Album Notes
This 3-disc set includes the original album THAT'S THE WAY IT IS and two discs of unreleased tracks.Personnel: Elvis Presley (vocals, guitar); James Burton, Chip Young, Eddie Hinton, John Wilkinson (guitar); Charlie McCoy (harmonica, organ); David Briggs, Glen D. Hardin (piano); Norbert Putnam, Jerry Scheff (bass); Jerry Carrigan, Ron Tutt (drums); Charlie Hodge Orchestra; The Imperials, The Jordanaires, The Sweet Inspirations, Millie Kirkham, Mary Green, Mary Holladay, Ginger Holladay, Temple Riser, June Page, Sonja Montgomery, Dolores Edgin (background vocals).Compilation producers: Ernst Mikael Jorgensen, Roger Semon.Principally recorded at The International Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada on August 12, 1970.This is a highly expanded (three CD) version of the soundtrack to Dennis Saunder's 1970 documentary of Presley's first big post-comeback tour, designed to complement the restored reissue of the film itself. Disc one features the original album--which mixes live and studio cuts from Nashville and Las Vegas--fleshed out with seven more songs from the same sessions, including an impassioned version of the Beatles' "Something," and a honky-tonk take on Tony Bennett's '50s weeper "Rags to Riches." Disc two features an entire (mostly previously unreleased) live show from the same period, brilliantly remixed, so that genius guitarist James Burton can really be heard for a change. Disc three features rehearsals for the tour, some recorded at home. The sound is often merely okay, but it's nice to hear Presley working with just a bare bones rhythm section for a change.

Mojo (09/01/2000)
...It's Elvis in full effect: magnificent pop arais in the studio, swampy grit on stage, and covers that sound schmaltzy until the towering emotion in his voice makes you realize he means every word. - Rating: A
