January 09 - Follow That White Knight

The Follow That Dream collectors label announced two new releases for February 15, 2011.


White Night In Vegas


The CD "White Night In Vegas" (title and artwork TBC) features a great complete concert from Elvis’ opening Vegas season in 1969. Elvis received critical acclaim for these shows and now this official release of the August 26, Dinner Show makes it available for fans around the world. 


Ann Moses was a correspondent for the infamous NME and Tiger Beat publications during this magic time and she had the good fortune to meet Elvis and report on the shows. Her unique photos from this season are featured in the package, some published for the first time. The booklet also includes a unique essay written by Ann.  "White Night In Vegas" will be issued as a 5” digipack featuring a 12- page booklet and is mastered by Vic Anesini from the original multi track tapes.


How Great Thou Art


Following on from the great success of FTD’s previous vinyl editions, the label announced the release of "How Great Thou Art" as a limited edition 180 gram 2-LP set. The vinyl edition features all the original masters plus many outtakes. Also included is "Beyond the Reef" that was recorded informally at these sessions. This is the overdubbed version.  



FTD Vinyl Sold Out

The label also announced that the 12" vinyl release "Blue Hawaii" and "Standing Room Only" were sold out and the "Jailhouse Rock" album was low on stock. The set "Writing For The King" and "Live in L.A." will be deleted when stocks are gone.
