Comments

Quality

"This record, apparently from Italy comes in a very nice custom color cover. The front cover uses MAIT graphics and the picture of Elvis with a cigarette from TRUST innersleeve. The back cover features a high quality color solo photo with an acoustic guitar. The disc labels are the picture of Elvis in the straw hat from Imperial Bedroom. Very nice packaging indeed and in much better taste than “Best of – The Man”.
Cover states “Recorded somewhere in the frontseats on November 11, 1984 Teatro Olimpico, Rome, Italy”.
Sound quality is better than average cassette recorder. My copy crackles. This is the only boot of a solo show so far.
PS this show actually took place on Nov. 20, 1984."
- Review in ECIS.

  • Very good audience tape. What this LP lacks in sound quality it makes up for in spirit & feeling. The versions of Love Field, Man Out Of Time & Worthless Thing are especially good. Highly recommended - Mark Bartlett
