Elvis Presley - Elvis 30 #1 Hits - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Limited edition of 2000 numbered copies on purple coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. After being out of print for a good number of years, we are making 15 titles out of our Elvis Presley back catalogue available again between August 2025 and February 2026.

As a special added bonus for Elvis aficionados, we've included five intimate tracks (three of them previously unreleased) cut at the RCA Studios in Hollywood on August 16, 1974.

To top it off, the pack includes a 20-page booklet featuring rare photos, previously unseen memorabilia, new
