Straight Arrow is continuing their collector's series of 2 shows from one evening, released in a single package with Amore, Elvis! containing the Saturday, March 29, 1975 Dinner and Midnight Shows, Las Vegas Hilton, Las Vegas, NV. Elvis returned to Nevada in very good form when compared to his final shows of 1974. He included several cuts from soon-to-be-released 'Today' album rather than some of his usual oldies. Elvis' shows were shorter than his previous Vegas visit in August and September because he kept banter to a minimum.

On this collection there are worthy performances of 'And I Love You So', 'It's Midnight', 'Big Boss Man', 'Burning Love' and the powerful 'My Boy'. There are also some rarities, like a one-liner of 'Rip It Up', 'Tiger Man' not performed as a medley with 'Mystery Train', and 'Hawaiian Wedding Song' sung exclusively by Sherrill Nielsen.

As fans have come to expect, the tapes are of very good quality, sourced from early generation copies of original audience recorded cassettes recorded by the same fan. The double digipak contains liner notes and is filled with photos from the March-April 1975 engagement. As usual, these recordings have been carefully engineered to be presented in the best possible sound.

The Complete Louisiana Hayride Archives 1954-1956 CD From MRS : CD / 100 page book

The MRS / JAT Productions release of The Complete Louisiana Hayride Archives 1954-1956 CD is a dream come true but I can't as there was no anticipation something like this would ever be released. For years now we have had the basic el cheapo compilation of the basic tracks but now we have a full CD with a running time of over 75 minutes that gives a very good overview of Elvis in concert in the 1950s. This CD is presented exactly the same as the MRS releases Off Duty With Private Presley Book Deluxe CD set, Tupelo Welcomes Home Elvis Presley Deluxe CD set and Such A Night in Pearl Harbor CD and 100 page Book set.

Video Preview: Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD + 16 page booklet. Never before have we seen an Elvis concert from the 50's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered Unreleased Film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don’t Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. This is an excellent release no fan should be without it. The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people.
