FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. The album was first released in the US in 1969. This is a German reissue with the original catalogue number LSP 4155; the exact year of this pressing is not stated.

Why is it considered one of his best albums?
After years of film soundtracks, Presley recorded strong material here with a first-class studio band. The Memphis sessions also produced "Suspicious Minds", which is not on this album.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
Record: NM- (Near Mint minus) means close to new with at most minimal signs of use. Sleeve: VG+ (Very Good Plus) means light signs of use that barely affect playback or the overall impression. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
