Book written and CDs compiled by Trevor Simpson / CD Mastered by Jan Eliasson.

As the second volume of Elvis: His Songs Of Praise, this book completes the story chronicling a further 51 sacred, spiritual and inspirational gospel songs to add to the 55 songs featured in the first volume.

Once again, the story of each song is told in extensively researched detail; also observe the high quality and subtle differences on the front cover and many other photographs of Elvis throughout the 350 pages. Elvis' vast knowledge and diversity of spiritual music is fully highlighted within the combined 700 pages, his sincere interpretations of them and how he dipped into music from the gospel category throughout his career.

Running at over 79 minutes, the 32 track CD issued with this book features many rare and officially unreleased tracks. These include many "Pure Elvis" undubbed studio masters, a dozen rare performances from 1956 to 1977 taken from "live shows", studio and movie outtakes plus impromptu recordings.

An added bonus is the officially unreleased December 3rd 1967 Christmas Radio Special, Season's Greetings From Elvis, shipped to 2,000 radio stations across America for the festive season.

Although 'You'll Never Walk Alone' (track 10) is listed as the extemded master, it is actually take 2 that appears here.

'Bosom Of Abraham / You Better Run' (track 16) is listed as being from the March 31 1972 rehearsal, but it is a splice with the live version on 'Bosom Of Abraham', from Alexandria on March 29 1977, and the rehearsal of 'You Better Run' from March 31 1972.

'The First Noel' and 'O Come, All Ye Faithful' were recorded on May 16 1971, and not May 21 1971 as shown on the track listing.
