ELVIS PRESLEY – CHRISTMAS WITH ELVIS AND THE ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA
For anyone that loved the music of the King himself and now for the new generation to have this on come out in time for the Santa list is to me a must have gift or to have in your collection. I cherish a good christmas album and this year it will be Elvis joining us at the table and each and every song just fills you up and gets you in the mood of season. This is special release to the 60th anniversary of ELVIS’ CHRISTMAS ALBUM. It is just divine. With the season kicking in what better time to get into the jingles and favourite tunes we all love at this time of the year with Elvis.
