A Hundred Years From Now (Essential Elvis 4) |
|
|
![]() |
Fans who complain that Elvis Presley's recordings from the '70s are too lavishly produced would do well to check out A Hundred Years From Now, a collection of undubbed masters and alternate takes from the Elvis Presley's five-day June 1970 recording session. Those sessions produced material for the albums Love Letters From Elvis and Elvis Country, records that contain great performances but that, to many, suffer from excessive overdubbing. A Hundred Years From Now allows listeners to hear these tracks as Elvis heard them during those all-night June sessions, before strings, background vocals, and extra instruments were added. | |
Rhythm & Country (Essential Elvis 5) |
|
|
![]() |
Rhythm And Country contains 18 previously unreleased performances and this digitally remastered collection is a must for any Elvis fan. The best tracks from these sessions have been compiled together to form Volume 5 of the critically acclaimed Essential Series. Rhythm And Country is a unique collection of R & B and Country songs Elvis recorded in 1973 at the legendary recording studios at the Stax Records building in Memphis. | |
Elvis : Such A Night - Essential Elvis Vol. 6 |
|
|
![]() |
Such a Night : The Stellar Nashville Sessions, 1960 - 1964 is the sixth volume in RCA's ongoing Essential Elvis series. Like its predecessors, it gives a behind-the-scenes look at a group of Elvis Presley recording sessions. With the exception of the title track, 'Such a Night' is comprised of alternate takes and gives us an opportunity to explore Elvis Presley's creative process. The subtle difference between the alternate take and the released version, plus the in-studio banter, offer a fascinating view of how Elvis made music. All tracks were recorded at the legendary RCA Nashville Studio B, with the 'Nashville Sound' was all but invented. | |
The Jungle Room Sessions FTD CD |
|
|
![]() |
Since the FTD CD series began it has given us the chance to hear some classic unreleased Elvis Presley material but none more essential that their fourth release 'The Jungle Room Sessions'. After 'The Jungle Room Sessions' the majority of the original releases on 'Moody Blue' and 'From E.P Boulevard' now sound so disappointing. Of all the Elvis Presley CDs produced by the FTD team this is the one you must have, whether you are a fan of 70's Elvis or not. This truly is an astounding packed 72 minutes of essential listening that is also an amazing documentary capturing some extraordinary moments of Elvis' life. More Elvis Alternate Take CDs. |

|
|
![]() |
I Sing All Kinds a collection of outtakes from the sessions in Nashville during 1971 - I Sing All Kinds has been high on the priority list of many fans for quite some time. This is a great CD - highly recommended to all fans. - Review - I Sing All Kinds The Nashville 1971 Sessions CD. |
|
Memphis Sessions FTD CD |
|
|
![]() |
Memphis Sessions is an extraordinary insight into Elvis Presley rediscovering his musical roots. Here is Beale Street Blues and Memphis Soul combined with some of the most meaningful lyrics that Elvis would ever record. This recording session at Chips Moman's American Studios in early 1969 was the most important of Elvis' career. They proved that after years in the wilderness he was still a dynamic and important force in pop culture. More Elvis Alternate Take CDs. |

Made In Memphis FTD CD |
|
|
![]() |
Made in Memphis is a single-disc regular Follow That Dream release featuring outtakes from Elvis' sessions in Memphis in 1969 (American Sound Studio), 1973 (Stax Recording Studio) and 1976 (the den at Graceland). There is an additional 5-song set of home recordings made at Sam Thompson's place in November 1973. (Sam was a member of Elvis' entourage and the brother of Linda Thompson, Elvis' steady girlfriend from 1972 to 1976.) |
|
Studio B FTD CD |
|
|
![]() |
Studio B is the sequel to the sensational FTD CD Fame & Fortune and takes us on a journey from Elvis Presley's chart topping year of 1961 (Blue Hawaii etc) to that first taste of movie desperation, 'Roustabout'. There is no doubt that the dynamic force of the 'Elvis Is Back' sessions had been left behind & the smoother sound of the sixties had crept in, but at the same time Elvis' Nashville musicians were the brilliant 'A Team' and his voice had never sounded so beautiful. With a playing time of over an hour and also featuring great cover photos, Ernst & Roger have again released an essential purchase. |

So High - Nashville Out-takes 1966-68 FTD CD |
|
|
![]() |
So High features outtakes from Elvis Presley's Nashville sessions during the 1966–1968 period and what an absolute gem it is! |
|
Elvis On Tour - The Rehearsals FTD CD |
|
|
![]() |
Elvis On Tour - The Rehearsals features recordings done at RCA’s studios in Hollywood in March 1972, which were conducted in association with that year’s MGM concert film Elvis on Tour. The CD covers Elvis rehearsals for his upcoming tour, combining classic Elvis live repertoire with some of his new studio material of that time. |
|
Elvis : The Way It Was FTD CD |
|
|
![]() |
Elvis - The Way It Was FTD CD - FTD re-release the CD originally included in the The Way It Was book. Ernst Jorgensen + FTD have once again come up with the goods! This is a regular 5" CD. 'The Way It Was' kicks off with an early rehearsal of 'Words' and 'The Next Step is Love' setting the scene with Elvis and the band still working out the arrangements. |
|
Let Yourself Go - The Making of Elvis The Comeback Special |
|
|
![]() |
Let Yourself Go The Making of 'Elvis' – The Comeback Specialcombines previously unreleased outtakes from the sessions at Western Recorders, with the June 24 rehearsal at NBC (previously only available on bootleg). The Western recordings include the opening, the gospel sequence, the road sequence, Memories and If I Can Dream. |
|
The Nashville Marathon FTD CD |
|
|
![]() |
The Nashville Marathon features out-takes from Elvis Presley's June and September 1970 recording sessions and is another stunner from the FTD Team! These recording sessions have been explored before on the excellent 'A Hundred Years From Now' and this new CD should be viewed as a part 2. However nine of the tracks have never been released as alternate takes before and the versions of 'Mary In The Morning' and 'Twenty Days and Twenty Nights' alone are reason enough to buy this CD. I have also always enjoyed listening to 'first takes' of Elvis' recordings and Nashville Marathon features eight of those, including the sensational 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'. |
|
Easter Special FTD CD |
|
|
![]() |
Easter Special is a brilliant compile of twenty (officially) unreleased Gospel songs and features some excellent alternate versions of old favourites as well as some fascinating Studio discussions. From the opening track of 'March of the Dimes' - Elvis Presley's 1957 plea for the support of Polio victims - to the fabulous 1973 finale of 'If that Isn't Love' this CD is a total delight. Recomended! |
|
Too Much Monkey Business FTD CD |
|
|
![]() |
Too Much Monkey Business features twenty recordings from the sessions that Felton Jarvis and Chip Young recorded in 1980, lifting Elvis Presley's vocals off the original tapes and recording brand new backing tracks. Ten of these recordings originally found their way to the commercially successful 'Guitar Man' album, and FTD has added another ten previously unreleased songs. |

|
|
![]() |
Burbank '68 is the first release from the long awaited 'collectors label' Follow That Dream and contains a plethora of unreleased tracks from one of the only parts of Elvis Presley's career that almost every fan and critic agree on: The TV-special filmed and recorded for NBC in June 1968. What we get here are 23 tracks (including two tracks of dialogue) of which no less than 14 are previously unreleased. The parts of the TV-special in focus here are the June 25th so called 'dress rehearsal' and the June 29th, 6 PM 'stand up' show, supplemented with a few studio tracks. | |
