September 18 - 1968 TV Special and 1970 Rehearsal Recordings

The new Alhecode Records import label announced the release of ‘Elvis: The 1968 Tv Special Recordings I & II’ and ‘Elvis: July/August 1970 - The Rehearsals I & II‘. Both sets are fan only releases, include a booklet with photos and recording information and are produced in limited quantities. 

Publicity stated: Alhecode Records presents ‘Elvis: The 1968 TV Special Recordings Volume 1 and 2’, a great collection of alternate recordings from the legendary TV special.

None of these recordings are included on official CDs (like on the official 1968 Comeback boxset), so these are a great addition to make your collection complete. All recordings are presented in the best possible sound! For the first time together on 2 great albums;, outtakes, instrumental versions and radio spots.
