FAQ

Is Moody Blue a pure studio album?
No. Six tracks were recorded at Elvis' Graceland home in 1976, three are live recordings from April 1977 in Ann Arbor, and "Let Me Be There" comes from a 1974 concert in Memphis.

Is this an original pressing?
Yes, this is the 1977 German first edition on RCA Victor with catalogue number PL 12428.

What does Media VG+ / Cover VG+ mean?
Both record and sleeve are graded VG+. 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.

Do you have more Elvis Presley records?
Yes, for example Elvis In Demand or I Can Help And Other Great Hits with more seventies recordings. More titles are in our Beat / Rock & Roll collection.
