ELVIS SINGS MEMPHIS TENNESSEE

ELVIS SINGS MEMPHIS TENNESSEE is a concept album created by the Follow That Dream (FTD) Collector's Label. Plans for a non-soundtrack studio album were in the works when Elvis stepped into RCA Studio B in Nashville in May, 1963. But due to a hectic soundtrack release schedule, plans for the non-soundtrack album were eventually scrapped and the recordings from those May, 1963 sessions wound up being scattered as soundtrack bonus songs and single releases throughout the early to mid 1960's. Taken from RCA's original concept, ELVIS SINGS MEMPHIS TENNESSEE is the album that never was.
