Elvis' That's The Way It Is (Deluxe Edition):

Here he is finally, the long awaited 3 cd box-set, the so called (Deluxe Edition).

About the artwork, I don't have much to say, it's very sober, but everyone has

his own view on that one.

Than we have the inside, wich is much more interesting.

First of all, Disc 1:

The first disc starts with the original TTWII tracks with 7 additional

so called bonus songs.

Disc 2:

The second disc is really great, here we have a realy superb show from

August 12, 1970, Midnight Show (International Hotel, Las Vegas).

And this is one of Elvis best concerts ever, I think that the most Elvis fans agree

with me on that. This is pure dynamite, Elvis on top of the world, singing his

heart out, to the world.

This is a complete show, and the show is very special at his own, because there

aren't many Sounboard concerts from 1970 that were released, so this is really a

treat for us Elvis Lovers.

Disc 3:

The last but not least cd, features more Unreleased material and Rehearsals.

The Rehearsals are realy great and the sound is not all in the same good quality,

because it came from different sources.

The First Highlight from that cd, is "Santa Claus Is Back In Town"

Then, he starts "farther Along" A thrill to hear, such a passion in this song.

Then "Oh Happy Day" This is a must have for us collectors.

This cd box-set, is one that every Elvis Lover (fan) must have.

I know I do.
