SERIE CD - ELVIS: STAGE HIGHLIGHTS & RARITIES VOL. 4 - 5 - 6

Lo scorso Giugno, l'etichetta Elvis Concert Fan aveva annunciato la pubblicazione dei primi 3 CD della serie "ELVIS - Stage Highlights and Rarities".
Ora è pronta la pubblicazione dei volumi 4, 5 e 6, in cui si ascoltano canzoni provenienti dagli spettacoli a Las Vegas, a Lake Tahoe ed in altri luoghi in cui Elvis Presley si è esibito nel corso degli anni '70.
In particolare, da segnalare:
- VOLUME 4: "Bosom Of Abraham / You Better Run" dal concerto del 19 Luglio 1975; l'intera versione di "Also Sprach..." in mezzo al concerto, una versione lunga di "Polk Salad Annie";
- VOLUME 5: quattro versioni di "Happy Birthday", Elvis canta una versione completa di "Can't Help Falling In Love" subito dopo "See See Rider" e se ne va dal palco...ma è uno scherzo! David Briggs canta "Lady Madonna" e si sente Elvis in sottofondo e molto altro, per un totale di 97 canzoni suddivise in 3 CD.
