Elvis Rarities Vol. 1 CD
Label: Elvis One

The Elvis One label presents ELVIS PRESLEY - RARITIES VOLUME 1 & 2. A very nice collection of recordings mostly not released by Elvis' official record company on 2 CD's, including some recordings that have never been heard before. These include interviews, demos, rehearsals, live recordings and more...
Perhaps one of the most notable recordings is the song ‘Banana’ recorded for the movie ‘King Creole’. This recording comes from the original acetate and was previously unreleased until now! Other recordings are: Radio Spots for the movie ‘Follow That Dream’ taken from a rare acetate. These radio spots are different from the regular radio spots (also included in this collection) - Four previously unreleased demo recordings for the movie ‘Blue Hawaii’ - A part of the Hollywood rehearsal from August 16 1974 - The unedited radio broadcast from Elvis live in Toledo, Ohio, November 22 1956 with original sound - Very good sounding audience recordings from the opening night in Las Vegas, January 26 1974 - A radio commercial for Hank Snow All Star Jamboree with Elvis Presley, Scotty and Bill from 1955 - 1974 Soundboard recordings - Some rare interviews previously unreleased on CD - And much more!
As a special bonus we’ve included some extra tracks, including a private recording from Elvis’ father Vernon Presley recorded at Graceland in 1973; “A Message to Elvis fans and friends” recorded by Elvis’ uncle Vester Presley; recordings from Elvis' grandfather, a radio broadcast from Red Robinson celebrating 12 years of Elvis...
With the great time of old import LP's like "A Dog's Life" and "Leavin' It Up To You" in our minds we have put together these two CD's with lots of interesting material to enjoy.
All recordings are newly remastered for optimum sound quality!
