Elvis Presley’s Lost Album “Unfinished Business” Resurfaces After 35 Years
In an unexpected twist that has sent shockwaves through the music world, a lost album by Elvis Presley, the King of
Rock ‘n’ Roll himself, has resurfaced after 35 years. The album, which has been long speculated to exist but was
thought to be lost to history, was recently discovered in a dusty archive at an unassuming estate sale. Music fans and
collectors alike are buzzing with excitement as this album promises to be a significant addition to the Presley legacy.
The Discovery
The album was found by an anonymous buyer at an estate sale in Memphis, Tennessee, where the seller, who
reportedly had ties to Presley’s inner circle, claimed the record was a rare demo from the 1980s. A quick
investigation confirmed its authenticity, sending ripples through both the Presley fan community and the larger
music industry.
The album, titled “Unfinished Business”, was initially recorded in the early ’80s after Presley’s famed comeback in
the late ’60s. Many believed it was either lost during a period of upheaval in Presley’s career or shelved by his record
label due to shifting musical trends and an attempt to reshape his public image. Regardless of its backstory, the re-
emergence of these previously unheard tracks is a monumental moment for fans and historians.
What’s On The Record?
While the album’s full tracklist has yet to be officially revealed, early reports have confirmed that “Unfinished
Business” features a mix of rock, blues, and soulful ballads that were signature to Presley’s style. What makes this
discovery especially intriguing is that the demo recordings include several unreleased songs, some of which are
rumored to be co-written with famous figures of the time, including Jerry Lee Lewis and legendary songwriter Mac
Davis.
The tracks are said to reveal an entirely different side to Presley’s music, showcasing a more mature, introspective
artist that reflects the challenges he faced in his later years. Fans who had long felt that Presley’s later catalog lacked
the raw energy of his earlier hits will be in for a pleasant surprise.
The Preservation and Release
Music archivists have already begun the process of preserving the recordings, ensuring that the album is of the
highest quality before it hits the shelves. A representative from the Presley estate confirmed that the album will be
officially released later this year, with a special vinyl edition for collectors.
The release will be accompanied by a documentary about the album’s discovery and the story behind its creation. In
addition, there are plans for a limited-edition box set that will include remastered tracks, unreleased photos, and a
book detailing the making of “Unfinished Business”.
A New Chapter for Elvis Presley’s Legacy
Elvis Presley’s legacy has long been solidified as one of the greatest in music history, but this rediscovery is a
reminder that the King’s influence extends far beyond the hits we all know and love. The prospect of hearing these
lost songs provides an exciting opportunity to revisit Presley’s musical evolution, showing that even after all these
years, his artistry continues to surprise and inspire.
With the resurgence of vinyl and renewed interest in classic rock, the timing of this release could not be better. Long-
time Elvis fans, as well as newer generations of listeners, will have the chance to discover a side of Presley that few
have ever heard.
In the end, this lost album is not just a new piece of musical history – it’s a testament to Elvis Presley’s enduring
influence, proving that even after 35 years, the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll is far from forgotten.
