In August 1969, the King returned to the stage after eight years away from regular live performing. His engagement at the International Hotel in Las Vegas marked the beginning of a new chapter, with the legendary singer stepping back into the spotlight with a confidence, energy, and intensity that had not been seen in years.
For "Justified and Stripped," these performances have been carefully reconstructed and remixed to remove the orchestral elements and bring the King and the musicians surrounding him to the forefront. The result places greater emphasis on the TCB Band and the immediacy of the legendary singer’s voice, offering a fresh perspective on one of the most important periods of his live career.
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.
