Legacy Recordings and RCA Records will release the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann’s EPiC: Elvis Presley In Concert on 20 February.
The collection of 27 recordings features updated mixes of iconic Elvis Presley live performances alongside new remixes and medleys of classic recordings.
The soundtrack release will accompany the theatrical premiere of EPiC: Elvis Presley In Concert, coming to theatres with a one-week exclusive IMAX on 20 February, followed by a global theatrical release from NEON and Universal Pictures International on 27 February. EPiC: Elvis Presley In Concert delivers a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience in which Elvis sings and tells his story like never before.
Treasure Trove
While making his 2022 film Elvis, Luhrmann and his team uncovered a treasure trove of long-hidden film negatives and footage in the Warner Brothers vaults, originally captured for the documentary films Elvis: The Way It Is (chronicling his August 1970 residency in Las Vegas) and Elvis On Tour (shot throughout his 1972 concerts across the US), as well as never before seen 8mm footage and never before heard audio of Elvis speaking about his life.
Luhrmann and his team spent years restoring this material, collaborating with Academy Award nominee Jonathan Redmond, Peter Jackson’s Park Road Post Production as well as many others. What was revealed apart from Presley’s iconic, one of a kind performance energy was the man behind the myth “totally at ease on stage, able to feel the true love of his fans and communicate himself with an intimacy and humanity, unlike any other artist,” as Luhrmann describes.
Says Luhrmann of the inspiration behind the new medleys and remixes on the album, “We were constantly asking ourselves, what would Elvis do if he were around? How might he experiment, where might he go? He was always a musical searcher, looking for different flavours and sounds.”
