March 30, 2023
Having just concluded an immensely successful sell-out tour in April, that was filmed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer for the 1972 documentary Elvis On Tour, confidence in Elvis' camp was high as all four shows at New York's Madison Square Garden were sold out along with the rest of the June tour. Any reticence that Elvis may still have had about performing in the Big Apple were soon allayed as the noise from the MSG audiences was deafening. Summing up the triumph, The New York Times 'Arts and Leisure' headline read 'Like A Prince From Another Planet'.
Elvis As Recorded at Madison Square Garden featuring the evening show on June 10 was rush-released later in the month, and sold a million copies in the U.S. in a matter of weeks. Total U.S. sales to date are now in excess of 3 million thereby achieving triple-platinum status. The afternoon show was eventually issued by RCA in 1997, 20-years after Elvis' passing, as An Afternoon In The Garden.
This belated 50th Anniversary FTD edition celebrates these legendary shows with newly mixed versions of both shows by Memphian recording engineer Matt-Ross Spang. Disc 3 features the original press conference recorded at the New York Hilton, June 9.
Packaged in our 'sessions' style 8" x 8" slipcase, this deluxe 3-CD contains a 20-page color booklet, great photos, memorabilia, press conference transcript and recollections by the late Phil Gelormine.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
