Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, announced the release of The Wonder Of You: Elvis Presley With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for late October.

The new album is the follow up to last year's If I Can Dream: Elvis Presley With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, which topped charts worldwide and sold over 1.5 million copies.

The Wonder Of You focuses on the unmistakable voice with new orchestral accompaniment.

Recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London with acclaimed producers Don Reedman and Nick Patrick, the album features Elvis' most dramatic original performances augmented with new arrangements by The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

The album spans a variety of musical styles that Elvis embraced, from rock and gospel to country and ballads, featuring Presley classics along with several surprises.

Standout tracks include "A Big Hunk O' Love," "Amazing Grace," "Kentucky Rain," "Always On My Mind," and "I've Got A Thing About You Baby."

The first single from the new album, "A Big Hunk O' Love," can be streamed now at ElvisTheMusic.

The Wonder Of You: Elvis Presley With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will be released on CD, 150g gatefold 2LP, and digital formats.

"Elvis always loved the great, operatic vocalists," says Priscilla Presley, executive producer of The Wonder of You.

"We often talked about his interest in recording material that allowed him to perform in that space.

It's exciting to hear him on these recordings, performing with the world-class Royal Philharmonic Orchestra via the magic of Abbey Road Studios.

He would have loved these performances and I'm very happy that we were able to make this dream come true for Elvis and his fans."

This autumn will also see the world exclusive live concert experience featuring the most recognizable voice of all time, Elvis Presley, backed by the legendary Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, for a six date UK arena run in November.

Fans will have the chance to experience the man who changed the course of popular music - the biggest selling solo artist in history (having sold an astonishing one billion records worldwide), on screen, with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra live on stage performing renditions of songs from If I Can Dream and The Wonder Of You.

The Wonder Of You is scheduled to release on October 21.
