ELVIS SELECTED RECORDINGS 1956 – 1958 - 2 CD CHRISTMAS PACKAGE

Brand New & Sealed

A special 2-CD set in limited-edition Christmas packaging, featuring a fine selection of recordings from 1956 to 1958. The first disc (previously released as *Christmas Sessions* on the ElvisOne label) contains all existing recordings from September 5, 6, and 7, 1957, including released versions that differ from the standard released master. The second disc offers a great collection of outtakes, interviews, radio spots, and more, spanning 1956 to 1958 (previously available as *Legendary Elvis*). Several of these tracks cannot be found on any other CD.

This set features the unique radio spots for the films *Love Me Tender* and *King Creole*. The label ElvisOne was the first to release these radio spots on CD. On this set, they are presented in remastered—and therefore optimal—quality. It is quite remarkable—and arguably unfair—that these radio spots are often dismissed as uninteresting. For an Elvis fan, it is fantastic to hear them—especially the spots for *Love Me Tender* and *King Creole*! This set includes them all! This beautiful 2-CD set comes in stunning Christmas-themed packaging and includes various extras, such as a 2027 calendar card!

This package also includes: A booklet and Christmas greeting card.
