the 7 studio cuts combined with the live recordings from vegas in january of '72 would've made for a helluva LP.

recorded in march of '72...the same week that Elvis and Priscilla split...Elvis hand picks this gem as the first single release.
one of the most deeply personal and vocally warm tracks he ever put down.

then he turns his attention to the b-side.
matching the warmth and emotion of seperate ways...this dynamite pairing represents his most personal single release.
one of his very best 1-2 punches...ever.

known mostly from his incredible aloha concert...this recording from vegas a year earlier has a real personal warmth.

the lone '72 vegas recording that was used on a album.
this represents the fleshing out of that big,orchestra type sound he was trying to achieve.
he nails it...at home...on this'n.

tho the live performance from aloha stands alone as his singular greatest live performance...this recording from vegas a year earlier was released as a single.
he was working this song out...aloha was the zenith...this one from vegas is the seeds being planted and the soil tilled.

these recordings from '72...both in the studio and from the stage in vegas...stand the test of time as among his very best from this period.

'72...and '73 and '74...represent a moment in time when Elvis rose from legend to icon.
more than anything it was his relentless touring schedule that served as a way to challenge himself musically and re-introduce himself to a younger generation that were coming to see a true living legend.
