June 06 - The (Ch)art

When FTD announced the new titles for this month, the coverart for the 2LP vinyl release of 'Recorded Live On Stage in Memphis' was just temporary (the same as the original release). Since the FTD vinyl records all have alternative covers, we can now show you the official cover art for this upcoming release. The new titles are due for release by the end of this month.
