Elvis: The Fun In Acapulco Sessions - FTD - 3 CD Set

This is the ultimate FUN IN ACAPULCO 3-CD set: contains over an hour of complete takes, unpublished false starts, interruptions etc! All tracks have recently been remixed and remastered from the original 3-track session tapes. The 8 "x 8" slipcase is a replica of the RCA Victor session tapebox stored in the RCA safe. The 28-page booklet contains rare photos, memorabilia, session details, movie trivia and an updated overview of the film by Alan Hanson. The 3-CDs are housed in a CD carrier that shows the original documentation of the tapebox. Like the 2018 Viva Las Vegas set, this FUN IN ACAPULCO 3-CD set is pressed in a limited edition.
