Finally a Great album (CD) cover! Good Job, FTD! It always amazed me how the best looking guy on the planet (in my opinion) had some of the worst Album photo covers in recorded history! The colonel supposely.. supervised the album pics! Go back and look at the original album & 45 covers...for Girls! Girls! Girls! Blue Hawaii (movie soundtracks) etc. From Elvis in Memphis (The upgraded "Suspicious Minds" of these sessions is a much better Album CD cover!) The original "Aloha From Hawaii", another bad photo of Elvis! Thankfully it was "upgraded" with new sound and a new cover! There are so many more.. I'm sure you all ..will agree !!

This is a very nice cover, well done the FTD team.
This CD will be released nearly thirty years to the day after the concert was performed. How quicky time passes.

This is a GREAT COVER. Isn't it amazing how a new picture of Elvis keeps turning up. Love it. Wouldn't this look even more beautiful on a vinyl album cover? Good work, FTD.

Come to think of it, why don't FTD release all their CDs on the 7" format. That will be most wonderful

Again, I will say much the same Excellent Cover. I still find myself responding with a "Whoa" and "Excellent" after 28 years looking at Elvis on LP and CD covers. And I still like the three dimensional lettering of "Elvis". Anyone know the story of whom was inspired to introduce this unique lettering in the mid-1970's (?) Good luck Sandi with your Elvis photos and your Elvis book.
