FTD have released 'Elvis: The Viva Las Vegas Sessions' 3-CD boxset: and we are advised by FTD that this ultimate 'Viva Las Vegas' set is nearly sold out. The set includes more than an hour of previously unreleased false starts, break downs, and complete takes! All tracks have been recently remixed and mastered from the original 3-track session tapes. The 8"x 8" slipcase replicates an original Session Reel box. The 28-page booklet includes rare photographs, memorabilia, session data, Movie Trivia, Ann-Margret bio by the late Stuart Colman and Movie overview by Alan Hanson. The 3-CDs are housed in a CD carrier adorned by original tape box documentation.

This release is a strictly LIMITED EDITION. Due to manufacturing costs, there will be no reprint.
