November 13 - Elvis On Vinyl

The Dutch Music On Vinyl re-issue record label delivered the third batch of Elvis Presley titles  of their 15-title re-issue program. The albums released are 'Recorded Live On Stage in Memphis', 'Elvis 2nd To None' and 'Loving You'. 

The next batch, due in January 2026, has already been announced:  'Elvis Back In Memphis', 'Good Times' and 'On Stage - February 1970'. 

Publicity for 'Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis' stated: Following the artistic success of his 1973 Stax sessions and the global phenomenon of the 'Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite' album and broadcast the same year, Elvis opened 1974 with a 15-city tour routed to end in Memphis and a state-of-the-art concert recording. 

When originally released as a single LP, 'Elvis Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis' reached #1 on the Country charts and featured 'How Great Thou Art,' the track that would bring Elvis his third Grammy win. This luxury quadruple vinyl reissue contains a previously unreleased test run of the entire show recorded in front of a live audience at the Richmond Coliseum a few days before the legendary concert. The remarkable "test run" performance was recorded in mono, drenched in the reverb Elvis preferred, and provides new insight into the magic of Elvis.

As a special added bonus for Elvis aficionados, we’ve included five intimate tracks (three of them previously unreleased) cut at the RCA Studios in Hollywood on August 16, 1974. Originally intended as reference recordings for an upcoming Las Vegas engagement, the performances which include "Down In The Alley," "Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues," "Softly As I Leave You," "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and "The Twelfth Of Never" provide a rare fly-on-the-wall glimpse into Elvis' consummate backstage artistry as he prepares these songs for concert. To top it off, the pack includes a 20-page booklet featuring rare photos, previously unseen memorabilia, new liner notes, press clips and more.

Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis is available as a limited edition of 500 individually numbered copies on yellow/orange marble vinyl and 2,000 individually numbered copies on purple colored vinyl. Both versions  include a 20-page booklet.

Publicity for '2nd To None' stated: 'Elvis 2nd to None' is the successor to ELV1S 30 #1 Hits, an ambitious double LP compilation collecting the King’s many, many chart-topping songs. He had so many however, that a second one was very welcome. This time around, the lens was broadened to include more than just the number one hits resulting in a varied and worthy companion to the first compilation. Two notable inclusions are the previously unreleased recording “I'm a Roustabout” and a breakbeat remix of 'Rubberneckin’' by Paul Oakenfold in same vein as Junkie XL’s version of “A Little Less Conversation”.

'Elvis 2nd to None' is available as a limited edition of 500 individually numbered copies on smokey marbled vinyl and 2,000 individually numbered copies on gold colored vinyl. 

Publicity for 'Loving You' stated: 'Loving You' from 1957 was Elvis Presley’s first soundtrack and accompanied the eponymous film that follows a delivery man who is discovered by a music publicist and a country–western musician who wants to promote the talented newcomer. This was Presley’s first major starring role. The fact that only the tracks on the A-side appeared in the movie couldn’t spoil the fun for the fans, as the LP contained hits such as “(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear” reaching #1 in the U.S., some covers and some lesser-known deep cuts. It’s not without reason that this album reached Certified Gold status. The Midas touch, so to speak.

'Loving You' is available as a limited edition of 500 individually numbered copies on blue marble vinyl and 2,000 individually numbered copies on yellow colored vinyl.
