Elvis recorded his 34th album in 1968 from June 20 through 23 at Western Recorders in Hollywood, and then in front of a live audience at the NBC Studios on June 27 and 29. These sessions were for the television special dubbed the “’68 Comeback Special,” which aired on NBC on December 3, 1968, shortly after RCA released the album, entitled simply Elvis, in November 1968. The broadcast of the special ranked as the top-rated television special of that year and was credited with revitalizing Elvis’ career.
