Please note that all current CD's and CD-R's with audience recorded Elvis concerts and/or songs originate from cassette-tapes recorded by fans in the audience.
Please note that current CD's and CD-R's are taken from the original LP's or from a better source cassette-tape.
Cassette-tapes, when copied, lose on sound-quality, hence if you are the owner of a cassette-tape that has been copied 6 times and released that on an LP or CD or CD-R, the sound is probably better if you have the 2nd or 1st copy!
