Incl. covers

American Sound - the definitive collection of Elvis Presley's 1969 studio sessions. Meticulously
compiled from multiple sources by your friends at Purple Chick. Fan created and Never For Sale!!
Some tracks have been restored from more than one source for maximum listening pleasure. A few
CDs - notably From Burbank To Memphis - claim to have alternate mixes but these are merely one
isolated channel from the master take. Hopefully we managed to include all the "real" mixes here!!
