CD Bootleg: Asheville Marathon 75 (AudiRec)

[burroughs]

ASHEVILLE MARATHON '75

“AudiRec” is back with a very special 4CD box
AudiRec AR 197507234-2

In July 1975, Elvis played 21 shows in 11 different cities. This tour was rated as being one of the very best in Elvis' last years. His powerful vocal delivery, his entertaining mood and his willingness to improvise
various unusual songs are what make this tour such a stand-out, and the final 3 shows in Asheville, NC were simply stunning!
In Asheville Elvis played longest shows of the tour and performed many rarely sung songs. He was promoting his new album “ELVIS TODAY” with “Shake A Hand”, “Fairytale”, “T.R.O.U.B.L.E.” and “Pieces Of My Life”. More than any time before he was interacting with his audience, singing songs by requests: “Memphis Tennessee”, “An American Trilogy”, “Heartbreak Hotel”, “Jailhouse Rock”, “Something”, “Return To Sender”
or “Wooden Heart”.
Elvis was in a hilarious mood, he gave away several golden rings and a fan in the first row Mike Harris from Asheville was lucky to get Elvis’ Gibson Ebony Dove guitar! It was the famous guitar which Elvis used in Aloha From Hawaii. Later in the show, Mike Harris thought Elvis was gonna ask for the guitar back, but Elvis leaned down and said: “'No that's yours. I gave that to you for a reason, and it's gonna help you out some day.”

These shows were previously released, but all original releases are very hard to find now. Instead of simple “copy & paste” job, we have decided to enhance the sound from scratch so we bet that those shows
never sounded better! Now get ready to hear Elvis Presley's talents in full throttle as he performs all these styles as only one man can.
This release is presented in 25x14cm de-luxe plastics 4CD box with 16-page booklet, filled with great collection of photos taken in Asheville and press reviews.
To make our release even more attractive for serious collectors, we present it in 3 different variations. It means 3 different covers and also different disc labels for every variation.

[ROSI_]

Ich erinnere mich noch an den Show von der Touchdown CD "Still Crazy After All These Years". Die war sehr gut ! Allerdings für meine Ohren etwas schmerzhaft, da ich kein großer Freund von Audience Aufnahmen bin.



Ich finde diesen "Trend" gleich 3 verschiedene Artworks zu bringen etwas unnötig. Aber so verkauft man natürlich noch mehr von den Zeug, weil viele Sammler ja gleich alle 3 Exemplare haben müssen.

[Joern]

Ich frage mich, wie viel besser die Sachen klingen sollen, als sie es für Audience Sachen ohnehin schon tun. Hat schon mal jemand irgend ein Sample gehört?

[ROSI_]

Braucht man nicht. Da verbessert sich nicht viel !
Warte bis die scheiben auf elvisoncd.com gelistet sind. Dort kann man manchmal ein Sample hören, wenn auch stark kompirmiert.

[Gast]

Diese Konzerte in Topqualität auf FTD, ein Traum würde wahr werden.

[ROSI_]

Gibt es hier was neues? Hat jemand die Box schon ?

[King77]

Nein, wer die 3 Konzerte bereits besitzt kann die Box vergessen.

[Ciscoking]

Ich finde die Idee trotzdem prinzipiell nicht schlecht. Gute Konzerte und die Pieces Of My Life gibts schon seit Jahren nicht mehr. Für Neueinsteiger perfekt.

[M.C. Clap Your Hands]

Oder aber auch für Alles-Sammler, wenn Preis nicht allzu heiß ist.

Gut..ich brauche das Material nicht doppelt. Bin eh der Typ der Duplikationen meidet.

[King77]

Grundsätzlich ist ein jedes Re - Release von Konzerten od. Studio Material welches es seit Jahren nicht mehr gibt okay. Dadurch haben eben Fans die Möglichkeit an diverse Aufnahmen noch günstig heranzukommen. Die Alles Sammler kaufen auch diese Imports u. die alten Hasen können genau so gut diese Bootlegs ignorieren.
