December 13 - First In Line For New Releases

The MfX import label announced the release of the “Ultimate Edition” box-set of their “First In Line Volume 2” title. This box, limited to 18 copies, contains two previously unreleased audience-recordings of the January 30, 1974 Midnight Show and the February 8, 1974 Dinner Show performances on vinyl and CD. 

The box comes in two variations on blue, green white and black vinyl with a personalized back-cover, an A4-sized poster and certificate, sticker, doorhanger (for undisturbed Elvis Presley listening pleasure) and a digipack holding the two CDs. 

Elvis 85 Released


Sony Music Germany released the 3-CD set “Elvis 85” in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The first edition of 15.000 copies comes as a “Bravo Edition” in a digi-pack with a 24 page booklet. 

From the press-release:
January 2020 would be the 85th birthday of the King Of Rock 'n' Roll. Now the first One-Artist BRAVO-Edition will be released in cooperation with the cult brand BRAVO and only in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

The elaborate 3CD set contains all the great hits and many rarities that make the product unique. The booklet partly contains photos and excerpts from the BRAVO archive. The former BRAVO editor-in-chief Alex Gernandt (special member of the German Elvis Presley Society, writes the preface and looks back on the unique career of Elvis Presley.

The official and authorized Elvis 85 product (Sony Music, RCA USA) is certainly one of the most extraordinary products and can be called a rarity even before its release. This title will therefore be sold out very quickly.

  • The unique 3CD album for the 85th birthday of Elvis!
  • 63 tracks, all hits and rarities as well as selected pearls like My Way and Hey Jude
  • Official BRAVO Edition and first ONE Artist BRAVO ever!
  • Limited first edition of 15k in an elaborate digipack.
  • The best of all times for the German-speaking area!
