Description
A powerful early‑70s UK 7‑inch single from Elvis Presley, released in 1972 and showcasing one of his most dramatic live arrangements of the era. Pressed as a 45 RPM single, this release captures the rich, orchestral sound of Presley’s Las Vegas period, blending gospel, folk and patriotic themes into a sweeping performance.
Side A features “An American Trilogy”, running at 4:23, a medley arranged by Mickey Newbury and delivered by Elvis with full orchestral backing — a standout moment from his early‑70s live shows. Side B offers “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”, a tender, expressive recording that highlights the softer side of Presley’s vocal range during this period.
A strong addition for collectors of Elvis singles, early‑70s RCA releases, or live‑era Presley recordings. RCA2229
