Love,
Elvis, which will be released January 25, also includes classics
"Can't Helping Falling In Love," "It's Now or Never" (both with
The Jordanaires) "Love Me Tender," and "I Want You, I Need You,
I Love You." This collection spans Elvis' entire career, featuring
recordings from 1956 to 1977.
BMG
Strategic Marketing is also launching a reissue program of
Elvis Presley's albums with the January 11 re-releases of
Elvis Presley, Elvis and Loving You, the King's first three
albums and three of rock ‘n' roll's all time greats. Each
release is digitally remastered using DSD Technology for optimum
sound and each reissue includes bonus tracks, rare photographs,
and original album art.
The
first rock n' roll album ever to reach no. 1, the March 1956
Elvis Presley includes "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Blue Moon"
and the bonus tracks include the hit single "Heartbreak Hotel."
Its distinctive album cover, with a black and white picture
of a gyrating Elvis and the title written in pink and green,
became so iconic that The Clash referenced it on their 1979
'London Calling' LP. Released in October 1956, the No. 1 Elvis,
which counts "Don't Be Cruel," "Hound Dog," and "Love Me Tender"
among its bonus tracks, was Presley's first release conceived
as an album in its entirety.
Made
up of eighteen tracks, Elvis also includes a rare treat, the
King's first ever self-accompaniment on piano on "Old Shep,"
which he had previously sung in 1945 at the Mississippi-Alabama
Fair and Dairy Show. While side one of 1957's No. 1 Loving
You was the film's soundtrack, side two featured Elvis singing
popular ballads.
This
reissue includes twenty tracks. Sony BMG Music Entertainment
is a global recorded music joint venture between Bertelsmann
and Sony Corporation with a roster of current artists that
includes a broad array of both local artists and international
superstars, as well as a vast catalog that comprises some
of the most important recordings in history.
