The Elvis Presley series of Legacy Edition multi-disc packages continues its focus on important phases of the king’s recording career at RCA Records. Forty years after its release in 1971, Elvis Country, an LP that found him getting back in touch with the Nashville country music mainstream, is the lynchpin for Elvis Country: Legacy Edition, the newest entry in the series. Included in the new package on CD one is the original 12-song Elvis Country (“I’m 10,000 Years Old”), first released in 1971. Three bonus tracks are drawn from the original recording sessions of June and September 1970. On CD two, from the June sessions, comes the original 11-song Love Letters From Elvis also with three bonus tracks from the original sessions.

The release in 2019 of the vinyl album “Elvis in Paris” marked the 60th anniversary of Elvis’s 1959 visit to the French capital. Elvis had come at a time when the French were discovering two albums, “King Creole” (released at the end of 1958, and quickly reissued in 1959), and “Elvis Gold Records, Volume 2,” which included titles that had gathered multiple gold and platinum awards. In France, these gave rise to singles and “Super 45” discs that added to the huge celebrity that Elvis already enjoyed in France. The impact of those songs was such that almost all of them were adapted and issued in French versions. Here, most often in the form of alternate takes, you can find the titles that appeared on that vinyl album and were accompanied, as a bonus, by three songs of French origin and excerpts from press conferences given by Elvis ; and, an additional bonus, there are ten new alternate takes from the period. French fans have never forgotten that Paris was the only European capital that Elvis chose to visit… and he did so three times!
