Elvis Presley Demo & Acetates

April 17, 2021 | Music

Elvis Presley Demo & Acetates is a new CD release from Elvis One. Elvis Presley Demo & Acetates is a special edition release with 29 tracks, including (rare) acetate recordings and (songwriter) demos. Some of these recordings are still unreleased by Elvis' record company like the edited movie version of 'Mean Woman Blues', the undubbed movie version of 'Earth Boy', the unedited vocal overdub of 'I've Got To Find My Baby', the instrumental track of 'If I Can Dream', a radio commercial for the 'Big show in Denver, April 8, 1956', and many others. Also included are the acetate homerecordings of 'Dark Moon', 'Write To Me From Naples' and 'My Heart Cries For You'. As a special bonus you can hear six songwriter demos. For most of these recordings we've used the unrepaired recordings so nothing is lost from the original sound.
A limited edition of only 500 copies.
