The label also announced the re-release of the 'Good Times' album on 180 Gr. black vinyl on October 1, 2021.
Synopsis: 'Good Times' is the twentieth studio album by American singer and musician Elvis Presley. He recorded this ten-song album at the Stax studios in Memphis. His great voice is outstanding on both the rock & roll songs as when he's performing with a gospel choir. While his physical condition was going downwards, he was still singing like he used to do in the past. Guitar riffs by James Burton are present on the more country like tracks 'Take Good Care of Her', 'Lovin' Arms', 'Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues' and 'My Boy'. The versatility is shown when he's bringing the Spanish flavour on 'Spanish Eyes'. This is more than a solid outing from 'The King', a wonderful record.
The Glamourama Record label re-issued 'Elvis Is Back' on colored vinyl with an additional 45 RPM single as a bonus.
The Friday Music label re-issued Elvis' classic gospel LP 'His Hand In Mine' on 180 Gr. audiophile vinyl with a poster.
