FTD Viva Las Vegas 3 CD set - first look

Postby TonyS » Fri Jul 06, 2018 10:53 am

Here it is.
Another first for Phoenix. ;)
IMG_1959.JPG

This is the ultimate VIVA LAS VEGAS 3-CD set: includes more than an hour of previously unreleased false starts, break downs, and complete takes!

All tracks have been recently remixed and mastered from the original 3-track session tapes. The 8”x 8” slipcase replicates an original Session Reel box. The 28-page booklet includes rare photographs, memorabilia, session data, Movie Trivia, Ann-Margret bio by the late Stuart Colman and

Movie overview by Alan Hanson. The 3-CDs are housed in a CD carrier adorned by original tape box documentation.

I thought that would be obvious, especially after all the months of speculation?
I don't see the word 'complete' anywhere though, do you ?

I was one of those, but i'm not the least dissapointed in this release, it looks fantastic. I just wonder when we're goin to get a tracklisting to see what they've accomplished. I look forward to this one, and will be one of the first to pick it up.

I wish The Climb track was at the end of the disc(s) as I have no interest in playing it.
Other than that this looks very good.....and expensive.
And at 40 pound+ shipping it is................

I wonder what's taking Ernst so long to come up with something for the 'classic album' release of FOR LP FANS ONLY ?

It's been well over a year since FTD released A DATE WITH ELVIS.
I'm happy to be an Elvis fan! 8-)
