Elvis: The King's Realm Discussion Forum

It has good sound and the CD is housed in a nice 88 pages hardcover book(let). Still a portion of the tracks are officially unreleased. I really hope, and I am convinced, that FTD will release a book/CD combo with the complete Burbank sessions at one point. Until then... this one and the officially released music will do fine.

Oh yes... I think the "foreword by Susan Henning" is quite funny.
Hi Bilbobaggins , wow it looks gorgeous !

Bilbobaggins wrote: September 8th, 2025, 7:26 am Right now I'm listening to "Behind Closed Doors". As you can see, it is not the original audifon release but a re-release by "Hepcat". In the days of the original release I couldn't afford it so a friend of mine made a cassette copy for me. A couple of years later, when I could afford it, I saw a near mint copy of the original set for €40,- at Elviscorner in Utrecht. The shopowner said it was a bargain (and he was right!) but I didn't buy it. I still regret it!

So, to ease the paint, years later I bought this "Hepcat" set. Also nice... but still...

It is packed in a 10" box and includes a CD with the original tracks, a 10" mini vinyl LP with 8 tracks from the original album and a 2 track vinyl single. Both of these are on red vinyl. The sound is very good on all three discs. Oh, and by the way, there has to be a box somewhere in my attic that has the old cassette my friend made for me in it...

Great set!
At the United Elvis Presley Society's (Belgium club) two yearly Elvis market, bought me a nearly new original lp-box copy for only 25€ last june (saw several copies there, same pricerange).. so those prices are up and down.

It looks fantastic, but soundwise it's in Elec­tron­i­cally Re­processed Stereo, so....

But a another story !
We listen to Elvis songs as about If i can dream and thats a political song , but if we spoke about politics than we catch a warning? Its a free western world we lives with free spoken world and even Bill C..was apparently in Elvis in Concerts in his youth do we banned Elvis in Concert ?
I lives in Holland not in East . Go east young man lol
Elvis the man has speaks about the same problem on his channel they will be ebbing slowly the free word.
Elvis is the free world !!!!
