THIS IS ELVIS - SONY 506020 975070
Cover
Theater and home video version

This is the double CD version of "This Is Elvis". First released on LP back in 1981. The LP is represented on CD-1, while CD-2 sports music tracks from the expanded home video version released some years later.

It must be an error when Hound Dog from CD-2 is the same version as found on CD-1, sans overdubbing from 1980.

The sound quality is lackluster, and in general it seems that very little effort and care characterize this FTD version. A pity!
