FTD. I want music plus talking, nothing erased

On FTD I want nothing erased. I want all the conversation between takes not just the song over and over (although I enjoy that). I want Elvis conversation, in other words everything that goes on

The Elvis Is Back Sessions

Being an Elvis fan since 1965, seeing him many times, filming him and my dad photographing him (we've never released any of this film and photos) I had been piece by piece over the last 50 years, yes 50 years of show dates, tour dates and recording session dates in correct order on what was released bit by bit. Anytime the work is done correct, in order and complete, it's a dream come true! Follow That Dream! I do buy everything from FTD and Elvis on his new releases. It's also more deep about Elvis, the musicians, the engineers, the songwriters and the history of the sessions and how a song is developed each and every song! Plus the digital remastering, with that technology and a great set of professional headphones, you're not only with Elvis, you're in the Studios control room!
