Very nice CD Chris.
The last times this was sold for a higher price.
Not under 35-50 US Dollar.
Now hard to find and locate.

i actually have this release on cassete. I have almost forgotten that audio format. I don't think it still works, and i have no assete player to find out.

Hey, that's funny Einar! My CD/DVD-player is in for repairs, so the other day I found a box I had put away, which contained all of my old cassette tapes. Quite funny to see them again. One of those I played yesterday was "Welcome To My World" (made in Greece)...

Hey, that is really cool.
Welcome to my world Made in Greece.
Never heard about this one.

on the cd version of welcome to my world there a track on there
called your cheatin heart is an alt-take version-take-9 this was released
by mistake, so this make the cd rare.
everything eles is the same has the original vinyl lp.

I have this on CD! What does the cd look alike? Mine is black stock with silver print. Is it hard to find?

I have this on vinyl bus my record player broke down years ago.
Nice song lineup.

i have it on vinyl and my truntable still playing my vinyls

and putting them on cdrs so for me no need to buy the cd.

but nice album anyway.

I have the original vinal release of this in addition to a cassette tape which I have purchased. A nice collection of songs and the cover art work is very nice. However, I remember thinking it was an unusal release when it was first issued. Nevertheless, it is a good album.

I agree Barry that is one awesome cover and its got great setlist so looks pretty good to me [img]style_emoticons/default/cheers.gif[/img]

Anyone know who painted the Painting used on the cover?

the basic for the painting from this cover is a TTWII photo; it's a serie of several paintings made in the early 70's.
in the past I have seen this serie of 4 paintings in the living room of a friend of mine; I don't know if his paintings were original or printed. I don't know the name of the original painter.
that's all I know about the paintings.

Yes, i ment i had seen a simmilar picture from a TTWII Reharsal. But the painted jumpsuit seems to look a little like the Aloha Eagle. Os here we have a Elvis in 1970 with a flashy '73 jump suit.

Yep, it's based on this TTWII rehearsal picture. The painting shown on the back of the LP cover gives us a little more of Elvis and it looks as if only the collar was that "stoned". The artist's signature is on the painting (guess it's barely visible on those tiny CD covers... lol), but I'm not quite sure what it says... [img]style_emoticons/default/undecided.gif[/img]

I DO BELIEVE THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ALBUMS ISSUED BY RCA WHEN IT BECAME HARDER FOR THEM TO GET ELVIS TO RECORD,IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT IN THE UK IT CAME OUT BEFORE MOODY BLUE,NICE COMPILATION THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
