Elvis Presley: Today version on 2CD in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company RCA in cooperation with Legacy and Sony Music on 7. August 2015.

Released on the 40th anniversary of the last major continuous studio recording of ELVIS at RCA Studio C in Hollywood in May-June 1975. Featuring for the first time an alternative mix of the album without the then controversial covers. A bonus CD of live performances from the Southern tour of this period, previously only available on the limited 8 LP box set "Elvis Aron Presley" (first released 1980). The album includes cover versions of songs successfully recorded by others, including Tom Jones (Green, Green Grass Of Home), Don McLean (And I Love You So), The Pointer Sisters (Fairytale) and the rock 'n' roll inspired "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" which hit the Top 40. Other songs include Susan When She Tried, Woman Without Love, Shake a Hand, Pieces of My Life, I Can Help and Bringin' It Back. Review: "Instead of Las Vegas professionalism, these recordings exude a strong, down-home feel and fascinate more than just the initiated." (more) (Stereo Play, October 2015) "A good-humored Elvis, who jokes with the audience with a solid band behind him, runs through his repertoire, including "All Shook Up," "Hound Dog" and - somewhat lightheartedly - "Love Me Tender," and sings new songs like Kris Kristofferson's "Why Me Lord." (Good Times, October/November 2015)

Album spans genres Rock, Pop, Balad, Folk Rock and Country Rock. Legacy Edition.
