Product discription: Loving You + Jailhouse Rock Mini-Lp Replica Cd New


The amazing and controversial Mr. Presley is in the headlines again this time as the star of the Paramount Picture “Loving You.” Cast as a small-town boy who unexpectedly sings his way into fame, Elvis is co-starred with Wendell Corey and Lizabeth Scott in Hal Wallis' Production. The movie is by turns amusing, touching and exciting as it tells the story of the young “Local Talent” –Elvis– who suddenly becomes successful. Side one features Elvis singing seven of the wonderful new songs written especially for the movie. On side two he gives his own very special vocal treatment of five well-known popular ballads. Accompanying Elvis in all the numbers are his usual three musicians –Bill Black on bass, Scotty Moore on guitar and D. J. Fontana on drums. In addition, Elvis is assisted by Dudley Brooks, a very accomplished pianist whom Elvis first met when he started to make “Loving You.” Elvis has used him on all his recording sessions since. And finally, Elvis has the able backing of The Jordanaires, the vocal quartet which has appeared on so many of his hit records.

Product discription: Elvis Is Back! + a Date W/Elvis Mini Lp-Replica CD (2 LPs 1 CD Plus 6 bonus tracks)


This quintessential release features two of Elvis Presley finest LPs, which were originally released on the RCA label: "Elvis Is Back!" (1960) and "A Date with Elvis" (1959). Both masterpieces helped define the exact nature of early rock & roll and contain the commercial successes with which the KING OF ROCK made his name, such as “Good Rockin' Tonight”, “Fever”, “Blue Moon of Kentucky”, “It Fee s So Right”, and “Such a Night”, among other hits. These albums have been packaged together in this very special collector's edition, which also includes 6 bonus tracks. The music is striking for its raw and visceral quality, in fact, it was more exciting than the material on his last pre-Army Lp release, the King Creole soundtrack. This is as rebellious, engaging and rousing as early rock & roll can sound. Total Time: 69:23
