Bilko's Gold Cuts

The Bilko label plans to release a compilation from some of their best CDs titled "Bilko's Gold Cuts". The CD comes with a 12 pages booklet highlighting the history of the label and affiliated labels.

This release should feature two previously unreleased soundboard recordings and one unreleased studio cut. The concept behind this CD is somewhat different to the Fort Baxter's greatest hits release "Thank You Very Much". It will contain several tracks that were never used on any Bilko outings or related labels although they had these recordings. All the songs that were originally featured on Bilko's "More Pure Elvis The Lost Album" and used on this compilation are now at their correct recording speed.
