March 17 - From Florida To Hawaii To Japan

Following hot on the heels of the sold out 'Presley - The Essential 50's Masters', the French RDM-Edition record label announced the release of the new 'Mono II Stereo'CD titled 'From Florida To Hawaii'.

Publicity stated: This new album features newly created Stereo mixes of the 'Follow That Dream' Mono Masters in a mix that will match the sound of the Stereo Out-takes we know. 

Added to those soundtrack songs, are newly mixed Stereo Versions of the 'Girls!, Girls!, Girls!' album remixed to give a more authentic and immersive Stereo listening experience. 

In the original RCA mix all the instruments were left channel, Elvis middle and only The Jordanaires right channel. Songs like 'Return To Sender' always sounded very week in the original stereo mix. This has at last been rectified. With the rhythm section blasting the track along from the centre, everything sounds so much better. 

Check out the trailer (wacht it in full-screen Hi-Fi :-))
