  • The 10 original album mono masters (only available on the VERY RARE RCA Club Edition CD release of ‘I Got Lucky’(and it is a 100 euro collectable CD now, which is extremely hard to find these days). These tracks are all mixed and edited differently to the stereo masters)
  • The Stereo Masters (using the latest superb masters)
  • 10 alternate versions of the same 10 songs, all edited for optimal listening pleasure, and all unreleased in this form.
And, ofcourse, top notch artwork in the old ‘Pickwick Label’ style, and a (removable) sticker on front of the case. This is a real collectible release for the Elvis audio collector, so order your copy now!!
