 For The Asking / Devil In Disguise - The Lost Album (3CD ) - FTD

As part of its acclaimed ‘Sessions series, FTD is pleased to announce the release of ELVIS PRESLEY: DEVIL IN DISGUISE – the ‘LOST ALBUM’ SESSIONS. Released as a 3-CD 8”

digi-pak. Recorded, for the most part, over two days in July 1963, these varied and excellent performances ended up being scattered over several RCA Victor releases between 1963 and 1968. It would not be until 1990 that the songs finally appeared as originally intended on a proper RCA vinyl album. Almost 60-years later, FTD presents all of the masters and outtakes available from the session(s).
