December 03 - Let Me Sing ... A little Bit Later On Vinyl

Due to technical reason the new MxF release "Let Me... Sing Again" has been postponed to mid January. The label is sorry for the delay but they will improve the product and it feature more bonuses too according to the update from the label. 

3764 Elvis Presley Blvd.


Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Elvis' last recording sessions at the Jungle Room on 3764 Elvis Presley Blvd.

The legendary Jungle Room sessions from 1976 have delivered some fine fan favorites like "Moody Blue", "Way Down" and "She Thinks I Still Care". Unfortunately these turned out to be Elvis' last recording sessions. 
The untimely death of a music legend was news that shocked the world but delivered the pressing plants some overwork. The Demand for Elvis records was suddenly huge. Moody Blue was re-released on Blue Vinyl and several reprints followed later and reached up to today 2x platinum. 

After the success of the earlier released 2 cd set "3764 Elvis Presley Blvd." the demand for a vinyl version was big. Now to celebrate the 40th anniversary of these recording sessions from 1976 this beautiful vinyl box is released. The set contains 3 high quality vinyl lp's along with a 2 CD set anda full colour LP sized booklet. The vinyl is available in two colors; red and (Moody) Blue. Both sets are very limited to only 200 copies of each color.  Also the two cd set is available again as a digipack.
