Elvis Presley - cover

Here it is, the fourth special edition in this series, to feature an entire studio album. The CD set contains, beside the original album, several released and unreleased outtakes and alternates from this great recording session. My personal favourites are the dry reverb tapes without the echo added to the recordings. The compilation is packed in a beautiful double-folding 7” digipak and comes with a 16 page booklet, containing many photographs and rare collectibles. Released in July 2006.
Value: 25 - 35 US$
