Description
A Date With Elvis' was originally released in July 1959, the second year of Elvis’ two-year stint in the army.
Worried that being drafted would ruin his career, RCA Victor released three compilation albums featuring shelved recordings from the
vaults and recordings previously only available on 7” singles. The goal of these compilations was twofold: keeping
Elvis in the public eye awaiting his return to the spotlight and taking advantage of the fast-growing LP market.
This album consists of previously released material from multiple sessions at the famous Sun Studio in Memphis, an
August 1956 session at 21th Century Fox’ Stage One, and two from Radio Recorders in Hollywood, Los Angeles,
and reached #32 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart.
A Date With Elvis is available as a limited edition of 2500 individually numbered copies on light green coloured vinyl.
