Customer Reviews (5.0 / 5 · 5 reviews)

George J. ★★★★★

I grabbed this mainly for the rehearsal takes, and hearing Elvis crack up and restart a song three times is worth the price alone. The three discs are packed with over an hour of stuff that never made it out before.

Emily ★★★★★

The remixed audio really brings these sessions to life, and getting over an hour of previously unreleased material is a treat for any fan. It's like hearing these songs fresh again.

Ryan U. ★★★★★

Three discs of false starts and breakdowns might sound like overkill, but hearing Elvis crack up mid-take is worth it alone. The hour of unreleased material is the real draw here, not just another repackage.
