This deluxe 4 CD set released by Backdraft is the ultimate
January/February 1970 engagement package. �Rebooked at the International�
features multi-track recordings by RCA including unreleased leftovers that did
not make the �On Stage� album. These are the original rough mixes made by Felton
Jarvis in early 1970 in preparation for the up-coming �On Stage� album. No
repairs, No overdubs!
CD 2 features the recordings that finally made the �On Stage� album
however, for the first time, is released in its original form before studio
overdubs were added. The tracks are unedited, with extra long unedited dialogue
in between songs that also were never included on the album. This is the �On
Stage� album that was meant to be, no overdubs, unedited and raw on stage
directly from multi-track tapes.
CD 3 features the left over tracks that never made it to the album.
For the first time, it contains many unreleased songs in multi-track form along
with some previous material that were recorded from the same shows. This, with
all the added unreleased dialogue in between the songs is accompanied with
rehearsal tracks from the engagement, making this collection the most complete
and compelling ever assembled on this, Elvis� second coming to the International
Hotel.
This box set also includes newly sourced soundboard recordings of the
opening and closing shows of the engagement. Though both have been released
several times before, none of those previous releases achieved the sonic quality
presented here. The Opening show on CD 1 is presented for the first time without
any of the heavy filters that were present on previous releases as well as the
Closing show on CD 4, a much better recording, is slightly longer at the end
than before. This is the first time that every single audio signal of the
original recording has been used for the audio restoration. Backdraft has
achieved a much clearer natural sound and a tremendous sonic separation of the
instruments and voices. This is not a slight improvement like on other
re-releases; this is a new sonic experience!
Many Elvis fans would appreciate the difficulty in obtaining
photographs from the January/February 1970 engagement. In fact, fans would agree
the enormous rarity of such since only a handful of these have been seen or
available. For the first time included in the accompanying 100 page hardback
book, are such photographs never before seen in beautiful quality accompanied
with extensive liner notes and hard facts.
There was a limit of 1000 made of this high-quality beautiful box set.
