THE BLUE HAWAII RECORDING SESSIONS

THE BLUE HAWAII RECORDING SESSIONS

Label: Radio Recorders™

BRAND NEW & SEALED

In March 1961 Elvis returned to the now legendary Radio recorders™ studio to record an iconic soundtrack for his new Paramount Pictures soundtrack “Blue Hawaii”. In between “G.I. Blues” and “Blue Hawaii” Elvis recorded the soundtrack for “Flaming Star” and the highly acclaimed gospel album “His Hand In Mine”. Elvis was about to record some signature songs which would follow him through the rest of his career. “Can’t Help Falling In Love” became the closing theme during his entire live career. Ku-U-I-Po, Blue Hawaii and “Hawaiian Wedding Song” were even used in his legendary “Aloha From Hawaii” special. These tracks were recorded after the show was finished and it was inserted in the program. “Hawaiian Wedding Song” song would also find it’s way to the setlist during his 1974-1977 live shows.

All recordings on this disc have been carefully restored & remastered. They never sounded better, it’s like you are right there in the studio.
