Elvis Memories on Blue Panda Radio Gold

Hello fellow Elvis fans!
I am delighted to announce that I will be featuring the brand new Elvis release from our friends at https://www.rdm-edition.fr on this week’s “Elvis Memories” show.
It’s Elvis’ second album to be released in the UK and Ireland but with a twist. Yes that wonderful technician Anthony Stuchbury has remastered the album from mono to stereo and the sound is quite amazing. Now Anthony is a busy man but I will endeavour to contact him during the show and we can get a personalised, in depth analysis from the producer himself.
You can hear all the songs featured on the album, plus extras, this Sunday at 5pm on Blue Panda Radio Gold.
Elvisly yours,
John Kavanagh
