Elvis Presley: Lost On Tour (LP)

(Bilko) 8 tracks - unreleased studio recordings

Liner Notes:

The unique recordings presented here for the very first time were made on March 30, 1972, one day after the end of the 'official' re-cording sessions which took place from march 27-29. The March session was filmed by MGM primarily so that part of it could be included in the ON TOUR documentary, which eventually featured both `Seperate Ways' and 'Always On My Mind'. It appears, therefore that these two songs also originated from this 'unofficial' session. This is not so surprising, as neither Elvis nor his musicians would have enjoyed the constant buzzing of cameras while laying down the goods for future records releases.

The takes featured on this new Bilko release are the result of many hours of painstaking editing. The rough unedited material originated from a MGM working tape a cue tape as it is known to insiders. On the unedited tape constant interruptions and directions from the filmdirector to his camera-crew can be heard over Elvis' singing. Because of this several takes of the featured songs had to left lying in the cutting-room. However, what was left and fit for release in an Elvis collectors dream come true. With the exception of 'A Big Hunk 0' Love' all the takes presented here are without any of the distracting comments made by the filmdirector and his crew.

In order to edit out all the bad parts we have sometimes had to leave out a few bars of an intro as- well. Such is the case with the piano intro to take 1 of Tor The Good Times', which has Elvis jokingly singing 'Don't look so bad, put on some make-up'. Before this we only had a 'live' version, recorded at Madison Square Garden. The studio version is remarkably different! On the first take Elvis sings solo while on the next, incomplete, take Charlie Hodge joins in to sing some harmony parts. `Lead Me, Guide Me' is very close to the version which can be heard and seen in ON TOUR. The Stamps are joined by Elvis on 'Sweet, Sweet Spi-rit' . Elvis then sings lead vocals on the beautiful gospel song 'Nearer My God, To Thee', never heard performed by Elvis before! After the gospel-jam it's time for some down to earth rock 'n roll when Elvis and the band attack 'Burning Love' .

Not as tight as the hit-single version recorded on March 28, but still a great track ending in a long 'hunka-hunka-Burning Love' finale. From the fast-paced 'Burning Love' it's back to the third and final take of Tor The Good Times' . A complete version, in which Elvis is once again accompanied by Hodge for the harmony. This is followed by Elvis fool-ing around with a few lines of the Marty Robbins Country classic Thl Paso' . The final two songs on this release were performed during most of the concerts from '72 and onwards. `A Big Hunk 0' Love' (take 1) is pure dynamite with James Burton show-ing once again why he is called the greatest rock 'n roll guitar picker around.

Eat your heart out, Chuck! `You're on your own Ronnie', Elvis comments, and a heavy drum-roll introduces 'See See Rider', a delivery as tight as Elvis' 68 leather suit! No horns on this take, just The Man and his band cookin' it up! During a session-break Elvis sat down for a quiet conversation with the filmdirector and a member of the Stamps. What followed was one of the very few occasions Elvis talked about his musical roots and gospel music in particular, a fitting conclusion to a fine piece of Presleyana.
