Quick Look: Elvis / Aloha from Hawaii Via Satellite legacy edition

By Paul Sinclair

Last month’s reissue of Elvis‘s Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite may not have matched the luxury of last year’s Prince From Another Planet release, but this two-CD set is still a well-packaged affair, with a decent 24-page booklet (notes by Stuart Colman) and a six panel digi-pack with transparent disc trays revealing original map graphics.

The bonus disc had been previously released as The Alternate Aloha, but this edition features a newly remixed version of that rehearsal show and five bonus songs.

Normally we’re champions of not messing around with original album covers, but this is one occasion where RCA/Legacy might have considered changing the abomination that is the original sleeve.
