Easy Come, Easy Go


One of the rarest Elvis LPs in the world. ’ Easy Come, Easy Go ‘’ (released in Australia and New Zealand). A real rarity, Issued in 12" format only in Australia and New Zealand back in 1966 and at the time the only place to hear the original soundtrack in stereo and still the only place to get them on RCA vinyl. The LP had the distinction of being "bootlegged" with the bootleg issue (for a time) selling at a higher price than the official RCA release. This LPwas released on CD some years ago but with very bad audio quality.
Now, housed in a neat glossy card sleeve, you can hear the original album in great sound including some extra bonus tracks, most of them unreleased by Elvis’ official label. A great collectors’ item !
