I also pre-ordered it. The price was €22. These Gravel Road releases are more expensive than the usual bootlegs. Still not more expensive than an FTD.
And the FTD's never come with a 28-page booklet... So it's worth its price completely.
I can't wait to get it.

Got mine on pre-order also!! Looks like a good one, and since I've never purchased a release from the Gravel Road label before, I am extra curious to see what it looks like and how it is compared to other import labels!! :hmm:

TCB!

Really?
This is a very good label. They issue only re-releases,so their releases are mainly for newbies who don't own the old bootlegs. It's a great opportunity to own those shows and rehearsals in nice,modern package.
On the other hand,for those who already have the old releases,this label offers nothing new (other than better cover art). The sound is about the same as on the old releases.

Any info on a supplier please guys ?

The cover and logo don't thrill me.
Personally i like it.


The front style of this CD cover has now been done 3-4 times time this year....so that's a bit boring.
Yes,it's a bit boring. It was used on countless releases,including on BMG box-sets like Today,Tomorrow & Forever and Close Up. Not a tragedy,though.


The Elvis-tour-75 font got nothing to with Elvis or Vegas...
Probably you're right,but it's such a nothingness. This label is not perfect,still it's one of the best ones as far as design go.


Maybe the sound is nice but obviously I ask more then just that.
They rarely improve the sound so i have no high expectations. Anyway, this show is new to me, so this CD will be an excellent purchase to make my collection more complete.

Just asked my dealer,he said that he doesn't know the release-date.
But it definitely won't be out in this month. Strange,because it was first advertised on dec. 15th...

Production problems perhaps?? Or maybe with the buzz surrounding the FINAL CURTAIN release, the producers of GTBB decided to wait until the buzz died down before releasing their CD so that it doesn't get lost in the FC publicity?? :hmm:

Just a couple theories... ;)

My guess is the same. I don't understand them,though as TFC copies have already been sold out in december (and most fans paid months before that) so TFC sales wouldn't affect the sales of GTBB imo... But they thought it will be a good idea to wait a few more weeks. Sadly i'm pretty sure that it won't be out before mid-february!
Due to this there will be a long delay in the shipment of my early-january 5 CD's order...as my dealer wants to send them in the same package to save costs. Very unkind thing from Gravel Road.

True, but they probably figured (and rightfully so) that all of the Elvis sites and message boards would be buzzing with reviews and discussions about the FC set, so that is what would probably cause news or reviews on GTBB to be overlooked. :hmm:

i still remember when BAXTER released this and it was advertised in TMAHM , i really couldn't believe that it was going to sound as good as it did and still does , we have had this show on audio tape via ar for years but it remains my fave boot and one i play often. I sure am glad it got a revamp in bookletwise but toobad this wasn't recorded in stereo but i guess mono is as best as we will ever get. If you missed BAXTERS then grab this one its very well done.

DEFINITELY RIGHT!! (y)

Actually, GOOD TO BE BACK is the first import title I've picked up in a while and I;m so glad I did...the improved sound quality and the overall artwork/packaging is top notch!!! :D

A DEFINITE MUST HAVE FOR SURE, even if you already have the earlier releases of this show...the upgraded sound and packaging is well worth the investment!!! :clap:

TCB!
