Christmas Today includes a beautiful, 16-page, full color booklet, with relevant photos and notes. It is cleverly designed so that half is dedicated to CD 1's Christmas songs, and the other half to the Today material on CD 2. A fan may position their preferred cover in the CD case! This Venus release is an essential purchase, most especially for the unreleased moments and fantastic fidelity. Elvis Presley could still thrill a listener in the 1970s, and proof of how hard he worked to do it is found on this compilation.

Welcome To The Jungle - Solitaire is a wonderful compilation of released and unreleased tracks recorded in February 1976. ' There was a man, a lonely man....' is certainly a line the rock singer had on his mind during those early February winter nights behind Graceland's walls, and he felt Neil Sedaka's song could work very well for him. On this CD you can hear the progress from the very first take through the master take.

Revisiting the 'Our memories of Elvis' albums (a.k.a. 'More of the pure Elvis sounds') from 32 years ago, we came to realize that Joan Deary did have a vision well ahead of time.

Brilliantly remastered and no compare to any other release on vinyl or cd to date!

Review of the Elvis Christmas Today 2 CD Set with sound samples ... The main question is, if this release can deliver the goods. The answer is an easy one after listening to it: yes, it can! This is one of the biggest surprises in years and comes totally unexpected. The main focus is bent on outtakes from Christmas songs recorded in May 1971. This is frickin' exciting to me as we didn't get to much undubbed recordings from those sessions until now. Now let's get into it and have a closer look on the material ...

The Get Down And Dirty rehearsal CD release is mind blowing. Gravelroad nailed it. The balance and sound is just great. Very well balanced sound, not from various sources and in stereo. Even the mike trouble is solved, and that was a technical problem of the enigneer in 1970! The missing 24 minuts are in place and finally I can play it without skipping the parts which were too painfull to my ears. They give us more complete recordings in better sound, a re-releases but they make it worth to replace the old one. Gravelroad is Premium Quality.

I opened my mailbox Friday to find a great surprise- a preview copy of International's latest release 'Showroom Internationale' !

If you wanted to hear more than a new live recording and wished for a brand new song, then the new Audionics is the one to buy! The label Audionics will soon release the CD 'Let Me Be The One - Behind Closed Doors' containing home demos recorded in April 1974, November 1973 and 1960. Elvis' duet rendition with the group Voice of the song 'Let Me Be The One' is somewhat spicy to say the least but nonetheless entertaining, all his energy was saved for a great finale that is almost worth the price of the CD by itself. This incredible rarity is followed with the complete November 1973 home demos recorded at Sam Thompson's house in Memphis, and for the first time ever complete in such EXCELLENT quality.
