October 02 - New Bootleg Material

Four new LP / CD sets have been released: ‘Elvis In June  - Uniondale ‘73’ featuring all four shows Elvis gave at the Nassau Veteran Coliseum in Uniondale New York, the ‘How Great Thou Art as Sung by Elvis’ double LP / CD featuring the original album in Mono along with numerous outtakes, the ‘Toledo Saturday Night‘ LP / CD featuring a Matrix recording of the April 23, 1977 show in Toledo and ‘From Elvis With Love’ featuring 20 love songs in an Alternate Version. 
 
Publicity for ‘Elvis In June - Uniondale ‘73’ stated:
 Out now is this beautiful 4-CD-set. This set features all 4 shows Elvis gave at the Nassau Veteran Coliseum in Uniondale New York in 1973. 

These audience-recorded shows have been meticulously remastered and are undoubtedly the finest versions of these performances to date. The four concerts were part of a two-week tour that traveled from Mobile, Alabama, to Atlanta, Georgia. 

During this tour, Elvis gave 17 performances. Apart from these four shows, Elvis would only return to the Nassau Coliseum once more on July 19, 1975.
 
These four performances by Elvis in Uniondale rank among the finest he delivered in 1973. This wonderful 10-panel digipack CD release is now available in a very limited quantity.

October 01 - Music On Vinyl

The Music on Vinyl record label released the second batch of their 15 titles re-issue program which "will surely make any Elvis fans’ heart skip a beat" according to the press release. The new titles are 'From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee', 'That’s The Way It Is' and 'Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite'

The next three releases in the Music On Vinyl re-issue program will be 'Loving You', 'Recorded Live on Stage In Memphis' and 'Elvis 2nd To None'. These albums should be available November 21, 2025. 

Publicity stated: 'From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee' was recorded at the King’s home studio and turned out to be the penultimate studio recording before tragically passing away way too early, in 1977. 

This title will be available as a Music on Vinyl webshop Exclusive Edition on purple and red marbled vinyl, and as a standard edition on orange colored vinyl.

Just a few months after the release of 'That’s The Way It Is'. Elvis would start his long-standing gig at The International Hotel, marking the start of his much-mythologized Vegas period and cementing his 1968 comeback. This title will be available as a Music on Vinyl webshop exclusive edition on red and silver marbled vinyl, and as a standard edition on red colored vinyl.

Finishing off this trio is maybe his most ambitious record: the 4-LP legacy edition of 'Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite'. The concert recording is featured on the first two discs and the two additional records contain a newly mixed version of the dress rehearsals for the show plus five unreleased bonus tracks. 

To top it off, a 24-page booklet with liner notes and photos is included. This title will be available as a Music On Vinyl webshop Exclusive Edition on blue, white and black marbled vinyl, and as a standard edition on yellow colored vinyl.

Details  'From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee': A year before his tragic death, Elvis Presley recorded a few songs in the recording studio set up in his famous Graceland mansion. In the end, ten songs made it on this record which would turn out to be the second to last studio recording he would make before tragically passing away way too early in 1977. 

It became Presley's fourth album to reach #1 on the Billboard country music album sales chart in four years and includes “Hurt”, a top 10 hit on both the country and adult contemporary charts. On October 10 1977 the album was certified Gold by the RIAA after surpassing 500.000 in sales.  

'From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee' is now available as a limited edition of 500 individually numbered copies on 180 gram audiophile purple marbled vinyl and as a  Limited edition of 2,000 individually numbered copies on 180 gram audiophile orange colored vinyl, housed in a Deluxe sleeve with linen laminate finish.

The LP is available from >>> Bennies Fifties.

Details 'That’s The Way It Is is': Elvis Presley’s 12th studio album, consists of eight studio tracks recorded at the RCA studios in Nashville and four songs performed live at The International Hotel in Las Vegas. It accompanied the theatrical release of the eponymous documentary film, although it is not generally considered a soundtrack album. Just a few months after the release of the record Elvis would start his long-standing gig at The International Hotel, marking the start of his much-mythologized Vegas period which his lush jumpsuits symbolized. While he would record much more great songs after this, it’s with this album that he was able to capitalize on his 1968 comeback. 

'That’s The Way It Is' is available as a limited edition of 500 individually numbered copies on 180 gram audiophile red and silver marbled vinyl and as a limited edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on 180 gram audiophile red vinyl, housed in a Deluxe sleeve with linen laminate finish.

The LP is available from >>> Bennies Fifties.

Details 'Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite: This new edition is a 4LP set consisting of the famed 1973 TV broadcast of Elvis Presley's legendary performance on the tropical island which represented yet another major landmark in his remarkable career. In keeping with the original 2LP issue, the concert recording is featured on the first two discs. 

Now here's the VIP part of the program: the two additional records contain a newly mixed version of the dress rehearsals for the show + 5 unreleased bonus tracks. In total, the package contains no less than 51 all-time favourites including "Burning Love", "Steamroller Blues", and "An American Trilogy". The five bonus tracks were specially recorded for the extended U.S. TV version of the Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite show. 

Accompanied by new liner notes, never seen before pictures, and fully remastered audio, we guarantee you'll experience the legacy edition of this 5x multi-platinum live album as if you were sitting on the front row. Remember: 1.5 billion Elvis fans worldwide can’t be wrong!

Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite is available as a limited edition of 500 individually numbered copies on 180 gram audiophile blue, white, and black marbled vinyl and as a Limited edition of 2,500 individually numbered copies on 180 gram audiophile yellow colored vinyl, housed in Deluxe slip case with linen laminate finish that includes a 24-page booklet featuring liner notes, photos, and memorabilia.
