The Night Elvis Reclaimed His Crown — Now on CD.
June 1968. Elvis Presley stepped back onto a stage for the first time since 1961 — and reminded the world exactly why he was called The King. When the special aired on December 3, 1968, it was the week's highest-rated television program, and it changed the course of music history.

I recently saw the new movie Elvis and wanted a CD to commemorate him. This is perfect with all of my favorite songs.

There are certain music periods in the career of Elvis which require mandatory listening. This collection of the ‘68 Special is one of them. It is an incredible CD and I highly recommend it for any fan of Elvis or rock and roll.

Fantastic. This is a must have. If you have never seen the video of the actual show, you need this. This is Elvis at his best (singing and joking)
