RETROSPECTIVE ELVIS'69 - SELECTED RECORDINGS

 

Selected Recordings celebrates the 55th anniversary of Elvis' legendary recordings at the American Sound Studio in Memphis, Tennessee plus other recordings from that magical year of 1969. This is the perfect addition to the official CD releases such as the fantastic CD box 'American Sound 1969'.

 

This collection is a collection of recordings that have been released over the years on dozens of import CDs and LPs. The collection also contains recordings that have never before been released on CD, as well as some unreleased recordings! Some outtakes that have already been officially released on, for example, 'American Sound 1969' can now be heard in the uncut version. Ofcourse, we used the very best sources for these recordings.

 

Never before has such an extensive and diverse collection from 1969 been brought together, including many other (unique) recordings in addition to the many alternative recordings from the American Sound Studio.

 

Each CD is beautifully designed and comes with an 8-page CD booklet.

 

In addition to the official releases, this is the ultimate alternate Elvis 1969 collection!

 

This one-off edition cd's are very limited so don't miss it.

Update November 14, 2024

MUSIC FROM THE MGM MOTION PICTURE “JAILHOUSE ROCK”

 

Now available is the fourth release on the POPCORN label. This amazing double album is completely dedicated to the JAILHOUSE ROCK sessions. These sessions took place in April & May of 1957, at STUDIO B at the Radio Recorders Studio in Hollywood California. Some overdubs & scoring sessions took place at the MGM soundstage.

 

The sessions resulted in 6 master recordings beside some alternate movie versions. The movie premiered October 17th 1957 at the Loews Theatre In Memphis Tennessee. The title song ‘Jailhouse Rock’ was released on 45RPM (with ‘Treat Me Nice’ on side B) and topped the charts for 7 weeks. It reached the gold status but the R.I.A.A did not started their award program until 1958. According to the Billboard magazine the later released ‘Extended Play’ was the best selling EP of 1958.

 

Now you can enjoy highlights from these recording sessions on this deluxe double album. All of the takes are fully remastered and sound better then ever. The movie versions are speed corrected and are presented in their original mono sound. 

 

This very limited high quality 180 grams vinyl editon is available in CLEAR & PURPLE vinyl.

 

All the tracks are also available on the 2 bonus cd’s (in cardboard sleeves) that are added to this package.

 

For the first time the two cd’s are also available seperate (in ultra limited quantity) in a deluxe digipack. This is a very limited edition double cd release!

the Promotional “PRE-OPENING NIGHT VIP BOX SET

 

Because it is our very first vinyl release, we wanted to make something spectacular for the collectors, it is really limited and there will be NO reprints. We focus on the content and quality. But because it is special, we will use besides the 375 ultra clear black vinyl also two symbolic colors of the international hotel. These are limited to 600 sets. Everything is numbered with holographic seals.

this VIP promotional box is also intended as promotion for our book “ELVIS – BY INVITATION ONLY”.

 

Everything for this box set was custom made using as much as possible the same material as was used in 1969. And believe us they were not stingy. Quality all over. This made the production more expensive than a regular release. It also shows the high standard the International Hotel stood for in 1969.

Ooh Las Vegas

COMING SOON! ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL FOR EVERY ELVIS FAN! Millbranch Music is back with a very strong CD and DVD combo containing unreleased “Soundbooth” Audio and Video (in unbelievable, simply stunning quality)! And we are completely focused on Elvis´ first “After Aloha from Hawaii” Las Vegas engagement in early 1973!

“Ooh Las Vegas” is a CD and a DVD in a deluxe 2-panel Digi-Pack: We are delighted to be able to present a completely new show on CD (February 11th, 1973 - Midnight Show)! Recorded by UK´s Super-Fan Rex Martin, we are able to fill another hole in all our collections of Elvis´ Las Vegas concert legacy! And we are lucky for sure, since this recording – taken from the original cassette tape - presents an absolutely complete show in stunning “Soundbooth” quality. Starting with music from Joe Guercio´s Orchestra about half a minute before the “Also Sprach Zarthustra” Intro begins, you can even hear a couple of female voices greeting Rex Martin (and a little bit of conversation between them). He clearly had already built up and running his recording devices (both Audio and Video). Then there is the complete show until the very end, when you hear the announcer talk about the Souvenir stand in the lobby. It doesn´t get much better!
The DVD presents Millbranch´s typical premium quality approach. You´ll get more than 90 minutes of Video material, also including a great documentary about Elvis´ early 1973 appearances, with both information and entertainment. But most of all you will get…… unreleased Video! See extremely rare footage in stunning quality with Elvis appearing in his Blue Pinwheel suit! And so much more! Quality wise this DVD easily represents the best picture quality of any Las Vegas 8mm footage that has been seen before.

Kissin' Cousins 60th Anniversary Edition

At Infinity Records, we are proud to present a limited 2-CD edition of the "Kissin' Cousins" soundtrack to celebrate the incredible talent involved in these sessions. Often overlooked, the music features members of the legendary "Nashville A-Team," along with long-time contributors to Elvis's sound, including Scotty Moore, D.J. Fontana, and the sensational Boots Randolph.

These discs contain rare, previously unreleased RCA masters in both stereo and mono, making them a must-hear for fans! The sound quality is exceptional, prompting curiosity as to why these tracks were discarded. Don’t miss the stunning "Anyone (Could Fall in Love With You)" and the lively "Smoky Mountain Boy," among other highlights. Additionally, we've included a selection of movie outtakes featuring rare and unreleased movie masters sourced from acetate and "track" recordings intended for Elvis's vocal overdubs. This collection showcases the extraordinary work of the musicians, along with a demo of "Kissin' Cousins" by Malcolm Dodd, complemented by the session of "Echoes of Love."

Despite a dip in material quality, "Kissin' Cousins," still achieved a respectable #11 spot on the Variety National Box Office Chart, while its soundtrack reached #6 on the Billboard Top LPs Chart.

Keeping The Show Alive Out Now

SR LP&CD Special Product

out now, Keeping The Show Alive (SR Records) will focus on Elvis’ January& February 1973 Vegas season, featuring shows from January  27th, 1973 MS,  previously unreleased on vinyl including as bonus CD the unreleased show from February 05, 1973, MS.
 
The January show was previously released on CD but this is the first time on vinyl format with an incredibly superior sound. The vinyl will be accompanied by a CD with an unreleased show from the same season just a week later. A Must-have!

The SR intends to present Elvis at the peak of his possibility. Elvis in the first week of the Vegas January and February season is undoubtedly the best moment of Elvis in 1973, presenting him at the top of his possibilities, delivering two great shows, as suggested in the title “Keeping The Show Alive”. The performances are outstanding and the shows are surely the best of the season.
 
Coming from just two weeks from the Aloha special was not the best way to face another Las Vegas season despite this in the first week of the season Elvis sings and is still very active on the stage He performs all the songs to the maximum of his possibilities, presenting all the best of his repertoire from the previous TV special and placing his best rocker single Burning Love at the end of the show we have to wait another two years to have another live performance of Burning Love.               
We are happy to be able to associate great performance with great audio quality and overall a great bonus CD with this unreleased show placed at the begin of the second week of the season with a minor track listing variation but we think can give well the idea of the first part of the season.

The two shows are great and now consist of a solid collection of great-quality songs well-performed. The range of Elvis’ performance is extensive we go from the oldies rocking with the two classic Hound Dog and Blue Suede Shoes to the power pop You Don’t Have To Say To Love Me, without forgetting the sensitive Until It’s Time For You To Go and the religious How Great Thou Art the autobiographical You Gave Me a Mountain ending with the best topic moment show the rocker Burning Love and the next single the solid rock blues Steamroller Blues without a doubt represent the highlight of the show.

This new SR Special Product will be housed  in a deluxe 300 grams sleeve that includes  
together the  150-gram vinyl and Bonus  CD with sleeve.  
 

To have a special collector’s item, the 600 copies will be presented with FIVE  different vinyl colour VARIATIONS. All the copies will come with Glossy Stickers hand-numbered and individually sealed Please remember!! This is a LIMITED HAND NUMBERED set of 500 COPIES.

ELVIS | LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA (2 CD-SET)

This new double cd from PARADISE ROAD RECORDS contains 2 live shows recorded live at the Long Beach Arena, November 14 & 15, 1972.
Both shows were released before many years ago but are now presented for the first time together on one great new double album AND in REMASTERED SOUND.

Both shows are good sounding audience recordings, but especially the sound of the November 15, 1972 show is very clear. This is the best show of the two AND what makes this show extra special is that Elvis' daughter is attending an Elvis show for the first time! It is clear that Elvis is proud that Lisa is present at this show. On this day he also gives her a concert scarf signed with a special message. You'll find a photo of this scarf inside the 12 pages cd booklet.

As a special bonus we've included the presentation of the USS Potomac to Danny Thomas, a recording from February 14, 1964 - now in upgraded sound quality...  

This double album is a great document from Elvis in Long Beach, including great live songs like 'One Night, 'You Don't Have To Say You Love Me', 'Little Sister / Get Back', 'The Wonder Of You', and many others.

Lp's New Script, Same Stage

OUT AUGUST 16th! Millbranch Music continues with its ultra-high quality vinyl releases, made for the real fan and limited as usual to only 300 copies! Available in black, clear and magenta vinyl!! Get it while you still can!
“New Script, Same Stage” is a 2-LP set with an extra 20-page booklet and printed innersleeves! We at Millbranch wanted to create an album that does justice to the recordings made at the beginning of 1972. For the part with the songs from the Opening show of January 26, 1972, we even had the opportunity to work with the original binaural tape and this clearly made an impact on the sound which presents the songs in a sound quality never heard before!
With this impressive LP set featuring original photos coming directly from the negatives (almost perfect for framing!), we want to pay tribute to that turbulent time of the recording sessions where Elvis presented his new show in Las Vegas in January and February with a lot of new songs in his setlist and turned his feelings into music at Hollywood´s RCA Studio C, given the fact that his marriage was falling apart at the time. The result was a very emotional output of music as only Elvis was able to create because he had put his whole heart and feelings into the recordings, probably even meant as a public apology to his lost love. At least, the songs were kind of a statement – done coincidentally or not.
We strongly believe that the songs on our new release fit together very well! Hear Elvis at his best at the early stage of 1972 and make sure you´ll get your copy of our brandnew and very limited Millbranch vinyl release at your favorite dealer!

LP Back In LA

OUT AUGUST 16th! Millbranch Music continues with its ultra-high quality vinyl releases, made for the real fan and limited as usual to only 300 copies! Available in black, clear and transparent red vinyl!! Get it while you still can!
BACK IN L.A. is a 2-LP set with an extra 20-page booklet and printed innersleeves, containing the legendary evening show at the Forum in Los Angeles, California from May 11, 1974!

Elvis’ 1974 LA concert, with Led Zeppelin in the audience, has seen quite a few releases over the past 10+ years, starting with ‘Live in LA’ on the FTD record label in 2011. Unfortunately the tape ran too slow on this release. Subsequent releases under various labels did not fully resolve the quality issues, as they were sourced from a “Low Noise” Audio cassette containing a copy of an original reel-to-reel tape. Although several Import labels attempted to remaster the FTD CD, the first noteworthy release of this concert was on the “City of Angels” set which featured a direct transfer from the original reel-to-reel tape. The original tape was not in the best condition after being poorly
preserved and changing owners a few times. Regrettably, it was not remastered professionally when the “City of Angels” CD was released.

Thanks to the late Edwin Meijers, a pivotal figure in the 1980s with close ties to Colonel Parker - who at the time needed funds for legal battles - we were able to obtain the original tape. Meijers relationship with Parker facilitated the acquisition of several unique, authentic recordings, now cherished by collectors.

During the production of our “Kansas City Revisited” album, we were amazed by what could be done to restore these kinds of recordings using modern studio techniques and the expertise of our sound engineer. It inspired us to release this dynamic and historical show from May 1974 once more. This release includes a 20-page booklet detailing “Elvis Back in LA” and a bonus section with performances from 1956, 1970, and 1974. We know you will enjoy this great show, which still gets “A Whole Lotta Love” from the members of Led Zeppelin fifty years later!

Update June 24, 2024

Two new CDs by Straight Arrow label out soon!

Legendary label Straight Arrow (established in 2005) is back with their new 2024 releases of Elvis tour opening show in Buffalo, New York, June 25, 1976 and evening show in Syracuse, New York, July 25, 1976.

Straight Arrow was fortunate enough to obtain original audience-recorded tapes of these shows, recorded by well known Canadian super fan and Elvis books author, Christopher Brown. His master cassettes were never in circulation. Although released before from different sources, these historic concerts were never before available in pristine sound quality - until now! Every second of the tape was enhanced in the renowned Sound & Vision studio to achieve the optimal listening experience. The sound was remastered to the correct speed. If you have enjoyed our previous 1976 CDs, we believe that you will love these ones as well. Ask your local CD vendor for audio teasers!

Presented in the usual Straight Arrow fashion with top notch digipacks including photos of Elvis on stage in June and July 1976 and great liner notes written by Christopher Brown himself. These new releases are beauties that you must not miss! Both CDs are perfect soundtracks to Christopher Brown’s second book “ELVIS IN CONCERT,” too.

These CDs are dedicated to the memory of our dear friend and collaborator, the excellent musician Mr. Vladimír Tomek (19.7.1950 – 25.2.2024), who worked with us on many Straight Arrow releases.

The Straight Arrow label is planning - hopefully - more volumes of “From the Christopher Brown master tapes” this year. So stay tuned.

The Straight Arrow team is always looking for new, unreleased audience-taped shows and for better quality versions of the previously released recordings. If you have such unique tapes, even damaged or broken, do not hesitate to contact us through your local dealer!

The King at the Aud
“From the Christopher Brown master tapes Vol. 1”
Friday, June 25th 1976 (tour opening show), Memorial Auditorium, Buffalo, N.Y.
(SA/SP 2024-72-02)
“My brother, David, a friend from our local church, Stephen Peslar, and I drove to Buffalo on Friday, June 25 to
see the first show of a new tour.
Buffalo was less than a two-hour drive from Toronto, and there was no difficulty finding the “Aud.” We searched for tickets. I felt the added pressure of needing to find THREE tickets.
It was a very good show. I heard many songs live for the first time, with the highlights being two complete versions of HURT, AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL, and performances of both POLK SALAD ANNIE and BURNING LOVE not often done in the same show.
It was also the first time I heard the extended AMEN following I GOT A WOMAN, which of course years later, and dozens of soundboards later, not a highlight anymore. Elvis also performed a new song for me tonight - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU (to Barbara).
This performance stands out as one of my favorites of the twenty-nine I saw. It was a really wild crowd (so many Canadians), and I think Elvis was surprised at their reaction to him. I miss seeing him in person. Always exciting, always fun, and always entertaining. A real joy. So long ago…”

The King at the War Memorial - From the Christopher Brown master tapes Vol. 2”
Sunday, July 25th 1976 (evening show), Onondaga County War Memorial, Syracuse, N.Y.
(SA/SP 2024-73-02)
“My brother, David, and I left Toronto for Syracuse, New York expecting to see three shows (two in Syracuse, one in Rochester), but hoping for four as the first show of our short tour was on a Sunday, and Elvis might do a matinee. When we arrived, we learned he would not.
Although he would return in two days, it’s surprising that the Colonel had not consented to a matinee and free up Tuesday for another city -- but it came to be known later that Elvis was really not up to performing two shows in one day. A matinee would often suffer and would usually be shorter.
This auditorium featured a fixed stage at one end of the building, with no seats behind Elvis or on the very sides of the stage – very unusual. Curtains draped the edges of the stage, and we couldn’t see Elvis until he was on the stage.
The show was good, though Elvis seemed to be really more interested in interacting with his back-up singers and musicians. The show suffered with what some have described as the ‘quick close syndrome – only three or four songs after a lengthy break for introductions, resulting in Elvis only singing for 5 to 7 minutes, though it often included the highlight of the show - HURT.
I was disappointed with this show after having seen the opening show of the previous tour in Buffalo, but perhaps the following two days would be better…”
(excerpts from liner notes by Christopher Brown)

New Script, Same Stage

OUT JUNE 30th! Millbranch Music is back with its first CD release in 2024! This time we have focused our attention to Elvis´ music of the first 3 months of the year 1972!

“New Script, Same Stage” is a CD in a deluxe 2-panel Digi-Pack: We at Millbranch wanted to create an album that does justice to the recordings made at the beginning of 1972. For the part with the songs from the Opening show of January 26, 1972, we even had the opportunity to work with the original binaural tape and this clearly made an impact on the sound which presents the songs in a sound quality never heard before!
With this CD, we want to pay tribute to that turbulent time of the recording sessions where Elvis presented his new show in Las Vegas in January and February with a lot of new songs in his setlist and turned his feelings into music at Hollywood´s RCA Studio C, given the fact that his marriage was falling apart at the time. The result was a very emotional output of music as only Elvis was able to create because he had put his whole heart and feelings into the recordings, probably even meant as a public apology to his lost love. At least, the songs were kind of a statement – done coincidentally or not.
Although there never really was an Elvis Presley album from 1972 that had an impact as if recorded from the same mould, Elvis albums were indeed released that year. “Elvis Now” came out in January 1972, containing more folk-oriented songs such as Kris Kristofferson’s “Help Me Make It Through the Night,” featuring the big hit “Put Your Hand in the Hand” by Gene MacLellan from a group called “Ocean”. Elvis had previously sung MacLellan’s “Snowbird,” which was a big hit for Anne Murray, who also had “Put Your Hand in the Hand” on her album. Additionally, “Elvis Now” included Gordon Lightfoot’s “Early Morning Rain.” In January, Elvis also released a single from the LP “Until It’s Time for You to Go” by Buffy Sainte-Marie and “We Can Make the Morning” by Jay Ramsey. In April 1972, the gospel LP “He Touched Me” was released along with the single “Bosom of Abraham.” The album won a Grammy Award in 1973 in the “Best Gospel Album” category. In June, the LP “As Recorded at Madison Square Garden” was released in a rush, making it to the stores within a week and earning Elvis a gold record by August 1972. Although the music for the albums, aside from “Madison Square Garden”, were all recorded in 1971, there were indeed recording sessions planned for 1972. RCA had made significant investments to record during the winter season in Las Vegas, where Elvis presented his completely new show - a no-nonsense show with more drama, more music, and less interaction with the audience. In March, at RCA Studio C in Hollywood, new songs were to be recorded. These songs became some of the most iconic Elvis Presley songs, including “Burning Love,” “Always on My Mind,” and “Fool” by James Last. Unfortunately, the songs mostly came out on budget LPs from RCA Camden and in 1973 on the album “Elvis,” which the public called “The Elvis Fool Album.” This record was mainly filled with various leftover songs from the archive. It is unfortunate that the songs and the concept of the songs from early 1972 were never released as a full album because when you hear all the songs in an order, they do indeed fit together.
We strongly believe that the songs on his new CD fit together very well! Hear Elvis at his best at the early stage of 1972 and make sure you´ll get your copy of our brandnew Millbranch release at your favorite dealer!

Ol’ Swivel Hips Still Wovs’ em
5 LP + 4 CD DELUXE BOX SET

This super deluxe box set is focussing on Elvis’ third tour of 1977. Elvis’ live performances in 1977 are often criticized and not without a reason. But Elvis was still offering his fans an enjoying time, the magic of seeing Elvis in person probably exceeded the fact he often delivered a standard and sometimes even mediocre performance. The reactions of the spectators are very telling. They scream, shout and get wild for their hero. While listening to the recordings of these shows you cannot draw any other conclusion than that the shows were sometimes below par, although often with highlights! But the charisma of Elvis was enormous, which probably made this unnoticed by most of the fans present. This set contains soundboard & multitrack recordings from an important and final part of his tremendous career.

This set is very limited and available in RED or WHITE or MIXED vinyl.

Keeping The Show Alive

SR LP&CD Special Product

Coming Soon, Keeping The Show Alive (SR Records) will focus on Elvis’ January& February 1973 Vegas season, featuring shows from January  27th, 1973 MS,  previously unreleased on vinyl including as bonus CD the unreleased show from February 05, 1973, MS.
 
The January show was previously released on CD but this is the first time on vinyl format with an incredibly superior sound. The vinyl will be accompanied by a CD with an unreleased show from the same season just a week later. A Must-have!

The SR intends to present Elvis at the peak of his possibility. Elvis in the first week of the Vegas January and February season is undoubtedly the best moment of Elvis in 1973, presenting him at the top of his possibilities, delivering two great shows, as suggested in the title “Keeping The Show Alive”. The performances are outstanding and the shows are surely the best of the season.
 
Coming from just two weeks from the Aloha special was not the best way to face another Las Vegas season despite this in the first week of the season Elvis sings and is still very active on the stage He performs all the songs to the maximum of his possibilities, presenting all the best of his repertoire from the previous TV special and placing his best rocker single Burning Love at the end of the show we have to wait another two years to have another live performance of Burning Love.               
We are happy to be able to associate great performance with great audio quality and overall a great bonus CD with this unreleased show placed at the begin of the second week of the season with a minor track listing variation but we think can give well the idea of the first part of the season.

The two shows are great and now consist of a solid collection of great-quality songs well-performed. The range of Elvis’ performance is extensive we go from the oldies rocking with the two classic Hound Dog and Blue Suede Shoes to the power pop You Don’t Have To Say To Love Me, without forgetting the sensitive Until It’s Time For You To Go and the religious How Great Thou Art the autobiographical You Gave Me a Mountain ending with the best topic moment show the rocker Burning Love and the next single the solid rock blues Steamroller Blues without a doubt represent the highlight of the show.

This new SR Special Product will be housed  in a deluxe 300 grams sleeve that includes  
together the  150-gram vinyl and Bonus  CD with sleeve.  
 

To have a special collector’s item, the 600 copies will be presented with FIVE  different vinyl colour VARIATIONS. All the copies will come with Glossy Stickers hand-numbered and individually sealed Please remember!! This is a LIMITED HAND NUMBERED set of 500 COPIES.

Update May 7, 2024

 

REELTRAX is back with another great 2-CD release – actually the first one in 2024! After the great success of our recent vinyl release “68 Unleashed” which has sold out very quickly we now present a completely new CD project!

“Elvis Seventy Three” is a 2-disc set with two complete shows from Elvis´ August 1973 engagement at the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas: With CD 1 of this set you will be able to step back in time with Elvis Presley’s closing night performance from September 3, 1973. For the first time, experience this iconic show which easily can be seen as one of the most unusual performances of Elvis´ career in correct speed and superior sound quality, thanks to a meticulous Matrix mix of soundboard and audience recordings. This new mix reveals intricacies and audience interactions previously unheard, capturing the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll in his element.

The closing night concert is renowned for its humorous touch – for instance when Elvis had a toy monkey on his back (all through the first two songs of the show) while being carried on stage on the back of Lamar Fike or when a red velvet bed had been placed on stage during the show with Elvis sitting on it while singing “What Now My Love” and pretending to “search” for his love in the bed. And especially when he totally mixed up the music and lyrics of “Suspicious Minds” and “Bridge Over Troubled Water”, probably just because he wanted to fool his musicians (we called that “Suspicious Bridge” and gave it its own track on the cd). But the concert is also known for its heartfelt and rare performances like "Help Me Make It Through The Night", “Softly As I Leave You” and a fantastic "How Great Thou Art" with multiple reprises, among others.

Additionally, to make sure the content of this CD is 100% the “real” closing night show we did not use the first 6 songs from the soundboard of the dinner show of the same date (which has been done this way before on an earlier release of the show), but chose to include them from an ambiance recording which has been made at closing night (see Tracklist below). It’s a pity that those first six songs have not been recorded on soundboard back in 1973.

CD 2 presents the midnight show of August 7, 1973, sourced from an ambiance recording which offers a very good sound. Elvis himself mentioned during the concert that he and his band were enjoying their time on stage, which led him to extend his performance, adding a personal touch to this memorable evening. One of only two versions of “Funny How Time Slips Away”, sung during the August 1973 season, and “Faded Love”, performed live for its fourth and final time are real highlights.

But actually the setlists of BOTH shows in this 2-CD set contrast the energy from the beginning to the end of Elvis’s stint, highlighting both his serious and playful side on stage. The show on CD 2 has previously been released at a wrong speed on ‘Top Acts in Vegas’ 28 years ago. This corrected version now allows fans to hear Elvis as he truly sounded, making it a pivotal release for collectors and new fans alike.

Enhance your Elvis collection with this definitive edition, featuring no less than a variety of 9 bonus tracks that underscore rare moments and the fun Elvis had during the Las Vegas Summer season of 1973.

OUR MEMORIES OF ELVIS VOLUME 3
Victory Records
LP + 2CD
After the untimely death of Elvis in August 1977 Elvis' record company quickly reissued a big part of the Elvis catalogue on vinyl. The demand was obviously huge and the staff had to work overtime. The last album released during Elvis’ lifetime was ‘Moody Blue’. Between all reissues, ‘Elvis in Concert’ (the last “planned” Elvis album) was released. The double album was awarded gold & platinum in October 1977. After ‘Elvis in Concert’ a lot of compilation and special product albums were released, but Joan Deary definitely felt the fans were in need for something special. She released ‘a legendary performer volume 3’ containing some unreleased tracks. Shortly after 'A Legendary Performer' she produced the excellent release ‘Our Memories Of Elvis’ in February 1979. The album claimed to contain tracks without additional accompaniment, but for real the album featured stripped down versions, not the undubbed masters that the fans thought they were listening to. Although not being as big of a seller as expected, the album has always been a fan favorite and paved the road for a 'volume 2' and for later releases like the ‘Elvis Aaron Presley’ box set and ‘Greatest Hits Volume 1’. A volume 3 of 'Our Memories Of Elvis' was planned but never realized, until now! Now available is this super limited edition 14 track 180 grams album. This release contains two bonus cds containing the LP tracks and many bonus tracks.

This is the pure Elvis!

2-LP-SET RAGS TO RICHES (MBM 2024-1-5)


Millbranch Music is excited to introduce the (limited to 300 copies) vinyl edition of our acclaimed album “Rags To Riches”, a continuation of the success from last year's CD release. This special edition honors Elvis Presley's legendary June and September 1970 Nashville sessions, where he collaborated with a distinguished group of musicians to produce some of the most heartfelt and enduring music of his career.

During the June 1970 sessions, Elvis worked with legendary guitarist James Burton, whose electric guitar licks enhanced tracks such as "Patch It Up" and "I've Lost You", as well as the talented Norbert Putnam, whose bass lines provided the foundation for "The Next Step is Love". The September sessions saw Elvis collaborating with the same high caliber musicians, including the gifted pianist David Briggs, whose contributions helped to define the sound of songs like "I Really Don't Want To Know" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water".

This vinyl release includes special printed inner sleeves with liner-notes titled “Designed to Be Beautiful”, exploring the reasons why these sessions capture some of Elvis' most beautiful and mature work, a creative peak in his career. Also, the black vinyl edition includes a bonus CD, and a bonus photo from the "That's The Way It Is" motion picture, providing a visual complement to the music.

Our goal with this vinyl edition is to present the music as it was intended, highlighting the distinct qualities of the mono mixes, the special mastering done for this vinyl edition cements that sentiment. This release is a celebration of Elvis’ legacy, the talented musicians who worked with him, and the timeless music they created together. Now available at your favorite dealer, this edition invites fans and newcomers alike to experience Elvis Presley's music in a format that pays homage to the artist's significant contributions to music, underscored by the exceptional talent of the session musicians from those pivotal Nashville sessions.

55th anniversary From Elvis In Memphis ( 3 LP set)

When looking at Elvis' life, there were three producers that were responsible for a boost in Elvis' career. The first has to be Sam Phillips; the next Steve Binder; and last but not least, Chips Moman. All three men knew exactly what they wanted, and they pushed Elvis to his limits, creating a result beyond anyone's expectations. And no, it wasn't luck that brought these men to Elvis at the right time.
Together, these men created the right time! On these three albums, we're presenting alternate takes of tracks that Elvis recorded in 1969 at the American Sound Studio - Memphis, Tennessee. Produced by Chips Moman, they are all among the best songs that Elvis ever recorded. Also included is a complete LP, filled with Elvis singing many songs from these Memphis sessions, live on stage in 1969/1970. Recorded on multitrack tapes and digitally mastered for vinyl, these tracks will blow you away.
So, sit down and enjoy Elvis at his best, like you never heard him before!

The King In The City of Six Flags

Wednesday, June 20 tour opening, Municipal Auditorium, Mobile, AL.

Legendary label Straight Arrow (established in 2005) is back with its first 2024 release of Elvis tour opening show in Mobile, Alabama, June 20, 1973. The CD is titled “The King in The City of Six Flags” (SA/SP 2024-71-02). Every tour opening concert, was a special one, and this show is not an exception. Compared with the previous April tour, Elvis was really full of enthusiasm, in great voice and fantastic mood. These June / July 73 shows are definitely best of the year! There is no need to describe every great performance of this evening but two of them stand out: fantastic versions of “How Great Thou Art” and “An American Trilogy.”

The Mobile, June 20th, 1973, 8:30pm tour opening show is previously unreleased until now! This show was not available in acceptable sound previously. Our release has been taken directly from the 24bit digital transfer made in December 2010, of the previously unreleased original audience-recorded cassette. This concert was recorded by Elvis fan, Bob Cleveland, from the USA. Every second was faithfully enhanced to achieve the optimal listening experience. The sound has been remastered to the correct speed. If you have enjoyed our previous 1973 CDs, we believe that you will love this one as well.
Ask your local CD vendor for teasers!

Presented in the usual Straight Arrow fashion with the top notch digipack including collection of the photos of Elvis June 1973 tour and review from local Mobile Press, this new release is the beauty that you must not miss!>
The Straight Arrow team is always looking for new, unreleased audience-taped shows and for improved versions of the previously released recordings. If you have such unique tapes, even damaged or broken ones, do not hesitate to contact us through your local dealer. We would like to thanks to those who have supplied them in last couple of years! Note: although Mobile is still called „The City Of Six Flags,“ in last couple of years there are disgraceful attempts to re-write the history and remove Confederation flag from the official city seal. We hope that it will not happen.
