       [center]Elvis On CD
       Two years after the first Compact Disc (CD) was released, RCA
       issued an Elvis Presley CD. In 1984, when the CD-box entitled
       ‘The Legend’ became available in German stores, the triumphal
       procession of ‘Elvis on CD’ became unstoppable.
       Worldwide, no other artist has matched the number of Elvis-CDs
       released, counting both official releases and un-authorised
       ones.
       Many of these CDs are still available today. Older releases are
       being revised and updated to today’s state of the art sound
       technology, so ‘Elvis on CD’ may be re-discovered by fans.
       The official publisher* (RCA / BMG / Sony) have released more
       than 600 different Elvis audio CDs. In addition, there are
       special releases of CD-series such as the rare ‘German
       Bertelsmann Club Edition’ and authorised publications by other
       companies (e.g. ‘Time Life’ or ‘Reader’s Digest’).
       Nowadays, some of these CDs have gained collector’s item status
       and become very valuable. Sought-after collectibles include the
       original first releases of CDs such as ‘Elvis’, ‘Elvis Presley’
       or ‘Elvis’ Golden Records’. More recent releases have also
       become rarities, because they were issued in limited number or
       in only a few countries, making them difficult to find.
       Fans also value bootleg-CDs** (also called ‘import-CDs’),
       because these releases give the Elvis-fan access to hitherto
       unknown live- or studio material.
       In 1988, the first ‘bootleg’-CD appeared on the market. Fans
       discovered previously unpublished material on the bootlegs ‘Hot
       and Tight’ and ‘The Hollywood Sessions’. Since then, more than
       700 bootleg-releases have been published. Every year more CDs
       are launched into the market. Due to today’s technology,
       previously unknown concert recordings are available in improved
       quality.
       On our websites, we offer CD-releases by RCA / BMG / Sony, also
       by the official collector’s label ’Follow That Dream’ (FTD),
       plus promo CDs (CDs released for promotional purposes) and, of
       course, bootleg CDs as well.
       Much more is waiting for you on our web pages.
       Have fun with ‘Elvis on CD’.
