June 23 - December in June

The only known available soundboard recording from Elvis’ last Vegas season, originally released on " Run On"  in 1997, will be re-issued with the new title " December 07 1976". 

From the press-release:
Now newly remastered and for the first time available in the right speed! Please note: This show was first released on the cd "Run On" in 1997. Although this is a soundboard recording, the sound quality is not very good. Whilst the sound quality is disappointing for a soundboard, the unusual circumstances of this show make it worthwhile to listen to. Now you can hear this show for the first time on cd in remastered sound and in the right speed! Including: "You Better Run" and "Bosom Of Abraham" Plus 8 great bonus tracks! Including 8 pages booklet with photos and recording information.
