DATA DI PUBBLICAZIONE: aprile 2024.
LABEL: Millbranch Music [2024-01-05].
AUDIO: *****
NOTE: splendido doppio LP con CD allegato che riporta lo stesso materiale emesso in CD l’anno precedente dalla stessa label.
Per gli amanti del vinile, siamo di fronte ad un lavoro veramente notevole con artwork di eccelsa qualità e materiale top.
Questa edizione in vinile (che si apre a gatefold) include speciali sleeves interne stampate con note di copertina intitolate “Designed to Be Beautiful”, che esplorano le ragioni per cui queste sessioni catturano alcuni dei lavori più belli e maturi di Elvis, un picco creativo nella sua carriera. Inoltre, l’edizione in vinile nero include un CD bonus e una foto bonus dal film “That’s The Way It Is”, che fornisce un complemento visivo alla musica.
La versione in vinile bianco non ha il CD allegato.
Il CD, rispetto a quello dell’anno precedente, ha in più la traccia numero 21: “Got my mojo working“.
