THAT'S THE WAY IT IS

Limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on transparent 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Thats The Way It Is is Elvis 12th studio album, consisting of eight studio tracks recorded at the RCA studios in Nashville and four songs performed live at The International Hotel in Las Vegas. It accompanied the theatrical release of the eponymous documentary film, although it is not generally considered a soundtrack album. Added to this definitive 4LP legacy edition are four single sides from the period and a selection of fly-on-the-wall outtakes from the June Nashville sessions that produced the majority of tracks for the LP. Disc 3 and 4 feature the first complete release of a concert from Elvis 1970 Summer Season recorded on August 12. The 20-page booklet features an insightful essay, photos and memorabilia.
