Christmas Today
Christmas is coming early in 2010 !!! Soon available from Venus Productions a new double CD set titled Christmas Today. The red CD features Nashville recordings from May 1971 with various out-takes and undubbed masters taken from great quality acetates. This inspiring music will move you and bring you back into the Holiday Season mood. The blue CD may sound unessential to most of you, but we predict it will become one your favorite CDs straight away. The recording sessions for the album Elvis Today took place at RCA's studio on Sunset Boulevard, and Elvis was really up for it and his lively enthusiasm can be heard throughout the sessions. Besides the great sound quality of both CDs, the blue one contains some unheard highlights. By example the master take of 'Fairytale' runs about 40 seconds longer, the one from 'Susan When She Tried' runs a bit longer with his original ending, plus there are several bits and pieces that will make you value this CD more than you think. This Holiday delight will be released in a standard jewel case with a 16 page booklet.
The booklet will feature two front/back covers you may use according to your taste or season.
