Elvis Presley - Elvis’ Golden Records Volume 3 (Remastered) (1963/2015)

'Elvis Golden Records Vol. 3' is a new 2-CD release in the Follow That Dream (FTD labels classic album series. It features a 7" digipack with 12-page booklet. By the time Elvis' Golden Records Vol. 3 was released in August 1963, no one in rock 'n' roll up to that point, other than Elvis, had ever legitimately earned a second 'greatest hits' volume, much less a third. It also embodied the best commercial examples of Presley's new post-Army maturity, as both vocalist and musician, and the songs featured on this album achieved an unparalleled level of global chart success by any artist between 1960 and 1963.

The original album has always been a sterling collection of Nashville cuts as we all know, but now it’s made even more attractive by an alternate album and another disc of outtakes, several (officially) unreleased, from the Nashville sessions from 1960-1962. Mastering courtesy of Sebastian Jeansson. Nuff said, this will be playing for much of the coming weeks here!
