Elvis Presley - 'SINGER Presents ELVIS – Radio Special' and more 2CD

SINGER Presents ELVIS – The Radio Specials (2CD Limited Edition Set)

Step back into the golden age of radio with this exclusive limited edition 2CD set featuring three rare radio specials from 1967 and 1968, originally produced to promote some of Elvis Presley’s most iconic releases.

CD 1 features a previously unreleased radio special that originally aired on December 1st, 1968, created to promote the now-legendary NBC '68 Comeback Special, along with its accompanying album and Elvis’ four celebrated ‘Golden Records’ compilations. Narrated by announcer Jerry Jay, it captures the excitement surrounding Elvis’ powerful return to the spotlight.

CD 2 opens with a radio broadcast from March 19, 1967, timed with the Easter season and crafted to promote the gospel masterpiece ‘How Great Thou Art,’ which had just been released weeks earlier. The disc concludes with a festive special from December 3, 1967, spotlighting Elvis’ Christmas and religious albums and singles — the perfect gift suggestion for fans during the holiday season. These specials were broadcast on hundreds of radio stations across the United States, showcasing the Colonel’s knack for nationwide promotion.

With all audio lovingly restored for optimal sound quality, this set offers a unique glimpse into the promotional machine behind the King — and the timeless music that kept fans tuning in. “Buy Elvis for Christmas... or any time of year!” as the Colonel would say.
