The Classic Bootleg Collection Volume 2
From the press-release:
Now available is “The Classic Bootleg Collection Volume 2“ a sublime 6 cd box set with 6 classic Elvis Presley bootleg albums. Again there is chosen for some 50's, 60's and 70's instead of focusing on one time period. This way all will be served! There is a big chance your favorite Elvis bootleg album is presented in this boxset.
These were the albums in the late 1970's and 1980's that fans were longing for, because it presented much better (and rarer!) material than Elvis' own record company released in those days.
This stunning box contains miniature albums of the original releases and includes all the original album tracks, digitally remastered and they now sound better than ever before! Still many of these tracks are unreleased by Elvis' official record company.
Just like on “The Classic Bootleg Collection Volume 1” there are some true gems (or “Rough Cut Diamonds”) to be found on this set! And above all that it will bring back beautiful memories!
Albums in this set are “Elvis' Withcraft Album”, “Rough Cut Diamonds”, “Plantation Rock”, “Elvis On Tour”, “The King Goes Wild” and “Got A Lot O' Livin' To Do!”. All albums contain:
• Original album packaging has been painstakingly restored,
• Original album tracks digitally remastered,
• Including 12 page fully illustrated booklet with insightful commentary,
• Very limited edition.
