September 06 - Follow That Dream October

The Follow That Dream collector's label announced three new titles for October 2015; 2 albums on CD and one limited vinyl album. “Live A Little, Love A Little" is a new release in the "Classic Album" series. It comes in a 7 inch digipack with booklet.  Due to the fact that there are only four songs in the movie, this is a single disc with selected outtakes (track listing not final yet).

The label also announced "Elvis In West Texas" containing the evening show in Ector County Coliseum in Odessa from May 30, 1976. A thoroughly great show with repertoire highlights in “Help Me Make It Through The Night”, “It’s Now Or Never”, “See See Rider” and the talk about Odessa following it, are from the afternoon show the same day. A short piece of the introductions was not recorded. It is packaged in a digipack 5 inch format with a 12-page booklet of 1976 photos. 

Continuing on from the excellent Follow That Dream vinyl editions, FTD is pleased to announce the release of “Moody Blue” in its original discarded art layout for the first time. 

Moody Blue is the final studio album by Elvis Presley. The album was a mixture of live and studio work, and included the four tracks from Presley's final studio recording sessions in October 1976 and two tracks left over from the previous Graceland session in February 1976. "Moody Blue" was a previously published hit song recorded at the earlier Graceland session and held over for this album. Also recorded at the February session was "She Thinks I Still Care". "Way Down" became a hit after Presley's death less than one month after this album's publication.

To create a unique collectible, it is issued in clear vinyl and each. Pressing is hand numbered. This edition is limited to 1500.
