In January and February 1970, the King returned to the International Hotel in Las Vegas for another engagement, building on the momentum of his triumphant return to live performance the previous summer. The original program has been rebuilt from multitrack and soundboard sources, with the orchestral layers removed to place the focus on the King and the TCB Band.
On Stage “Justified and Stripped” on SRB Records exclusive 33 RPM lathe-cut vinyl presents curated selections from this legendary engagement in a newly deconstructed mix. With the orchestra removed, the spotlight returns to the King and his core band, revealing the raw energy, tight musicianship, and commanding vocal performance that reveals an artist fully engaged with his band, his audience, and the possibilities of the stage.
This limited edition release is presented as a 12-inch stereo lathe-cut vinyl record, complete with printed labels, jacket, dust cover, and protective cellophane wrapping. Each record is handmade and cut individually in real time. These are bespoke lathe-cut records, not mass-produced pressed vinyl, giving every copy the character of a carefully produced, individually made release.
This record has been mastered specifically for the lathe-cut format. While the finished records are designed to look and feel comparable to quality retail vinyl, the cutting process is different from conventional pressing. Lathe-cut grooves can be shallower than those found on pressed records, which may result in a somewhat higher noise floor and more restricted playback volume.
Some turntables may require minor adjustments to tracking weight or anti-skate settings to achieve the smoothest playback. These are inherent characteristics of the format rather than defects, and are part of what makes each SRB Records lathe-cut a genuinely individual physical release.
