RCA e Legacy Recordings ne celebrano il 40° anniversario con una versione in doppio CD, includendo brani mai inseriti nel vinile originale (per ragioni di spazio fisico del vinile) più materiale inedito. Il secondo CD include, per la prima volta, una registrazione recentemente ritrovata delle prove del concerto tenutesi il 18 marzo 1974, due giorni prima dello storico live che segnò il ritorno a Memphis del Re. L’ultima volta che si era esibito lì, era il 1961.
Nel cofanetto – in uscita il 18 marzo prossimo – anche un libretto di 24 pagine con foto rare e inedite.
