September 03 - New Design

The Follow That Dream label created a new design for the "American Sound Studio '69" 5 CD set which is due at the end of this month. The material of this set was released in digital format last August.

This is what the graphic designer of the set, Jimmy Carpenter, published on his Facebook page. 

"I am very happy to announce my design work for the upcoming Sony Music/FTD five disc, deluxe boxed set of "Elvis - American Sound 1969." My design and layout work consists of the outer slipcase box, five panel disc portfolio, 28-page booklet and the CD disc faces/labels. 

Elvis' Memphis American Sound Studio sessions produced many single hits for Elvis, including "Suspicious Minds," "In The Ghetto," "Don't Cry Daddy," "Rubberneckin'" and "Kentucky Rain," along with the "From Elvis In Memphis" and "Back In Memphis" albums. Between 1969 and 1976, these recordings appeared on RCA Victor (with orange and tan labels), RCA Camden, RCA International, and RCA's "Pure Gold" series, so I used those labels for the five discs (the "Pure Gold" series label omitted the word "Victor").

Taylor Swift‘s seventh studio album Lover continues to break records.
According to Billboard, the Grammy winner, 29, now ties Elvis Presley for the 10th-most Top 10's on the Billboard Hot 100 chart after her song “Lover” rose to #10 during its second week of release. Swift’s touching ballad is her 25th song to hit the Top 10, and her latest single, “You Need to Calm Down,” is still ranking at #4.
