The import SR label will
release the CD "I Sing My
Own Kinds" containing the
unreleased August 10, 1971
Dinner Show plus part of the
Midnight Show from the same
day as recorded from the
audience in Las Vegas. The
CD, due for release in the
middle of January 2008, has
a running time of close to
80 minutes and comes as a
deluxe digipack.
The press release:
The forthcoming release from
the "SR" label scheduled for
the middle January, is
titled "I Sing My Own Kinds"
and will feature the
unreleased show from Las
Vegas August 10, 1971 Dinner
Show plus part of the
Midnight Show.
As everybody knows SR
concentrates its work on the
early 70's live period of
Elvis' activity, trying to
always produce unreleased
shows with Elvis at the top
of his ability. In this our
eighth release, we are proud
to present two very rare
shows, one complete and part
of the second to give you a
more complete view of the
day. Three songs from August
10th dinner were already
present as bonus on the
first SR release �Trying to
Get to Memphis� here you
have the possibility to
listen the complete concert.
Elvis' love of singing is
clear in these tapes and we
are glad to give you the
opportunity to listen to
them.
The Dinner show from August
10th, as presented on this
CD, represents just one of
the best shows of the
season. If we look closely
at the early Vegas act of
August 1971 we can see that
Elvis concentrates on the
music to produce great
shows. Elvis singing
straight to the audience
without pauses or jokes, the
performance is solid and
rough; the basic track
listing is presented
superbly. Songs like Proud
Mary, You�ve Lost that
Loving Feeling or Polk Salad
Annie never sounded better;
Elvis is still dynamic on
stage especially in songs
like Suspicious Minds. He
presents the best of his
repertoire from the last two
years. The only new song is
the single I�m Leaving,
heavily promoted during all
of 1971 and sang until 1974.
The man looks, sings and
moves in a great way. Elvis
is still performing at the
height of his ability
despite the presence of the
golden cage of Vegas and the
mediocre management, Elvis
is still into his music. His
focus, the attitude and his
relationship with the music
are still evident which
enables him to deliver a
great show. This level
remains throughout the
season
These recordings come from
an early generation copy of
the master tape; the sound
quality is very good
considering the season. The
sound was restored in a
studio to achieve best
possible results. We have
spent hours in the studio
over the digital restoration
of the sound, to achieve the
best possible results and to
give you the chance to
listen with pleasure.
For the second time from
this label, this new CD will
come in a deluxe digipack,
containing a collection of
live photographs of the
August season and some
informative liner notes.
