It was very expansive to rent the satellite for one hour, so Colonel Parker went to NBC, because they owned the satellite, actually it was their recording company. So they cut the deal and it was the first one ever. Elvis was a nervous wreck. But as he went along rehearsing, and enjoying Hawaii, he became very comfortable with it.
The thing about it, when you go on a satellite show, you go on stage at a certain time and you got to get off at a certain time, otherwise they will just cut you off, the satellite will cut you off after one hour. So the hardest part that Elvis was worried about, was to time it right.

But as we all know it went along perfectly. It was an unbelievable performance, it was all for charity, and he was very comfortable when he walked on stage. He did a great job, looked fabulous.

This is a pretty good 3-CD set that most Jim Reeves fans will probably enjoy. It's a great buy for 75 tracks as well. The sound quality is pretty good in general, not quite as good as "The Real Jim Reeves" set that was also issued recently by Sony, though.
There is some minor distortion on a few tracks but nothing major, and most people probably won't even notice it.
On the downside, the song selection from track to track is sometimes not the best. Monophonic 50's honky-tonk country songs and other older mono material is interspersed with Jim's polished and intimate stereo performances from the early 's, which can be quite annoying. I think most of us are Jim Reeves fans based largely on his recording career, "the stereo years", and also because of the many well-produced overdubbed songs and albums that were issued after his death.
I sometimes listen to the honky-tonk material from the 50's, but it is generally inferior to the later material.
I personally would be fine without any of the pre material on this set, which I find myself skipping over when it comes on. It was recorded before Jim Reeves found his true element. One very bizarre track included on this set is the song "Railroad Bum".
I like the song, but I was playing this in my car and thought something went wrong with my player, then wondered if the company had put in a recording by a different singer by mistake. The producers of this CD sped up the recording, reducing the running time to cut about 10 seconds from total time, and Jim's voice is so fast and higher-pitched that it doesn't sound like him, especially sandwiched between two slower tempo tracks, "The Mighty Everglades" and "The Tie That Binds".
Except for these minor annoyances, this is in general a good set. I'd still recommend "The Real Jim Reeves" first though, that one has the recordings that are generally in chronological order of when they were recorded, superior mastering and sound quality, and is also an excellent buy.
Very good buy for your money. Very Happy, I would highly recommend this CD collection. One person found this helpful. I like to listen to music when I am working at the computer. When I loaded the first two discs on the computer the titles where all wrong. I had to spend time editing 50 song titles and the album name too.
