Elvis Country : Special Limited Edition 2-disc Vinyl Set

In June 1970, Elvis Presley held a five-day recording marathon, during which he completed 34 songs. The impressive results of these sessions allowed RCA to create two thematically coherent Elvis albums, Love Letters From Elvis and Elvis Country (other tracks from these sessions appear on That's The Way it Is and Elvis Now).

Album produced and art directed by Ernst Mikael Jorgensen & Roger Semon
