Udgivelser

Soundtrack udgivelser

Udgivelserne af lydsporet fra TV showet – altså soundtracket – kom den 22. november 1968, altså 12 dage før selve showet havde premiere på TV. RCA havde dog sluppet et par numre løs allerede i oktober måned, som smagsprøver på hvad der ventede.

Singer Presents Elvis Singing Flaming Star and Others

RCA Victor PRS 279. Udgivet oktober 1968

På promotion albummet, der kun blev solgt i amerikanske “Singer” forretninger, var “Tiger Man” fra det andet “Sit-down show” inkluderet. Dette var den allerførste lydoptagelse fra TV showet der blev udgivet.
“Tiger Man” er faktisk ikke engang med i selve showet, og heller ikke på det færdige soundtrack album.
Resten af sangene på albummet bestod af filmsange.
Dette markerer også første gang man bruger et af de helt nye promotion billeder, der er lavet ifbm. TV showet.

If I Can Dream / Edge Of Reality​

RCA Victor 47-9670. Udgivet 29. oktober 1968

Singlen der var forløberen for selve albummet.

Elvis (NBC TV Special)

Den 25. februar 1969 blev “Memories” også udgivet på singleplade, sandsynligvis i håbet om at få et lille hit ud af den.

I løbet af årene udgiver RCA enkelte numre fra TV showets live optagelser. Bl.a. dukker der nogle op på “Legendary Performer” serien. I 1980 på “Sølv boksen” udgives endnu flere live numre.

I 1980’erne udkommer de komplette “Sit-down” og “Stand-up” shows på bootleg LP’er. Disse bliver ikke udgivet officielt af RCA før mange år senere.

Video og DVD udgivelser

Der er siden midt 1980’erne udgivet en del forskellige versioner af showet. Først på VHS video, siden hen på DVD.

Ligeledes blev det andet sit-down show udgivet i 1985 på VHS video, under titlen “One Night With You”. Denne kom også på DVD i starten af 0’erne.

Men i 2004 valgte Graceland/EPE (der ejer rettighederne til optagelserne) at udgive det hele! Alle fire liveshows sammen med alle outtakes fra de andre optagelser, er samlet i denne udgivelse.

Samtidigt valgte man også at udgive en enkelt DVD, der kun indeholdte selve showet.

I 2018 blev det hele genudgivet på 2 Blu-ray skiver i den definitive box.

'68 Comeback Special - Deluxe Edition DVD

3 DVD Box-set
Udgivet 2004

I juni 2004 udkom “’68 Comeback Special (Deluxe Edition DVD)”. En udgivelse indeholdende tre DVD’er med alt eksisterende videomateriale fra indspilningerne til showet. Hvis man ønsker et indblik i, hvordan en stor TV-produktion anno 1968 blev lavet, er denne udgivelse værd at gå efter. Den giver et fantastisk indblik i arbejdet med at producere showet, ligesom det er morsomt at se, hvordan de forskellige scener og sekvenser bliver optaget.
