Elvis / “That's The Way It Is” 4LP

Sony’s expanded reissue of the Elvis That’s The Way It Is album will be released as a deluxe 4LP vinyl edition next month.

Originally released in November 1970, the album combined eight studio tracks, recorded in Nashville, and four live concert performances recorded in Las Vegas.

This brand new 4LP version contains the original album expanded with four single sides from the period, and a selection of outtakes from the June Nashville sessions that produced the majority of tracks for the album.

It’s packaged in a deluxe triple gatefold sleeve and comes with 16-page booklet with photos and new liner notes. An expansive super deluxe box set was reviewed by this blog a few weeks ago which contains eight CDs and two DVDs.

That’s The Way It Is deluxe 4LP is released on 22 September.
