents the first week of this season, including recordings from opening night (for the first time on cd) but also from August 10 (dinner and MS), August 11 (dinner show), August 12 (midnight show), August 14 (midnight show) and August 16 (midnight show). All recordings remastered.
The artwork is in the style of the 1971 single 'I'm Leavin', including an 8 pages booklet!
And an ultra limited edition.
These are AUDIENCE RECORDINGS and have been previously released - most have terrible quality sound. Buyer Beware. Previous releases include 'Opening Night In Vegas', 'I Don't Wanna Sing These Songs' (Aug 12 MS), 'Summer In Sin City' (Aug 14 MS), 'Trying To Get To Memphis' (Aug 16 MS)
