Flaming Phoenix Productions will release soon their first CD simply titled Opening Night 1971. This album features the opening show of Elvis' fourth appearance in Las Vegas as recorded from the soundboard on January 26, 1971. For the first time ever all the recordings from this show are assembled together on one CD, including some previously unreleased performances such as 'Johnny B. Goode' and 'The Wonder Of You'.

This set will be presented in a digipack.

The 1971 recordings from the mixing desk are scarce and less documented than any other year between 1969 and 1977. Here's your chance to acquire one of those rare moments with The King!
