A Memphis Christmas


As per tradition, the Danish Memphis Mansion is releasing a new Christmas vinyl again this year. Because there is no Christmas without Elvis. Due early November 2022.


The LP 'Elvis Presley - I´ll Be Home For Christmas' is limited to 300 copies on colored vinyl. The color is still a surprise at the moment. 


As a little extra Christmas present this year, 'I'll Be Home For Christmas' comes in stereo. Also as a little surprise the songs 'White Christmas’ and ‘Don’t’ now have studio chatter and count in before the take. 


Side A: Treat Me Nice - Blue Christmas - My Wish Came True - White Christmas - Here Comes Santa Claus - Silent Night


Side B: Don´t - O Little Town Of Bethlehem - Santa Bring My Baby Back (To Me) - Santa Claus Is Back In Town - I´ll Be Home For Christmas (Stereo Version)
