Golden Records - The Alternate Album Collection (5CD Set)

Golden Records - The Alternate Album Collection (5CD Set)

The Elvis’ Golden Records albums spanning a period of 26 years are true classic albums.

The first two volumes focussing on his early career, volume 3 & 4 mainly on the 1960’s.

The posthumous released volume 5 is focussing on his career from the end 60’s to the late 70’s. 

Most Elvis fans have started their collection with buying these classic albums. 

Being a compilation of success 45RPM releases (both A & B sides) this series contained the regular master versions, just as the fans knew the songs so well.

This neat 5 CD boxset including a 20 page booklet contains only rare alternate & hard to find versions.

The same lineup but a very different listening experience. Get it while you can!
