Joining the 'Viva Elvis' CD is the Viva Elvis - The Album 180 gram 12" audiophile vinyl. Made in Europe this release features the standard 12 song track list. 'Viva Elvis' re-imagines the King's own vocal performances in a broad variety of new musical settings. This new sound echoes Elvis' own versatility and ability to master all music genres, from Delta blues to rockabilly, from raw soul to gospel, from Southern folk to Vegas pop, while incorporating elements of garage rock, punk, urban and hip-hop.

In celebration of all eras of Elvis' musical genius, Viva Elvis - The Album includes songs from Elvis' rise to fame in the '50s, his movie soundtracks, his triumphant return to the stage in the '68 Special', and his ground-breaking appearances in Las Vegas. 'Burning Love,' 'Suspicious Minds,' 'Blue Suede Shoes' and 'It's Now or Never' are among the songs that have been re-imagined and transformed for Viva Elvis - The Album.
