BMG China has done it again and so far has been the only country
that has really and truly decided to promote the 30th Anniversary of
Elvis' passing. The history behind this SPECIAL "PROMOTIONAL NOT FOR
SALE EDITION CD" is VERY, VERY UNUSUAL from what we can gather from
our sources. Apparently BMG CHINA had scheduled a special 2 CD set
for the 30TH called 30 YEARS AFTER - FRESH AND NEW (NOTE: this is
the correct title WITHOUT "STILL" included!). It was to contain 60
tracks with all of them REMASTERED and REMIXED and with possibly at
least half of them either alternate takes or mastered so different
that they sound like different takes. Unfortunately we do not know
what the original song listings were ! As of this posting it is
known that some (if not all of the 25 on this CD) fall into the
"different" category. Anyway, apparently BMG U.S. decided to
withdraw permission for the regular CD's release but some copies of
the promo DID get out (source: e-mail).
It is a strong indication that a CD is a fake, if the IFPI mould code (with this code you can identify the pressing plant) is scratched out. On no genuine CD the ifpi code is scratched out! Don't pay too much for it!
