The Kings Of Christmas

Since Paul Simon we know that there are probably fifty ways to leave a lover. We certainly do know that there are even much more ways to make money by releasing Elvis' 1957 Christmas songs on budget cds again and again. The latest way was found by German-Dutch label "H'Art / Smith & Co." which will release the cd "Elvis Presley & Frank Sinatra - The Kings Of Christmas" on October 22, 2010. The album contains 24 well-known tracks, 12 of each artist, public domain songs only.

Welcome To The Jungle

Venus Productions will soon release a new CD, carrying you back in time, right into Elvis' den, known to everyone as the Jungle Room. Welcome To The Jungle - Solitaire is a compilation of released and unreleased tracks recorded in February 1976. '' There was a man, a lonely man....'' is certainly a line the rock singer had on his mind during those early February winter nights behind Graceland's walls, and he felt Neil Sedaka's song could work very well for him. On this CD you can hear the progress from the very first take through the master take.

The following night Elvis seemed to enjoy himself while recording what would become the title of his very last album. The song Moody Blue had a very modern sound for early 1976, very disco-like and it had a fair amount of air play all over the USA in late 1976 and early 1977. Elvis is clearly having fun recording this number, yet he ignored to include it into his live appearances, excepted for a brief attempt on February 20, 1977 and finally had a go at it the next night for his first and only performance .

The excellent sound quality will bring you right into the action that happened in the jungle room when those songs were being recorded. The CD will be presented to you in a standard jewel case, completed with a beautiful 16 page booklet.

This is the follow-up to Christmas Today

50 Australlian Top Ten Hits 1956-1977

Released: 2010/01/08 by Sony Music Australia
Rating: 
Sony Music Entertainment celebrates the 75th anniversary of The King's birthday in style with the release of Elvis Presley: 50 Australian Top Ten Hits 1956-1977 in Australia.


This double CD set is the first ever Elvis Presley Australian hits compilation. Together with the 50 hit songs, an 18 page booklet containing specially written liner notes and images of original RCA releases, and CD label art inspired by his first album release, the set provides a unique insight into Elvis Presley's popularity in Australia, a country where he managed an incredible twenty-year streak of placing hits on the singles charts.
Expect such hits as 'Heartbreak Hotel', his first Top Ten hit which peaked at #3 in July 1956. Others include 'Jailhouse Rock' (November 1957), 'Can't Help Falling In Love' (December 1961), 'In the Ghetto' (July 1969) and 'Suspicious Minds' (October 1969). Although Elvis never travelled to Australia, it was, and remains, one of his most successful territories outside of the United States. He is ranked #1 Solo Male Artist in this territory with the most #1s (1956 to 2009) with 14 #1 singles in this period. He also has the record for the number of years between his first #1 single and his last one - the first was in May 1959 with 'A Fool Such As I', the last in June 2002 with 'A Little Less Conversation'. In this period he had 120 chart topping singles.
Elvis Presley's success is not only measured in sales numbers and #1 hits but a unique combinati

Here Come The Stars


This is the cover of the upcoming Straight Arrow CD Here Come The Stars, containing the Dinner Show in Las Vegas on December 4, 1976.


From the press-release:

The next release from Straight Arrow (SA 2009-14-02), will be the Las Vegas December 4th, 1976 Dinner show. Together with Opening night (released as "LAST VEGAS OPENING NIGHT", SA 2009-12A/B-02) it is the strongest concert of Elvis's last Las Vegas season, containing excellent performances of "Tryin' To Get To You", "America", "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Hurt" and "How Great Thou Art". An absolute highlight is a mesmerizing recitation of "What Now My Love".
This recording was previously released in 1995 on the hard-to-find CD "Love Letters From Nevada". Now the tape was restored using today's advanced technology, and the sound quality is excellent – really remarkable for an off-line source. The bonus tracks were added from an independent original tape of the same show, recorded using a cassette recorder equipped with two microphones. This alternate source, though inferior, does exhibit noticeable channel separation and natural ambience. 
Just like all previous releases from this label, this new CD will come in a deluxe package with a 16-page booklet, containing a collection of photographs taken between December 3 - 7, 1976 and informative liner notes as written by a lucky fan WHO WAS THERE. This CD is set for release on December 15.

Following is the track listing for Elvis Presley: 50 Australian Top Ten Hits 1956-1977 that will be released on January 8, 2010. This is the first ever Elvis Presley Australian hits compilation. Together with the 50 hit songs, an 18 page booklet containing specially written liner notes and images of original RCA releases, and CD label art inspired by his first album release, the set provides a unique insight into Elvis Presley's popularity in Australia, a country where he managed an incredible twenty-year streak of placing hits on the singles charts.

We have included the liner note text from eight of the tracks as a sneak prieview.

Tracklisting:

Tk1: Heartbreak Hotel (#3 - 1956)

Tk2: Love Me Tender (#6 - 1957)

Tk3: All Shook Up (#5 - 1957)

Tk4: (Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear (#8 - 1957)

Tk5: Jailhouse Rock (#3 - 1957)

Tk6: Don't (#9 - 1958)

Tk7: Wear My Ring Around Your Neck (#4 - 1958)

Tk8: Hard Headed Woman (#2 - 1958)

Tk9: I Got Stung (#10 - 1959)

Tk10: (Now And Then There's) A Fool Such As I (#1 - 1959)

Single number twenty-five, 'A Fool Such As I', became Elvis' first No.1 national single, spending six weeks during May and June at the top of the Australian charts and taking only five weeks to get there.

Tk11: A Big Hunk O' Love (#2 - 1959)

Tk12: Stuck On You (#1 - 1960)

Tk13: It's Now Or Never (#1 - 1960)

At seven weeks at No.1, 'It's Now Or Never' is Elvis' longest running number one in Australia.

This was the first of four back-to-back No.1's for Elvis in Australia.

Tk14: Are You Lonesome Tonight? (#1 - 1960)

Tk15: Wooden Heart (#1 - 1961)

Tk16: Surrender (#1 - 1961)

Tk17: (Marie's The Name) His Latest Flame (#2 - 1961)

Tk18: Little Sister (#2 - 1961)

Tk19: Can't Help Falling In Love (#1 - 1961)

Tk20: Good Luck Charm (#1 - 1962)

Tk21: She's Not You (#5 - 1962)

Tk22: Return To Sender (#1 - 1962)

Tk23: One Broken Heart For Sale (#9 - 1963)

Tk24: (You're The) Devil In Disguise (#2 - 1963)

Tk25: Bossa Nova Baby (#4 - 1963) 

Tk26: Viva Las Vegas (#4 - 1964)

Tk27: Such A Night (#3 - 1964)

Tk28: Kissin' Cousins (#7 - 1964)

Tk29: It Hurts Me (#7 - 1964)

Tk30: Ain't That Lovin' You Baby (#1 - 1964)

'Ain't That Lovin' You Baby' was released as a double A-side single with the ballad 'Ask Me' and was Elvis' tenth No.1 hit in Australia, for three weeks from mid-November 1964. This song was originally recorded in June 1958, and while RCA pushed radio stations to play 'Ask Me' most ignored this and played the up-tempo 1958 recording and it was the older song that fans purchased the single for.

Tk31: Do The Clam (#4 - 1965)

'Do The Clam' has never featured on an Elvis greatest hits compilation before, so here it is. Hitting No.1 in Brisbane, and No.4 nationally for two weeks in late May 1965, it didn't do so well overseas.

Tk32: Crying In The Chapel (#1 - 1965)

Tk33: (Such An) Easy Question (#6 - 1965)

Tk34: I'm Yours (#9 - 1965)

Tk35: Judy (#5 - 1967)

Originally recorded by Elvis for his 1961 album 'Something For Everybody', the song 'Judy' eventually climbed to No.5 in mid-December of 1967 and was his first Top 10 entry in Australia in almost two years.

Tk36: If I Can Dream (#2 - 1969)

Tk37: Edge Of Reality (#2 - 1969)

Tk38: In The Ghetto (#1 - 1969)

Tk39: Suspicious Minds (#1 - 1969)

This song would become Elvis' last No.1 single in Australia whilst he was still alive, and was also the last No.1 single of the 1960's, and held the top spot to also become the first No.1 of the 1970's.

Tk40: Don't Cry Daddy (#3 - 1970)

Tk41: Rubberneckin' (#3 - 1970)

Elvis' last movie was the dramatic film 'Change Of Habit', where he played a Doctor at an inner city hospital who falls in love with a nun played by Mary Tyler-Moore. One of only three songs in the film was the track 'Rubberneckin', which was remixed in 2003 and hit No.3. It was originally released as a double A side single with the Mac Davis penned song 'Don't Cry Daddy' in 1970 and reached No.3 for two weeks in March.

Tk42: Kentucky Rain (#9 - 1970)

Not since 1961 had Elvis scored six Top 10 singles in a year, and after his comeback special in 1968, he was back on the top of his musical game. The third of six top tens for him during 1970 was the No.9 single 'Kentucky Rain', which hit its peak in mid-May, and is another melancholy track which shows off his deep baritone voice.

Tk43: The Wonder Of You (#3 - 1970)

Tk44: I've Lost You (#6 - 1970)

Tk45: You Don't Have To Say You Love Me (#7 - 1970)

Tk46: Burning Love (#3 - 1972)

Tk47: Separate Ways (#8 - 1973)

Tk48: My Boy (#10 - 1975)

Tk49: Pledging My Love (#6 - 1977)

Tk50: Way Down (#6 - 1977)
