Elvis
Let It Roll  (Madison CWP 014)
1969-77

Silvr -> EAC -> FLAC

All the tracks on this CD are in full stereo and superb quality.

Let It Roll is a Madison (2006) release and features unreleased '70s alternate takes & unedited studio material in excellent sound quality, pretty much in the same quality as Danny Boy and Funny How Time Slips Away on Elvis - A Legendary Performer volume 8 . This CD will show the ever-present talent of Elvis in his later period, but also his good humor and dedication while working in studio. The packaging will include a 16 page, illustrated booklet and relevant notes. This CD should please all the fans with some rare studio and live recordings. Hear Elvis rehearsing It's Midnight before going into the first take of this song, a brief studio jam of Johnny B. Goode and having fun afterwards, one of his last performances of the song Help Me recorded at the closing show of the April/May '77 tour in Saginaw,MI., Elvis and the Imperials get down to cutting a terrific version of Bosom Of Abraham and more. The version of My Way on this is the original 1971 mix and is far superior to that found on the Essential '70s Masters box set. The ending is properly done.
