December 11 - Follow That Release

The Follow That Dream Collector's label released the November / December 2011 releases. "Chicago Stadium" a 2 CD soundboard consisting of above average sound quality and features Elvis in absolutely great form packaged on a 5" gatefold digi pack with an 8-page booklet with many photos from the shows on October 14/15, 1976. The track numbers on disc 1 do not match the song line-up. 'See, See Rider' is shown on the cover as track 1, but on the disc it is actually track 2. And by the time you get to the 'Closing Vamp' you are two numbers out. 'Closing Vamp' listed as track 22 but actually track 24. 
Disc Two is one behind from track 12 onwards, it should be 'What'd I Say/Johnny B. Goode' but is 'Early Mornin' Rain'. It seems those medleys cause track point issues for FTD but that can't be used as an excuse on disc 1.


"Jailhouse Rock Vol. 2" a 2 CD set in the Classic Album Movie Soundtrack series (or EP in this case) that complements its previous volume. It features all the missing outtakes for 6 great songs. The 7" inch digi-pack format features a 12-page booklet with great photographs and rare memorabilia. 


And finally a limited edition vinyl re-issue of the "Viva Las Vegas" soundtrack;  a 2LP Limited Edition 12" double vinyl, supplied in a high quality gatefold sleeve, the album features the original masters and many outtakes. Previously unreleaqsed versions on this set are "If you think I don't need you" take 2 an "The lady loves me" take 2.
