Here is a rare
promotional CD from China, apparently never
released.
Updated August 15:
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 but we were able to obtain a
pre release sheet on this special promo version.
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.
