Upcoming FTD Releases

Upcoming FTD Releases


SEPTEMBER

1. FOLLOW THAT DREAM will simultaneously release two new albums in mid-September.
JAILHOUSE ROCK is a 2-disc set in the classic album series. DISC 1 features one disc of masters, alternate masters, movie masters and a few bonus cuts in mono. DISC 2 consists of session takes – all in binaural. The package features the 7” inch digipack format with 12-page booklet.
There is no IN AND OUTTAKES section to the booklet, as FTD will be releasing JAILHOUSE ROCK VOL. 2 next year, and it will make more sense to have this section when the entire intended repertoire content is released.
2. “FROM SUNSET TO VEGAS”

FROM SUNSET TO VEGAS is a 2-disc set in FTD’S 5 “ digipack format. The main body of the release is the rehearsal recorded at RCA’s studio on Sunset Blvd on August 16, 1974. There is a bonus section on Disc 2 with 10 live recordings from Elvis’ Las Vegas engagement in August/September 1974.
