Get ready to behold the most ambitious Elvis Presley restoration package ever created! The deluxe edition of this new set takes us back to 1970, when Elvis fans were thrilled to welcome a new album and a new full-length concert/documentary by their hero, both titled "Elvis: That’s the Way It Is." The 2 DVDs here bring you the original theatrical version of the film with outtakes, plus the re-edited extended version (2000) that includes Elvis career highlights, a restoration featurette and more. You’ll witness Elvis’s remarkable transformation from Memphis rock ’n’ roller to Las Vegas entertainer extraordinaire, with loads of on-stage, off-stage and behind-the-scenes footage. And the 8 CDs? They begin with the original album (eight studio tracks and four 1970 Vegas performances) plus single versions and outtakes. The Legacy edition here includes that plus the August 12, 1970, dinner show (six shows were recorded and partially filmed by MGM). Those two discs include four versions each of "Patch It Up," "You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me" and "I’ve Lost You," three versions each of "The Next Step Is Love" and "Bridge over Troubled Water," two versions each of "How the Web Was Woven," "I Just Can’t Help Believin’" and "You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’," live performances of "That’s All Right," "Mystery Train/Tiger Man," "Can’t Help Falling in Love," "Polk Salad Annie," "Sweet Caroline," "Love Me Tender" and more. The six further deluxe-edition discs add the remaining August 10–13 concerts plus a CD of rehearsals, bringing you unreleased performances of "I Got a Woman," "I Can’t Stop Loving You" and "Suspicious Minds" plus a wealth of other classics and covers by Elvis at the most inspiringly rejuvenated point in his career. Go deluxe to flip through an 80-page book of rare photos, memorabilia, full session info. and new liner notes! Sony Legacy.
