Elvis By Invitation Only And Pre-Opening Night VIP Box Set Black Vinyl Gravel Road Music
Pre-order. If you order this product, together with other products that are in stock, your order will only be shipped if everything is available.
Gravel Road Music brings a fantastic project to the fans. With the focus on July and August 1969. This project consists of two parts: on the one hand a 408 page booklet with two audio CDs, a DVD and Blu Ray with "Elvis By Invitation Only" and on the other a Pre-Opening Night VIP Box Set. Both parts can be ordered individually, but also in combination. In the latter case there is a unique item provided: a free specially made double-sided A-side vinyl single “In The Ghetto / Suspicious Minds”
It is important to know that the two parts complement each other. So the audio and photos do not appear in both parts. In short, it is advisable to order both parts!
Please note: this is the combination package with black vinyl records
