Aloha From Hawaii (Deluxe Edition) coming to streaming services August 11th

For closing / insertation songs are selected also:
Sand Castles – even shots were filmed on 10 january 1973 (Queen’s Surf Pit);
Tender feeling – even shots were filmed on 10 january 1973 (Botanical Garden).
However the songs were not used. I doubt these tracks are included in this new release.

According to Keith Flynn's excellent website you can read that the Aloha rehearsal concert mix is a new mix.
Excellent news, and it is definitive to decide to buy the new release from Sony.
It becomes very attractive. Also in my opinion there are a few specific songs where Elvis is more successful in the rehearsal show.

fantastic news the reheasal show will have a fresh new sound mix it's a really great show

Little off topic but does anyone know what is the best source for the Japanese Aloha tape and are we any closer to someone having the complete airing over the years there has been multiple stories and versions of this so i'm keen to see what is the best source ?

Based on the official news release all the audio appears to have been remixed by MRS. Looks like the Blu-ray is sourced from the 2006 DVD set which makes a lot of sense. Looking forward to this one, I bet the rehearsal show will sound stunning. Anyone remembers the first (disastrous) release of the rehearsal show back in 1988 ("The Alternate Aloha")?

The 50th anniversary edition of Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite is produced by Ernst Jørgensen and newly mixed by Grammy® Award-winning recording engineer Matt-Ross Spang. The set includes the original concert, rehearsal show and unique after-show recordings and rehearsals including "Blue Hawaii," "Hawaiian Wedding Song," "No More" and "Early Morning Rain."

This information has been available since the Legacy set was first announced and does not confirm or deny whether the rehearsal show was remixed... so nothing new... it speaks to "Aloha from Hawaii Via Satellite". Also, the DVD set was from 2004.

I hope Keith is right... but I'm reserving judgement.

Yes I hope he is just not going by the press release. IMHO if the rehearsal is remixed and the dvd has been improved to bluray or close you would think the powers that be would make a big deal about it and make sure everyone knows about it. One line from a press release that can be interpreted in different ways does not suffice.

From Keith Flynn’s site regarding the January 12 dress rehearsal show:

“This complete concert, remixed from scratch, can be found on the RCA Legacy 3xCD and BluRay set Aloha From Hawaii via Satellite - Deluxe Edition.”

I’d call that a confirmation.

I’m pretty sure he has a communication line to Ernst.
He is a reliable source with credibility. his website is the session Bible for the Elvis world.

We should get a sound sample in the new future like we already have of SB from the main show. Then we will know one way or the other.

[ORION]

I am not one to question Keith's knowledge of all things recorded by Elvis, but here's what the Graceland store has to say about the set:
Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite was an Elvis Presley concert that originally took place in Honolulu and was broadcast live via satellite to audiences around the world in 1973. The resulting live album became a #1 album for Elvis, and the TV transmission became the television event of the year worldwide. This 3CD + Blu-ray 50th anniversary package contains: CD 1 - newly remixed version of the original full-length TV broadcast concert,
CD 2 - Rehearsal show, CD 3 - Complete after-show bonus song performances, and Blu-ray - Elvis Aloha from Hawaii concert + rehearsal concert + bonus songs.

I find it odd that it does specify that the first Disc is "newly remixed" but doesn't indicate that the rehearsal show has been re-mixed.. I also am quite surprised to see the SONY set is $10.00 cheaper than the FTD and it includes a Blu-ray.

The Col. would be quite pleased at the money being made by those who will yet again purchase this material.

Although if anyone hasn't purchased the new Ross-Spang re-mix of the Broadcast show, I HIGHLY recommend it. It's never sounded better IMO.

[L Ray]

But price has nothing to do with it. FTD always cost more than Sony.

[ORION]

FTD always cost more than Sony.

That's true, but for it to be cheaper AND include a possible re-mix of the rehearsal show AND a Blu=ray of the show would be a serious rip-off of those who have supported FTD..

If that's true then Keith's information should be correct...
I'm quite familiar with Keith's tremendous work regarding his website and I visit it often.

At least we are getting the vinyl with the new Re-mix

It's a slap in the face by FTD, the FTD versio should also have been a simpler Classic album.

It will be considerably more painful if the rehearsal show turns out to be... well you know...

Bet Sony is going to release the FTD 2023 MSG nest year or for Christmas

In the presentation of the double LP, they say :

double lp including highlights from the Aloha box set.

What does that mean ? Will we be entitled to a mix of the two concerts as he did with the LEGACY release of the double lp "Elvis on tour" with a mix of the 4 concerts on 2 lp. Personally, I hope not but nothing is indicated.

Who is saying that the double lp includes highlights from the Aloha box set.

The Sony marketing blurb states "The 50th anniversary edition of Elvis Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite — newly remixed and remastered for the occasion — will be available in a 3CD + Blu-ray combined package as well as in 2LP and digital configurations".

I cannot see any mention of it being highlights. The track listing is the same as the original.
