Due to a change in FTD’s manufacturing situation, the release date may change but October 11-13 is out target date. An update will follow if this changes. The next batch of releases is set for late November. We will advise of titles within the next few weeks.
“He Touched Me”
In FTD’s “classic album” series we now release the third, and last, of Elvis’ original gospel albums: The Grammy Award winning “He Touched Me” - 2 CDs including the original LP master and, as usual, session outtakes and a 12-booklet with all relevant historical data and illustrations.

Derived from what must have been a full professional 16-track multi track recording, the sound is absolutely great, and Elvis is in top form. The booklet is full of great pictures from the actual show and informative notes. The CD comes in a 7” digi format with a 16 page booklet. Contrary to previous informal information given, please be advised that this is a MONO release.
