Elvis Forever Vol.2

[rockinrebel]

I have this one on order. It's the German black label pressing: NL 89075, which presumably is a later reissue.

Therefore, my question is, does this version of the album feature the songs with stereo channels missing, or does this only apply to original pressings?

I've in my old notes:

(1st pressing with closed stereo channel side 2/side3)

For ever II >> matrix

CL 42853-B (1) mono mastered

Thankyou - so it looks like the first pressing only, then...

Nothing to add to The Colonels answer. The Elvis Forever volumes is a nice series that was released on quite some labels over the years.

Thankyou.

That's a lovely collection of the Forever series you've got there.

I had a feeling that the rare mixes were only on the first issue. Still, the album is in lovely condition with a nice gatefold, and as I only have Volume One, it's a nice addition to the collection.

Nice vinyl series, and the first Forever is really a classic release. I remember that one from
my childhood and saw it everywhere…in shops and in friends’ and family members’ collections.
This was in the late ’70s.
I never cared much for volume 3 in the series, though.
