The "Audionics" label that released "Across
The Country Vol. 2" containing the
Huntsville, May 31st, 1975 evening show
earlier this year, will release the CD
"Adios Huntsville". This release contains
the last of Elvis' five legendary Huntsville
concerts from the May/June 1975 tour, as
recorded from the soundboard on June 1st,
1975, 8:30 P.M. - no edits, the complete
tape. The CD has a running time of almost
64.
Synopsis:
It was one of the the best shows of the
tour, and a happy, humorous and good-voiced
Elvis delivered excellent versions of songs
like "The Wonder Of You", "Polk Salad
Annie", "T.R.O.U.B.L.E.", "I Can't Stop
Loving You", "I'll Remember You" and "An
American Trilogy".
A first generation DAT copy of the original
mono soundboard recording was used for this
project. As the majority of die-hard fans
know, none of the May / June 1975 tour
soundboards were recorded in their entirety.
This time, only "C. C. Rider" and "I Got A
Woman" / "Amen" were not recorded. The
producers added these tracks from another
concert, as recorded from the soundboard in
Dayton, OH, 06.10.'74 8:30 P.M. These two
tracks were released previously, but here
they appear in superior audio from an
alternate source.
As you've come to expect from us, this CD is
accompanied with a classy 16-page full color
booklet containing liner notes as written by
a renowned Elvis expert, who was lucky
enough to be in the Huntsville crowd on that
day. The majority of the photographs in the
booklet were taken during the Huntsville,
AL, June 1st, 1975 8:30 P.M. show, where
Elvis wore the "Black Eagle" suit. Several
additional photographs from the Huntsville,
June 1st, 1975 2:30 P.M. concert and from
the Dayton, OH, October 6th, 1974 8:30 P.M.
show were added to "complete the picture".
As Elvis said: "I'd like to say something,
can I raise my hand... we have had a
fantastic time here in Huntsville... a
little rough getting in and out of my hotel,
but that's all right. But you've really been
fantastic down here. If you want us back in
Huntsville, just let us know, and we shall
be back." Now every fan will have the
opportunity to return to Huntsville with the
King again & again, for an unforgettable
night of Elvis magic.
