Elvis Presley returned to television on Dec. 3, 1968 when his NBC SPECIAL
was aired. This show, which had been taped on two days - June 27 and 29
at four concerts, was the begining of his so-called "comeback".
Although he recorded countless numbers of songs in the two June shows, only
a few have actually been released since. It is with great pleasure that
this collection will enable fans to hear more of what was recorded, but
never released.
It begins with the famous house of prostitution scene that was cut out of the
final taping for obvious reasons. It is most unfortunate because,
after listening to Elvis belt out "Let Yourself Go" (with accompaniment most
likely by one of The Blossoms), one can suspect that he was giving one of
the best performances of his life.
Later he does the now classic song "It Hurts Me" together with one of the
most unusual Elvis instrumental breaks ever heard. The gospel medley
is slightly different from the released version and especially at the begining
and end.
