What have The Netherlands and The USA in common? Well, they're both in the proud possession of Crown Jewels. Yes, you did read it well. Though the Dutch Crown Jewels are claimed to be for the head of
our own queen or king, every Elvis Fan can get a hold of his or her own Crown Jewels too.
The cover leads us through the descriptions of the songs, along with a whole bunch of beautiful pictures. That fact on itself is a real unique thing, cause where do you find such beautiful pics and
precious information in the bootleg booklets?
RCA / BMG missed another opportunity here for releasing one of the nest recording sessions ever done by an artist. However, 8 songs have already been found on the There's Always Me 2nd and 3rd part,
that doesn't mean this CD is less worth it's weight in gold. If there's one bootleg you can afford to buy this year, it really should be this one. I don't go deeper into facts and songs here, cause that may be well known by
everyone of you. But I can't leave out the remarks of good sound quality, I mean, superb sound quality and the wonderful build up of the songs. It's really great to hear Elvis struggle with the songs and make them is own, as if
they were self-written.
1969, Elvis was back in the studio's, and this CD proves it, he still had the jewels in his pants, all along.
The best 19 songs of the American Sound session are presented here in alternate, undubbed takes. And all of that in an excellent sound quality. Sergeant Bilko did it again!
