Contains the original album & the complete August 12th, 1970 concert and the rehearsal. The booklet includes rare memorabilia and photos.
The 3 CDs are housed in their own separate 4-panel digipaks with white tray. Digipaks and an additional 24-page booklet housed in a partially transparent slipcase.
Disc one includes the original album as released in 1970, certified GOLD by the RIAA. Songs 1-1 to 1-12 are original mixes and digitally restored. The additional recordings (tracks 1-13 to 1-19) are taken from the same 1970 Nashville sessions and Las Vegas concerts as the original album
Disc two includes all of Elvis' performances from the midnight show at the Las Vegas Hilton on August 12, 1970. Probably the best live concert ever recorded by Elvis Presley. Most of the performances are previously unreleased and the entire show has been remixed.
Disc three includes nine additional live performances from the same Las Vegas season and many rehearsals that provide a rare look into preparations for the movie and music-making of Elvis Presley and his musicians. The sound quality varies due to tape source, however, priority has been given to historic content. Elvis' professional determination and spontaneous jamming more than compensate by offering a unique and insightful document of a perfectionist at work.
Some slipcases may carry a sticker Artist Of The Century applied post manufacture. Digitally Remastered on rear of slipcase.
