The 1960 home demos presented on this CD are in stereo (with the exception of track 22). These recordings were recorded with two microphones.
You'll Never Walk Alone is an audience recording - on this CD in the best possible sound!
The 1977 live recordings all recorded from soundboard and once again in the best sound available!
The authenticity of the WHBQ broadcast is questionable but it's a very nice addition to this CD. Sun Studios sold this recording on cassettes in the late '80s. Also a very nice addition are the 3 overdubbed tracks from the Blue Suede Shoes ballet.
Includes an 8-page booklet with recording information and photos.
