SR Double LP Special Product

Rockin’ in Georgia (SR Records).
An ambitious project aimed at highlighting Elvis's rock side in the 1970s. We decided to begin, in our humble opinion, with the best rocking single: Promised Land.

This new SR release will feature a first LP dedicated to an analysis of the song, tracing its development from the studio to the stage. At the same time, the second disc presents the first show of the April 1975 tour—surely one of the best of the year—recorded in Macon, Georgia, on April 24, 1975.

The first vinyl is cut at 45RPM, allowing listeners to enjoy an incredibly sharp sound while exploring the evolution of the song. The second vinyl presents a soundboard recording of the Macon show. It was previously released on CD, but this is the first time on vinyl, remastered from the analog mono source to deliver a vastly superior sound. The glossy gatefold edition will be accompanied by a bonus 30x30 cm glossy photo. A must-have!

SR intends to present Elvis at the peak of his abilities. His December 1973 recording of Promised Land, combined with the April 1975 Macon show, undoubtedly captures the best moments of both years—showing him at the top of his game with a great studio session and a great live performance. As the title suggests, Rockin’ in Georgia showcases Elvis with a renewed rock attitude.

Quoting Cash Box: “Elvis really hits home.” Without doubt, his take on Chuck Berry confirms Elvis’s ever-present ability to transform a song into something unique. The Macon concert reveals a rediscovered Elvis who, though overweight, faces the stage with a revitalized rock spirit.

The show is strong, built around a solid set of recently recorded songs, well-performed. Elvis’s range remains impressive, but here his rocking side is finally dominant. The rocking trilogy—1972’s Burning Love, 1974’s Promised Land, and his later single T-R-O-U-B-L-E—together with the autobiographical My Boy, without doubt represent the highlights of the concert.
