Elvis Presley Nashville Sessions Compiled In ‘From Elvis in Nashville’

In June 1970 Elvis Presley entered Nashville’s legendary RCA Studio B for a marathon five day recording session that would provide the backbone of three of his most successful studio albums of the decade.

On November 20th, these sessions will be collected in a 4CD set and digital collection, ‘From Elvis In Nashville’. Pre-order now.

Drawing on the original masters, the 4CD set presents studio tracks from the 1970 marathon sessions in pristine audio, newly mixed by acclaimed engineer Matt Ross-Spring (John Prine, Jason Isbell) without the added overdubs or orchestration appearing on earlier releases.

From Elvis In Nashville will be available in a 4CD boxed edition including two bonus discs of rare and/or unreleased outtakes from the 1970 sessions (also available digitally). A highlights package will be available in a 2LP 12″ vinyl pressing.
