Just released in the 6 CD set "Silver Screen Treasures 1965 - 1969". From the press-release:

With 5 individual jewelcases, packed in lp sized box including oversized booklet this set will bring you back to the old days of cd/vinyl packaging. Something deluxe! In this second volume a sixth disc is included with uncut session parts, an interesting listening! 

This release features mostly alternate versions from all of Elvis movie sessions during 1965-1969. A fantastic release with a lot of surprises, in a fantastic sound and running order. Disc  5 contains mostly transfers directly from acetates, those were cut straight after or during the sessions, without any altering, mixing or overdubs. A very limited edition so get it while you can.
