The original
Elvis' Christmas Album was out of print by the late 1960s. Interest in
the album prompted RCA to re-release it in an altered version on its
budget label RCA Camden in November, 1970. This version eliminated the
four gospel tracks from the Peace in the Valley EP and added the 1966
holiday single 'If Every Day Was Like Christmas', along with the 1970
non-seasonal 'Mama Liked the Roses', issued as the flip to Elvis' top
ten single 'The Wonder of You'. With ten tracks and a shorter running
time, it fit the standard for the budget label issues.
The initial cover of this revised version echoed that of the 1958
reissue, except a more recent mid-60s vintage photograph with Elvis
wearing a blue racing jacket with two white stripes on the left was used
from the set of the 1967 movie Speedway. The album was also released in
the UK with an album cover that featured Elvis' face from the 1970
Camden release in a circle in the middle surrounded in white with the
title and the song selections in red. Although many, many christmas
compilations were released on CD, the 1970 Camden album with it's
original cover was never released on shinny silver disc. Until now.....
With it's original artwork and liner notes this is the 2012 christmas
release to add to your CD collection. Besides the original album tracks
we added some great bonus material, for optimal ‘christmas' pleasure!
The CD release of Elvis' Christmas Album is presented in a deluxe 6 panel digipack and limited to only 300 copies!
