    Yes it is. However, I think the version here is from Memphis '74.

    One question do......isn't How great thou Art a 60's song?
    Thx, Ron! Yes the song is from the 60's but...Elvis won a grammy for the live version of this song in 1974! and it was never put out as a single in that year and i tought if RCA released this song as a single, before the album came out, that it was a good promo for the complete album. So that's my idea behind this single and i will use that promotion for the back cover of this single. And this song is a real killer version, i like this version just a little more than the praised version from 1977 (omaha 1977 that is).

    very cool, patrick!!!

    And here is the cospel history:

    1967 winner 'best sacred performance' How Great Thou Art - "album"
    1967 nominated 'best engineerd album' How Great Thou Art - "Jim Malloy"
    1968 nominated 'best sacred performance' You'll Never Walk Alone.
    1972 nominated 'best inspirational performance' He Touched Me - "album"
    1974 winner 'best inspirational performance' How Great Thou Art - 'live version'

    So now you have all the award history of the cospel music

    Cheers Steve.

    I like the back cover a lot particularly the promo bit you added for the Memphis 74 FTD CD - a nice touch.

    Looking good Patrick...nice work

    I agree with Ron...that maybe a nice 70's style font maybe would improve it even more....

    Great cover Patrick

    One question: how many fonttypes do you have? I strikes me everytime again that you limit yourself to using the same few fonts over and over (and mostly used as 'bold'). If you need more fonts, I'd be more than happy to sent you a huge collection.

    WHAT A GREAT IDEA PATRICK!!!

    It would have been VERY COOL if RCA had indeed released a promotional single for HOW GREAT THOU ART, especially to draw attention to the fact that it was a Grammy award winner!!! Another missed opportunity in Elvis' career, unfortunately!!

    Nevertheless, your cover design for this promotional single is EXCELLENT my friend!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!

    TCB!
