Million Dollar Session

The Danish Memphis Mansion re-issued the 'Million Dollar Session' on red colored vinyl. All audio was restored and remastered for a double LP release, to preserve it at a higher resolution rather than compressing it down to make it for a single album. 

During the mastering the team identified a song not previously catalogued, 'Mr. Sandman'. Together with the strong design, using the original tape-box cover, this is the most historically accurate release of the 'Million Dollar Session'. 

The label also announced a 'Purple Gang Edition' of their recent 'Vince Everett  - Jailhouse Rock' single box-set on purple vinyl and a 'Chain Gang' Edition on black and white swirled vinyl.

The expanded 2-CD edition of the 'ELV1S 30 #1 Hits' compilation - which includes the 'Elvis 2nd To None' compilation, was released by Sony Legacy.
