This was the featured concert from the film ELVIS ON TOUR, and according to the producer and director, it was the best show of the tour. Elvis was in great spirit and this is clearly evident from the additional footage released on the LOST PERFORMANCE video. Elvis rearranged his set for this show and the unusual format bore fantastic results.

Presley Elvis - Rough Cut Diamonds Vol 2 (Käytetty LP/12)
€30,00Quick View”Alternate Studio versions 1970 and 1971.( from: elvis-collectors.com; Side 1: ” If I Were you ” sounds a bit muffled, and Elvis’ vocal has a strange echo/reverb reminiscent of the Sun days. But the mix on this track is good; the piano is a bit in the background, and the acetate has a bit of surface noise. ” Help Me Make it Through the Night ” is missing the first few words of the opening line. This song is obviously from May 1971. The acetate is well balanced, though noisy and plays quite fast. ” Until It’s Time For You To Go ”, complete with count-in, is without backing vocals is very vocal heavy and sounds quite thin. The organ is noticeable since there are no backing vocals. ” It’s Only Love ” also sounds thin. The liner notes state the backing vocals were cut before Elvis did the lead and they are slightly noticeable, as they were not put into the mix on this acetate. Elvis really attacks this song and belts it out. ” We Can Make the Morning ” again sounds thin; this acetate has the string section but no backing vocals. Again Elvis really belts this song out. I like this mix of strings and no backing vocals; it seems to highlight Elvis’ voice. There are a few noticeable acetate pops during this track. Back to 1970 and ” Heart of Rome ”, no strings or horns, Elvis and Charlie hit the harmony parts right on. This acetate plays a bit fast and sounds a little thin, but Elvis belts this tune out and it has always been one of my favorites. Side 2: ” It’s You Baby, You Rock It ” complete with count-in is very unbalanced. James’ excellent acoustic guitar work is inaudible, as is the harmonica. Again, this track plays a bit fast. At least this track isn’t butchered and spliced like the version on the ” Behind Closed Doors ” LP set. Complete with count-in, ” Mary in the Morning ” is somewhat muffled probably because the acetate is worn and again this track plays a bit fast and sounds thin, but the undubbed version is nice. James’ acoustic and Charlie McCoy’s harmonica are for all intents and purposes, inaudible. The drums are very low in the mix as well, and the signal is weak. ” Rags to Riches ” is nice!! The sound quality and mix are very good and Elvis belts this tune out!! I’ve always liked this tune. ” The Sound of Your Cry ” is another favorite of mine. The mix and sound quality are good, the backing vocals are present but the strings have not yet been added. Back to 1971, ” The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face ” is the original duet version with Temple Riser according to the liner notes. The acetate sounds very thin, is vocal heavy and plays fast, and there is a small section that becomes muffled for a few seconds. It is a nice listen though. Back to 1970 for the final track, ” You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me ” is very muffled and has no backing vocals or orchestration. These LPs are very rare and would appeal to even the casual collector, and more so to the hard-core LP collector. These LPs are highly recommended because of the quality of the packaging and material. Given the fact that these were released in the mid 80’s, these LPs represent the most complete collection of undubbed/alternate mix material released till that time. And again the sound quality is very good considering the sources, and the packaging is top notch. They truly are ” Rough Cut Diamonds ”. Ernie Boyes Jr.
