Elvis Today 2 CD Legacy Edition with Original Session Mixes and live concert

Next up in the Sony Music 'Legacy Edition' series is a reissue of the 'Elvis Today' classic. A highlight of this set is the Undubbed 'Original Session mixes', tracks almost worthy of there own release in our opinion. Originally released in 1975

The Today sessions were held in RCA's Studio C, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, March 10 - 12, 1975, and marked the last time Elvis Presley would record in a studio. Elvis last recorded at Studio C, Hollywood in 1972 where he recorded the gold records 'Burning Love' and 'Separate Ways'.

Today featured a new rock song, 'T-R-O-U-B-L-E', which was released as its first single and went Top 40 in the US. 'Bringin' It Back' was its second single in the US. The album also features covers of songs by Perry Como, Tom Jones, The Pointer Sisters, Billy Swan, Faye Adams, The Statler Brothers and Charlie Rich.

'Green, Green Grass of Home' was released as a single in the UK, where it went Top 30, and also received US airplay. Elvis first heard the song in 1967 while driving his bus back to Memphis after making another movie, and heard Tom Jones' new single 'Green Green Grass of Home' for the first time and loved it. He had his 'memphis mafia' call the local AM station to make them replay it over and over again. Eight years later Elvis cut his own version.
