FTD 178 – Devil In Disguise, The ‘Lost Album’ Sessions (3-CD)

Elvis Presley: Devil In Disguise – The ‘Lost Album’ Sessions fra den anerkendte ‘Sessions series’ fra FTD udgives som 3-CD i 8″ digipak. Optaget for det meste over to dage i juli 1963, endte disse varierede og fremragende indspilninger med at blive spredt over flere RCA Victor-udgivelser mellem 1963 og 1968. Først i 1990 blev sangene samlet og udgivet som oprindeligt tiltænkt på et egentligt RCA-vinylalbum. Næsten 60 år senere præsenterer FTD alle masteroptagelser og outtakes, der findes fra sessionen(-erne).
