FTD VINYL is please to announce the release of "ELVIS - THE FOOL ALBUM". Originally released in July 1973, this album's track listing changed dramatically from RCA's internal documents circulated just one month before. Here for the first time, DISC 1 features the LP sequenced as ORIGINALLY PLANNED. The LP artwork also replicates the original draft layout before it was amended. DISC 2 includes outtakes from the sessions that contributed to the album. Highlights include the rare fully orchestrated version of 'FOOL" and the 11-minute plus version of "DON'T THINK TWICE IT'S ALRIGHT."
