This is great, very impressive. I expect the use of this photo will bring calls for the release of the third sit-down show, which was not filmed because it did not even happen!

Wow, what a fantastic looking cover - unlike those crappy looking covers that I'm getting so used to from FTD. This great looking cover is in line with the cover of "Elvis At The International". Let's just hope that Kevin Budd had anything to do with the mix on this release

Great cover! I bet FTD is learning to design their cover art :)

Great cover. With a cover like that you have 22 outtakes of Old Shep and it would sell!!!

Yes vims, there is a lot of unheard stuff here. All the studio takes are unheard except I think "If I Can Dream Take 4" which has appeared on bootleg. Apart from "I Got A Woman" and "When It Rains It Really Pours" which appeared on the Platinum set, then the rehearsal, although available on bootleg, is unreleased too.

Excellent cover photo and design. I don't see how anybody can complain about this one! Good job, guys!

I think Whetherman "If I Can Dream" was on "He Walks Beside Me" in 1978. Excellent cover .

Thank you PJones, yes you're absolutely right, I stand corrected. This will still be an excellent release. Thank you Ernst, Roger and FTD.

Do you know, I always thought "Let Yourself Go" was recorded in 2 parts. Surprised to see a part 3, take 6 listed. Hmmm interesting.

It's a great cover. But more importantly a great track listing. I think the FTD releases are exceptional and am really looking forward to this one.

Beaut cover, lets hope the CD's content reflects it. Even a worthy SONY/BMG parent company release. Look out "Jungle Room"!!!

great cover, although I think FTD's covers aren't that bad in general, they always try to make something nice and each person has got a difference in taste..
question: does anybody know where to find and can help me to get where to get the alternate takes of some of these songs? Do they exist? Love song of the year, We can make the morning, Love me, love the life I lead, sweet angeline. Would be very grateful when you'll help me with this. Thanks

Jerome, with all due respect, why not stay on topic, just for starters? I do recommend that you get yourself Ernst Jorgensen's sessions "A Life In Music" book; or Joe Tunzi's "Sessions III" or go to elvissessions.com or any number of fine books and websites. I very much look forward to more '68 material. It had to happen and there won't be many more.

The FTD is coming full circle with this release, I remember when I got Burbank '68, that was a great feeling and the start of something new. I'm 33 and I do remember the releases of the eighties ... Anyway, the cover looks stunning and it's strange that this release hasn't seen the light before. But now it's more than welcome! Thank you, Ernst! By the way, when will this be released?

Mature: I'm as critical as Ernst's role (or non-role) in the collapse of the main RCA/BMG/Sony label's Elvis issues, but when it comes to FTD's, it's all gravy. I don't say criticism will cause FTD to die (quite the opposite) but I can't say I have had any real problem with any of the FTD's. This one will be a true gem - in my book.

Hey Ron. This will be a 5 inch. Would have been a killer in size 7 though.
