Elvis, Aloha from Hawaii
NBC TV Special - April 4, 1973 Broadcast Version Sans the commercials and most
of the TV announcer bumpers interrupting it, this is how America first saw
Elvis, Aloha from Hawaii on television.
BMG has opted to start off with DVD only, as the VHS market worldwide is nearing extinction. It's virtually a sin to watch this glorious material on VHS anyway! Still, BMG and EPE are discussing possible means of addressing the demand that will continue for Elvis on VHS.
