January 2020 would be the 85th birthday of the King Of Rock 'n' Roll. Now the first One-Artist BRAVO-Edition will be released in cooperation with the cult brand BRAVO and only in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

The elaborate 3CD set contains all the great hits and many rarities that make the product unique. The booklet partly contains photos and excerpts from the BRAVO archive. The former BRAVO editor-in-chief Alex Gernandt (special member of the German Elvis Presley Society, writes the preface and looks back on the unique career of Elvis Presley.

The official and authorized Elvis 85 product (Sony Music, RCA USA) is certainly one of the most extraordinary products and can be called a rarity even before its release. This title will therefore be sold out very quickly.
