After hearing The 8th Wonder Of The World CD from Venus we can now tell you that indeed the sound quality is certainly better, even more clear than Madison’s outing and the packaging is much better. Te unique aspect of this concert in the huge Houston Astrodome is this that it is without an orchestra. So it's pure Elvis with his band. taken from a first generation sources claimed!!!! So it's pure Elvis with his band.

The unique aspect of this concert in the huge Houston Astrodome is this that it is without an orchestra.

As the audience is far away from the stage it is hardly audible and this makes the show almost sound like a rehearsal. Probably because of this simple setting the oldies like Trying to Get to You and Johnny B. Goode are among the best tracks of the show. The instrumental break in Polk Salad Annie makes you almost wish Elvis never used an orchestra, the TCB Band is is all Elvis needed'. [George Harrison is on record saying the same thing!!!] [Perhaps many would argue with this and I for one like Elvis' live recordings as they are but it sure makes for an interesting change!!!!] So there you have it, excellent quality, great packaging.

Out now from Venus is the March 3, 1974 Houston show on CD, titled The 8th Wonder Of The World, taken from a first generation source. Unlike other labels, who pretend to have found new sources, Venus has always lived up to their promises and released top notch quality.

This time Venus promises you again a vast improvement in sound and you will again be very happy with it.

Prepare yourself for a very special, great sounding show and get ready for: The 8th Wonder Of The World.

Venus' next release is 'Unedited Masters Nashville 1971'.

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.
