Gravel Road will release the CD, 'Good To Be Back', a fantastic release that is every bit as good as their highly acclaimed 'Return of the Prodigy'. The December 13th, 1975 Midnight Show is widely accepted as one of the finest later-period Presley shows available on soundboard. Yes, the punk lounge rock feel of the '69 shows was now gone, but in its place were a warmth and an intimacy that were just as captivating in their own way.

Elvis was in top form vocally in late '75 (just listen to his sensational vocals on 'How Great Thou Art'), and the December 13th, '75 Midnight Show stands out as one of the finest from this engagement. This show was the first soundboard to be released on bootleg back in '91, causing quite a sensation at the time. The technology used for working on vintage recordings has improved greatly in the years since then, and Gravel Road has used the latest version of the renowned Oxford / ProTools technology to work on this show.

The results are it's an obvious sound upgrade that makes this remarkable show shine that much more -- Just like you've come to expect from us with 'Prodigy'. It's also interesting to point out that this release is more complete than the aforementioned '91 release (which had several edits). 

'Good To Be Back' is a title that really captures the sentiment of the show, since Elvis clearly enjoyed being back on stage again following his August '75 hospital stay and subsequent three months of rest. 

He's relaxed and in a great mood, and he delivers several fantastic performances, with one of the highlights being a beautifully sung 'Just Pretend'.
