In der Ankündigung heißt es: Als Teil der SESSIONS-Reihe freut sich FTD, die Veröffentlichung von ELVIS PRESLEY - GUITAR MAN - THE '67/'68 SESSIONS bekannt zu geben. Das 5-CD-Set enthält die RCA-Sessions im RCA-Studio B in Nashville. Zu den Highlights vom September 1967 gehören der Titelsong sowie „Hi Heel Sneakers“, „Big Boss Man“ und „You Don’t Know Me“. Im Januar 1968 wurden „Too Much Monkey Business“ und „U.S. Male“ aufgenommen. Das 24-seitige Booklet enthält seltene Fotos, Infos zu den Sessions, Memorabilia und Daten zu den weltweiten Charts und Veröffentlichungen.
