Cover

CD # 1 CD # 2
Available from June 2010; this is the updated -2 CD- version of How Great Thou Art.

It features original masters and several outtakes. Many of these outtakes have already been made official on the FTD label, especially So High is well represented. Still, some new takes are included. My favorite is take 1 of 'Run On'. A pity it is not complete, as it has even better "groove" than later takes of the song.

As all this material has been heavily bootlegged the last 20 years, the double CD release does not feature any surprises for the Elvis fans, but the sound quality is excellent. Mastered by Sebastian Jeansson.

It is presented in a 7" deluxe package with a 12-page booklet, this time!
