Elvis - Seventy Three 2LP

Brand New & Sealed

Reel Trax announces the release of the double vinyl "Elvis Seventy Three: Recorded At Las Vegas Hilton, September 3 1973. Closing Night"

Reel Trax is back with another fantastic 2-LP release,

This album is now available in a special run of only 150 copies, pressed on an exclusive splatter vinyl featuring Elvis Presley's iconic performance from September 3, 1973 (Closing Night), during his summer engagement at the Las Vegas Hilton.

This limited edition album has been meticulously mixed in Matrix sound, combining soundboard and audience recordings to deliver superior sound quality and a more immersive experience. The mix reveals nuances and audience interactions never heard before, capturing Elvis at his most unique and fun.

To ensure the best listening experience, we have made a major change to the vinyl edition: the beginning of the show, originally recorded as an audience tape, has been inserted onto Side D.

While we felt it was not ideal to start the album with an audience recording, those who wish to enjoy the entire concert can simply play Side D to complete the experience.

The closing concert of the engagement is legendary for its humor and spontaneity. Highlights include Elvis being carried on stage by Lamar Fike with a toy monkey on his back, a red velvet bed placed on stage during "What Now My Love" and a playful mashup of "Suspicious Minds" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water."

However, the concert also features rare and heartfelt performances, such as "Help Me Make It Through The Night" and a touching rendition of "How Great Thou Art."

Particularly notable is the version of "Softly As I Leave You," in which Elvis sits alone in a chair on stage with only his head lit up. On this recording, we can also hear the background music that accompanies the song, something that was not captured on the original soundboard recording.

This vinyl release is available in an extremely limited edition of just 150 copies, pressed on exclusive splatter vinyl. Collectors would do well to grab this one now, before it's too late.
