YOU KNOW, IT DON'T HAVE TO BE STRICTLY COUNTRY VOL.1

Ecco un'anteprima del nuovo CD della Gravel Road Music "You Know, It Don't Have To Be Strictly Country Vol. 1" in uscita nei prossimi giorni.
Secondo il comunicato stampa la qualità dei 22 brani contenuti in questo CD sarà assolutamente incomparabile e ogni singolo brano potrà essere ascoltato sotto una nuova veste, nella sua completezza assoluta e sembrerà che Elvis sia stato ieri in sala di registrazione!
I 22 brani del 1970 sono stati estrapolati da una serie di acetati provenienti da una collezione privata che erano originariamente quelli che venivano dati ad Elvis per l'ascolto privato e per acconsentire all'emissione del brano.
Tutte le tracce sono restaurate digitalmente e rimasterizzate ottenendo il massimo della qualità audio.
Alcune tracce, già a noi familiari ci appariranno nella loro veste completa e potremo quindi ascoltare le parlate in studio, i conteggi, i canali sinistro e destro, i lunghi fade out al termine dei brani ecc.
Il CD sarà accompagnato da un booklet di 20 pagine con note informative sui brani in questione e informazioni generali su Elvis nel 1970.
Prima di fine anno sarà disponibile il secondo volume di "You Know, It Don't Have To Be Strictly Country'!
Tracklisting:

01. Twenty days and twenty nights (Take 9 – Master , undubbed –unedited) Acetate
