Recorded live at the Freedom
Hall, Louisville, KY, July 23rd 1976
Label E. P. Collector is back after
nearly 3 years with unique release
of Elvis tour opening show in
Louisville, July 23rd, 1976. He
CD is titled “The KING in the
G.O.A.T.'s Hometown” (EPC
2023-26). Yes, it was the show
that Elvis played in Muhammad
Ali hometown!
Every tour opening concert was
special and this one is not an exception. Listen to high spirited Elvis in great voice and
good mood.
July 23rd, 1976 concert is previously unreleased. This show is taken from newly found
audience recorded tape and was never available in complete form and in listenable
sound - until now!
Carefully restored and mastered in September 2023, with a focus on preserving the
integrity of the original recording. Hence, some minor hiss may be present; we felt it
more important to preserve the high frequencies and natural ambience of the original
recording. The sound is very good for an off line recording - ask your CD dealer for
audio samples!
This CD is packaged in a nicely designed digipack with local press review. All images
used for the artwork were taken during July / August 1976 tour.
