August 10, 1970. The MGM camera crew has been following Elvis around for almost a month now. This afternoon, it's time for one final rehearsal before the opening show later tonight. No camera crew allowed this time, but RCA is rolling tape in preparation for the concert recordings. Follow That Dream Records' latest release, Stage Rehearsal, takes us behind the scenes of this event.

One of the things I'd been wondering about this release was how FTD would deal with the fact that most of the songs from this rehearsal were incomplete, due to having a 'late start'. The first several seconds of these songs were not recorded. After all, RCA never intended this rehearsal for release.

The way I saw it, FTD had at least three options:

1.) Leave the recordings alone and let them start in progress -- a bit jarring, but historically accurate
2.) Fade the songs up slightly as they start in progress -- a little less jarring 3.) Repair the beginnings using recordings from other summer 1970 rehearsals -- requires more work and is not historically accurate.

I usually try to avoid reading the opinions of others when I'm planning to review something. That way, my expectations and reactions do not get swayed one way or the other in advance. Sometimes, this is impossible with FTD releases. In the case of 'Stage Rehearsal', I came across a comment revealing that FTD had repaired the beginnings of the songs by using live versions. My initial reaction was shock and dismay. Why would they make such a strange choice? Once I had the actual CD in hand last week, though, and played it for the first time, it became obvious why FTD chose this path. The sound quality of the August 10, 1970, stage rehearsal contained on this CD is comparable to the concert recordings that began later that night and continued for the next few days. To my knowledge, there are no other That's The Way It Is rehearsals that have this level of sound quality. Using subpar sounding rehearsals as lead-ins would have probably been too obvious as splices. Instead, FTD elected to go with the live recordings to more closely match the sound of this rehearsal.

My personal preference would have been that FTD just release the rehearsal as-is, with truncated introductions. This is supposedly a collectors label, after all.

However, I can understand and appreciate their desire to make this a quality listening experience. After all, we were Elvis listeners prior to becoming Elvis historians! In this case, entertainment value won out over historic context. Considering how much I otherwise enjoy this CD, I can forgive them that.
