The titles have slight changes in the name and on CD content and come in a Digi-Sleeve pack. Each comes with a small booklet. The releases on this specific new label are scaled-down budget version of the previous, priced for the mainstream market. At the same time however, some of the CD’s include newly sourced audio upgrades.
The King in the G.O.A.T.'s Hometown
Publicity stated: Every tour opening concert was special and this one is not an exception. Listen to high spirited Elvis in great voice and good mood. And yes, it was the show that Elvis played in Muhammad Ali hometown!
July 23rd, 1976 concert is previously unreleased. This show is taken from newly found audience recorded tape and was never available in complete form and in listenable sound - until now! Carefully restored and mastered in September 2023, with a focus on preserving the integrity of the original recording. Hence, some minor hiss may be present; we felt it more important to preserve the high frequencies and natural ambience of the original recording.
This CD is packaged in a nicely designed digipack with local press review. All images used for the artwork were taken during July / August 1976 tour.

Christmas Season Opened
Graceland officially "flipped the switch" on Elvis' Christmas lights for another season as hundreds of decorative lights, a life-size nativity scene and Elvis’ Santa all come to life to mark the beginning of the 2023 holiday season at Graceland.
Cancelled
Netflix cancelled the adult animated series 'Agent Elvis' which only ran for one season.
The cancellation stemmed from various reasons, including performance and impact from the strike as the industry evaluates production schedules, scheduling shifts, etcetera. The show didn’t enter the global top 10s following its launch and didn’t appear in a single country’s top 10.
The show had a massive voice cast, including the likes of Matthew McConaughey, Johnny Knoxville, Niecy Nash, Katlin Olson, and Don Cheadle.
Ten episodes were produced in total, dropping on March 17th, 2023 and received relatively good reviews from critics and some controversy among die-hard Elvis fans.
Britanny Vincent for Decider.com was a fan, concluding that “McConaughey’s smooth Southern drawl is the perfect fit for Presley, the animation is fluid and attractive, and the laughs come at you quickly. It’s a raucous good time, and deserves a good, old-fashioned try – even by suspicious minds.”
