I Can Help 30th Anniversary & The Alternate Love Letters CDs

May 11, 2014 | Music

Two new 'bootleg' CD re-issues have been released; 'I Can Help : 30 Anniversary' and 'The Alternate Love Letters'. Both albums are produced in digi-packs with 'The Alternate Love Letters' in a six panel digi-pack.
This year it's 30 years ago that the compilation album 'I Can Help And Other Great Hits' was released in the UK. It was one of the most succesful Elvis albums of the early 1980's. It was even released on picture disc and on single (both I Can Help and Green Green Grass Of Home housed in a poster bag) Strangely enough it was never released on CD. We are proud to present the entire album on CD for the first time, including some very hard to find bonus selections including the unreleased 12 inch version of I Can Help. Housed in a stunning 3 panel digipack (with unseen photo's of Elvis from the mid 1970's ) this is a real 'must have' for all Elvis CD and photo collectors.

So is "I Can Help" in 12" or 10"? I sure don't want to end up with 2 inches less of it, if I decide to buy!

Too feeble for words...except, paradoxically, for these words.

Let's hope this alternate mix of Fool is done by Spancox...

Not sure what the problem is here ? I Can Help was an excellent and successful album. I always found it a very attractive album. Love Letters album, yep I like the songs there too, shame about the cover tho.
