Follow That Dream News

The Follow That Dream Collector's label announced the release of three new titles, due for release April 2013. The first 7" issue will be the classic album, 'From Elvis In Memphis[1969] forming part of the double classic album series. CD 1 will feature the Original 12 track Album followed by 12 'First Takes'. CD 2 features 22 tracks. 5 outtakes from the January sessions and 7 from February plus 10 undubbed masters.

Next is 'Stay Away Joe', a single disc album which is an extended soundtrack album from Elvis' Nashville Studio B recording sessions that took place in October '67 & January '68. The 21 track album will include 7 studio masters and the remaining 14 tracks are made up of mostly previously unreleased outtakes and with Elvis being in very high spirits during these sessions there are several funny moments we can look forward too.

Finally it's the turn of 'On Stage' to get the 12" vinyl treatment. The tracklist features a selection of Elvis' February Las Vegas recordings plus the 1969 'Runaway' but doesn’t follow the track list of the original "On Stage" album. It also for some reason does not include the original "additional" 1969 track 'Yesterday'.
