Retrospective Elvis '69 - Selected Recordings 4 CD Set

Retrospective Elvis '69 - Selected Recordings 4 CD Set

Selected Recordings celebrates the 55th anniversary of Elvis' legendary recordings at the American Sound Studio in Memphis, Tennessee plus other recordings from that magical year of 1969. This is the perfect addition to the official CD releases such as the fantastic CD box 'American Sound 1969'.

This collection is a collection of recordings that have been released over the years on dozens of import CDs and LPs. The collection also contains recordings that have never before been released on CD, as well as some unreleased recordings! Some outtakes that have already been officially released on, for example, 'American Sound 1969' can now be heard in the uncut version. Ofcourse, we used the very best sources for these recordings.

Never before has such an extensive and diverse collection from 1969 been brought together, including many other (unique) recordings in addition to the many alternative recordings from the American Sound Studio.

Each CD is beautifully designed and comes with an 8-page CD booklet.

In addition to the official releases, this is the ultimate alternate Elvis 1969 collection!

This one-off edition cd's are very limited so don't miss it.
