Elvis restoration project continues [The Elvis Beat newsletter]

I was 19 when I wrote this piece back in 1994 for The Elvis Beat #9, my official Elvis Presley Fan Club newsletter.

RCA’s effort to digitally restore all of Elvis’ songs and release them on the compact disc format is still going strong. A 2-CD boxed set of gospel and inspirational songs will be released by end of this year. The set will contain some of the songs not included in ELVIS: From Nashville To Memphis – The Essential 60s Masters I.

To be released in 1995 is The 70s Masters boxed set, which will contain at least 5 CDs.

In May, RCA continued the Elvis Double Features series with the release of the following 1960s movie soundtracks, one of which is actually a triple feature:

  • Frankie & Johnny/Paradise, Hawaiian Style
  • Spinout/Double Trouble
  • Kissin’ Cousins/Clambake/Stay Away, Joe
