Elvis Presley

The Best of the '68 Comeback Special

£9.99

Released: 15th February 2019. An ideal set for longtime Elvis fans and newcomers, 'The Best of the '68 Comeback Special' comprises the Elvis recordings and performances that inspired the 2019 NBC tribute show and showcases a new version of the legendary closing number, 'If I Can Dream,' as heard in the new special - featuring Elvis' original vocals alongside new performances by 5 superstar pop and pop country artists. The album features 15 Elvis performances from the 'stand-up' and 'sit-down' shows filmed for the '68 broadcast, plus three original studio recordings to represent songs that appear in the new special. The original special, recorded over several sessions in June 1968, featured Elvis playing the songs that mattered most to him, in his first live performance since 1961. When it aired on December 3, 1968, the special was the week's highest-viewed television program, re-establishing Elvis as a driving force in popular music.
