Label: ReelTrax

The Legendary 1974 “Summer Festival” Rehearsal – Like You’ve Never Heard It Before

The renowned ReelTrax label returns with another top-tier Elvis release — and this time, it’s focused on one of the most famous rehearsals in Elvis Presley’s career: the August 16, 1974 rehearsal for his Las Vegas “Summer Festival” engagement.

Yes, it’s been released before — but you won’t believe your ears when you hear this new ReelTrax edition!
Thanks to the latest state-of-the-art studio technology, the producers have achieved an incredibly balanced, detailed, and powerful sound that finally does justice to both the musicianship and Elvis’ passionate vocal performance.

Remixed, Speed-Corrected, and Better Than Ever

Earlier editions of this rehearsal suffered from major sound issues — most notably, the volume of the music dropping drastically whenever Elvis began to sing. This new version completely eliminates that flaw, offering a perfectly balanced mix that keeps the energy alive from start to finish.

Additionally, the entire recording has been speed-corrected.For the first time, we can hear the session as it truly was — not a slow, tired Elvis, but a fully engaged performer enjoying the creative process with his band.

The result: a fresh, dynamic, and historically significant listening experience that brings this rehearsal vividly to life.

Now Also Available on Vinyl!

After the success of the 2-CD release, ReelTrax now proudly presents Heading Down To Sunset Boulevard on vinyl for the very first time.
Available in two beautiful editions:
