Released in 1974, the double album 'Elvis Forever' (Volume 1) is probably the best-selling Elvis compilation album of all-time (at least in Europe). Now the COMPLETE collection of original Elvis Forever albums are to be available on CD ... with a total of 50 rare bonus tracks, this collection of 5 double-albums has a total of 210 tracks! Housed in stunning 3 panel digipacks with original album artwork, each FOREVER Volume contains 2 Discs with the 32 original album tracks (from the latest masters) on Disc 1 plus a bonus Disc 2 with rare and hard to find recordings. All housed in a stunning cardboard storage box available only with the first two CDs.
In Germany one million copies were sold within a year of it's release, in Finland it became the biggest selling 'greatest hits' album ever, in Belgium it sold more than 270.000 copies and in Holland it was one of the very few Elvis albums that went straight to number 1 on the charts (in 1974).
By the end of the 1970's the original FOREVER album had sold more copies than UK's '40 Greatest', without even being released in the UK or US (more than 5.000.000 copies).
After the huge success of FOREVER Volume 1, RCA decided in the 1980's to release 4 more Volumes in the FOREVER series. Although they sold well, they never became the huge success of the first Volume.
Elvis Forever Volume 1 was released on CD by RCA as a double CD album and as a single CD album (containing 30 tracks instead of the original 32). Volume 2 was also released, in 2 different versions, but both editions contained only 31 tracks and not 32). The CD version of 'Elvis Forever Volume 2' with the original album cover (released in Holland) is almost undefinable these days, and the CD version promoting the 'Elvis Eau De Toilette' (only released in Germany with a totally different cover) is also a rarity.
All the other Volumes in the FOREVER series are unreleased on CD.
Until now!

Elvis 40 Greatest Hits : 1975 Compilation CD Release
Another classic Elvis compilation is to be released on bootleg, this time the 1975 'Elvis 40 Greatest Hits' compilation. It was the UK's 5th best selling album of 1975 and the 6th best selling LP of the 1970s. It topped the charts for ten weeks and part of its success was due, undoubtedly, to the fact that it was advertised widely on TV - the first album ever to be promoted in this way. RCA also later released this album in October 1978, when it reached #40 in a 14 week chart run. This release contains over 2 and a half hours of some of the greatest Elvis Presley recordings including 18 rare and hard to find tracks.
