COLLECTED WORKS PART TWO JULY/AUGUST 1970

È il 1970 ed è l’inizio di una nuova stagione a Las Vegas. Anche in questo caso la casa discografica è presente per registrare i primi spettacoli di quello che viene spesso definito “Summer Festival 1970” di Elvis. Le registrazioni erano destinate sia all’uscita di un documentario girato dalla MGM che alla colonna sonora di accompagnamento. Ma non solo la casa discografica faceva girare i nastri durante gli spettacoli e le prove. Anche la MGM ha fatto delle cosiddette Camera recording. In questo cofanetto sono presenti alcune di queste importanti registrazioni, tante volte più complete o uniche rispetto a quelle effettuate dalla RCA.
In questo set di tre cd in edizione limitata, ci sono tante registrazioni inedite delle prove del 15 luglio.
