Elvis Presley / Aloha From Hawaii via Satellite

Elvis Presley’s 1973 Honolulu concert was broadcast by satellite around the world and the resulting live album was called Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite.

This was reissued as 2CD set back in 2013 for its 40th anniversary, but a decade later Sony are expanding it even more and are offering a 3CD+blu-ray box set edition.

Previously, the concert was remastered, but this time around the audio (on CD 1) has been newly remixed. The second disc features the rehearsal show (from two days earlier, 12 January 1973) which presumably is the same remixed version from 2013. The third audio disc offers a complete after-show bonus song performance while the blu-ray delivers the TV concert, plus rehearsal concert and bonus songs (it’s not clear if the rehearsal/bonus songs are just audio).

A 2LP gatefold vinyl edition will also be available which contains highlights from the CD box set

Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite will be reissued on 11 August 2023 via Sony’s Legacy Recordings. The CD box is less than £27 via Amazon UK which seems decent value.
