January 26 - For Colored LP Fans Only

The Music On Vinyl record label re-issued Elvis' 1959 'For LP Fans Only' album as a Limited edition of 2,500 individually numbered copies on translucent blue colored 180 Gr. vinyl, housed in a heavyweight sleeve with gloss laminate finish.

Description: After Elvis Presley was drafted into the army in 1958, it was not possible for him to do any new live film performances for two years. His manager and record company had to get creative and collected various singles from the period 1954 to 1956 and put out many of these songs on 12" for the first time. The result was an amazing overview, titled For LP Fans Only, of some of Elvis' best moments of the 1950's with songs like "That's All Right" and "You're A Heartbreaker".

Mono II Stereo

The Memphis Mansion record label announced the release of a vinyl edition of ‘From Elvis at Sun - Mono II Stereo'.

The album contains the original ten tunes released by SUN records, with others later released by RCA.

The bonus tracks on this vinyl album are ‘I Love You Because’ (RCA edit master), and ‘That’s All Right’ live from the Louisiana Hayride, 16th October 1954. Those two tracks were not available on the CD release of this album.

The label also re-issued their edition of the 'Million Dollar Quartet' on colored vinyl.
