STANDING ROOM ONLY FTD 2

[쿤타킨테]

Standing Room Only is the album that could and should have been released in 1972. Now 47 years later we finally get a concept release from FTD allowing us to enjoy what could easily have been Elvis' biggest selling album of the 1970s. With these masters - in superb sound quality - we are reminded where Elvis was at musically in the spring of 1972 - with strong commercial potential such as 'Burning Love' and 'Always On My Mind' RCA had enough tracks for the theoretical 'Standing Room Only' album plus for another pre-album single release if needed. And just imagine if 'For The Good Times' was released in 1972 instead of 1996!

Standing Room Only was first announced - on the front cover for the single release 'An American Trilogy' in April 1972. In addition to this track being featured on he album, the advertising banner also stated that it was summer release and that it was recorded live.

What the exact final content of the album would have been is not known and a sequenced track listing never formally existed although a selection number was ssued: LSP 4762.

'Standing Room Only' was the tentative title for a new ocumentary that M.G.M. started filming at the end of arch 1972 and when it was finally released in November, it premiered as Elvis On Tour.
