Country Hero in Vegas! : 12" Vinyl LP, CD and 7" Vinyl EP release

Elvis' performance on these early season nights is superb as he is still performing to the best of his ability. Although he delivers short shows they are delivered in a very intense, crisp and fresh manner that cannot be denied. Elvis was on stage to have fun and demonstrated this during the older, classic numbers, but songs such as Polk Salad Annie, You've Lost That Loving Feeling and Sweet Caroline never sounded better. The season will be remembered for the introduction of the new opening composition 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' which although written by Richard Strauss in 1894 was more closely associated with the Stanley Kubrick film '2001 A Space Odyssey', a recent cinema release. As we now know this thunderous opening would be used until the final concert Elvis performed. The season will also be remembered for the beautiful new closing number The Impossible Dream which Elvis sang with power and feeling, proof that Elvis continued to grow as a performer.

The LP is made to 140 Vinyl Gram quality and is a Limited Hand Numbered 500 Copies. It comes with a three fold 300 gram high quality GLOSSY sleeve with both sides printed, giving a unique view. The sleeve is accompanied by relevant liner notes and with many photographs of the Elvis NOW suit from the season.

This vinyl will include a bonus CD and 7" vinyl EP. In the bonus CD you have the possibility to listen the complete concert + a selection of 16 songs (32 min.) soundboard recording, coming for the previous four days shows. From the opening night January 26 you can listen the evolution of Elvis' performance during the begin of the season, we practically included all the songs performed in the January 30 DS. In January RCA released what is without doubt the best Elvis album of the 1970's, Elvis Country. In this season of Elvis performed three songs from the album. From here the EP idea came to use the three songs performed to create a special 'Elvis Country EP'. The EP comes with four songs and two fold sleeve both printed.
