- The Hot Stamper debut of this 2-LP release, here with roughly Double Plus (A++) grades or BETTER on all FOUR sides of these vintage pressings
- Side one and side four were sonically very close to our Shootout Winner – you will be shocked at how big and powerful the sound is
- Composed of two full albums: Elvis In Person At The International Hotel Las Vegas, Nevada and Elvis Back In Memphis
- Rock and roll energy to spare (particularly on sides one, three and four), the kind you will be hard-pressed to find on any modern Heavy Vinyl reissue these days
- Brimming with Elvis classics: “Blue Suede Shoes,” “All Shook Up,” “Hound Dog,” “I Can’t Help Falling In Love,” “Suspicious Minds” – so many of The King’s best songs are here
- Problems in the vinyl are sometimes the nature of the beast with these vintage LPs – there simply is no way around them if the superior sound of vintage analog is important to you
- 4 1/2 stars: “Easily the King’s best live album, In Person at the International Hotel featured a slew of hits, . . . Regardless of what they’re playing, the band really rock throughout.”
- “History has placed [the] ten tracks [of Elvis Back In Memphis] as mere outtakes to the great ‘From Elvis In Memphis’…but a closer inspection not only reveals ten great tracks but one of the most cohesive records Elvis ever delivered.”
