Elvis A Legendary Performer Volume 5

After more than twenty years, A Legendary Performer - Volume 5 will soon be issued (on the Madison label). Like the earlier editions in this series, it will contain many previously unavailable performances from every phase of Elvis' career, and include a 16 page, illustrated memory log. Every effort has been made to use the best available sources.

Among Volume 5's highlights are unedited masters of "Night Life" and "Yellow Rose Of Texas/The Eyes Of Texas," plus an unreleased take of "The Climb" from the "Viva Las Vegas" sessions; live August 1969 tracks taken from reel-to-reel; undubbed acetates of "I've Got Confidence," "It's A Matter Of Time" and "Woman Without Love"; and previously unreleased concert recordings from 1975 (Las Vegas ... undated, but neither March 22 MS nor March 30 DS) and 1976 (Cincinnati, March 21).
