FAQ

What are the "bonus songs"?
In the sixties, many of Elvis' soundtrack LPs were filled out with extra studio recordings unrelated to the film. This double LP gathers these titles in one place.

Is this an original pressing?
Yes. The compilation was released in 1983 by RCA Germany, and this is the 1983 German first edition.

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.

Do you have more Elvis Presley records?
Yes, for example Rarities - 12 Songs In Very Special Versions or Rare Elvis Vol. 2. More titles are in our Beat / Rock & Roll collection.
