October 20 - Re-covered

The AudiRec import-label presented the third cover for their debut-release "Elvis At The Hilton". This time a fan-made cover that came from the discussion on the FECC-forum. The double CD-set contains audience-recordings of the September 2, 1973 3 A.M. and Dinner Show performances.

Released

The Elvis double CD set in the Profile Collection release "Profile" series has been released. 

Product Description:

Had he lived, Elvis Presley would have been 80 years old today. Whether he would still be making and performing music is open to conjecture but, bearing in mind he did little else for the 23 years before he passed away, the odds are high that he would. This unique 2 CD set contains interviews with the King recorded at various times throughout his career, and packaged as it is with a spoken word biography, plus booklets and posters, makes this a must-have item for Elvis fans the world over.

Red Christmas Vinyl

The Delta Music Christmas release "Elvis Christmas Album" was released on vinyl, with an additional CD and MP3 download.

Product Description:
Elvis is King of many things, but above all: King of Music. Christmas was always his favorite time of the year, and it’s no wonder that he put his heart and soul in the Christmas albums he released. The first album (1957) has become one of world’s most sold records and has been awarded platinum many times over. Here, for the first time ever, is that legendary first twelve track Christmas/Gospel LP, reprinted on breath taking beautifyl red vinyl – even more stunning than the 1957 red test pressing. Available in a very limited quantity! The LP comes with a free bonus CD and an MP3 download code.
