Press Note:
Mahalo From Elvis is a compilation album by RCA / Camden released posthumously
in 1978.
It consists five (then) previously unissued tracks Presley recorded in
Honolulu on January 14, 1973 for inclusion in the U.S.-version of the live
concert TV special 'Aloha from Hawaii' (these tracks are not considered "live"
recordings, as no audience was present).
The recording of No More, was not used
in the special.
All other songs were previously issued recordings originating from the Presley
movie soundtracks 'It Happened At The Worlds' Fair', 'Harum Scarum' and 'Double
Trouble'.
Camden re-released the album with a different cover and album title in
1979 ('The King...').
The original album was released in 1991 in Canada by RCA
Special Products , but both the sound quality and the quality of the cover print
were very bad.
This original CD release is now only available on the www for
very high prices, and is a true collectors item. The original album was
certified Gold by the R.I.A.A. on 9/15/2011.
We are very proud to present this album in a stunning 6 panel digipack with
superb ( original ) artwork / sound quality, using the new masters for the
original tracklist!
Also we added some rare outtakes of each track, making this
finally the CD release the 'Mahalo From Elvis' album deserves.
