Christmas Duets
CHRISTMAS DUETS
Containing 10 Elvis Christmas songs, where different female artists have sung their vocal to make it sound like a duet.

In addition you will find 3 bonus tracks of Elvis alone. All tracks have been newly re-mastered and also contain overdubbed instruments. Some of the new versions sounds very different, though the integrity is mainly kept. Technically this CD sounds very good!! I certainly would prefer other female artists then featured here, but all the same it is a nice effort.

There is also a Canadian version with one extra duet and different cover.

America
AMERICA
This soundboard CD is taken mainly from the Omaha, April 22 1976 show.

This concert has never been out before, not even on a poorly sounding audience recording. Part of the CD has been taken from Spokane, April 27 1976.

Sound quality is quite good, but the concert itself displays an tired and uninspired Elvis, quite unlike other shows on this short tour.
