Saranno tre le uscite discografiche in programma per celebrare il 1969 di Elvis Presley. In quell'anno l'artista tornò sulle scene dopo un lungo periodo di pausa
A 50 anni dallo storico 1969, arriva sul mercato uno straordinario cofanetto dedicato ad Elvis Presley. Si tratta di una celebrazione del ritorno sulle scene del grande artista che nel 1969 salì nuovamente sul palco dopo ben 8 anni di assenza dalle scene. Il mito di Elvis resiste ancora e i tantissimi fan non vedono l’ora di ascoltare il progetto discografico in uscita il 9 agosto e formato da ben 11 CD. Il boxset, composto anche da un doppio vinile con le esibizioni all’International Hotel di Las Vegas, si chiama “Live 1969” e contiene le registrazioni dei brani eseguiti durante i 57 spettacoli, tutti sold out, che Elvis Presley ha tenuto con la collaborazione dei The Imperials e The Sweet Inspirations, un'orchestra completa e una band diventata famosa poi come TCB. Oltre al boxset è prevista anche la pubblicazione di “American Sound Studio”. Si tratta di una raccolta di inediti e rarità registrate nel 1969 e che uscirà il 23 agosto.
La tracklist di tutte le pubblicazioni
Per il “Live 1969” è prevista anche in una speciale edizione in vinile. Il doppio LP ha il nome di "Live all'International Hotel, Las Vegas, NV il 26 agosto 1969" e contiene la registrazione del Midnight Show di Elvis Presley avvenuto proprio il 26 agosto. In “American Sound 1969”, disponibile solo in digitale, sono invece raccolti alcuni brani inediti mai pubblicati. Tra questi anche le registrazioni di "From Elvis In Memphis". Queste le tracklist di tutte le pubblicazioni previste nel mese di agosto:
