Avevamo dato notizia della sua imminente pubblicazione a Dicembre 2019, ma a causa della pandemia da Covid 19, tutto si è fermato...ed anche l'uscita del set doppio CD "Elvis Presley - 42 Years Before and After" è stata posticipata di ben 6 mesi.
Ora sembra sia finalmente disponibile.
Nel primo CD si possono ascoltare tutte le canzoni che hanno segnato in modo importante la carriera di Elvis Presley, come una sorta di punti salienti, partendo dal 1954 arrivando fino allo special CBS del 1977.
Nel secondo CD ci sono le sue canzoni rivisitate, partendo dalla produzione di Felton Jarvis del 1980, fino al duetto sulle note di "Where No One Stands Alone", insieme a sua figlia Lisa Marie Presley.
E' come un viaggio attraverso una serie di canzoni originali, nuovi arrangiamenti, remix e duetti che compongono la strada fatta da Elvis Presley dai suoi esordi fino ai giorni nostri.
