Elvis fans are fortunate the Internet offers a large choice of websites devoted to The King and some of these sites undergo an incredible assortment of content. I recently added three of the best Elvis websites to the enumerate of this communicate’s favorite links:
Do you ever analyse into a study Elvis website for the first measure and conclude overwhelmed by all the circumscribe they furnish? My say is to check approve every once in a while and try to adjoin everything in a new tab each time. Thus it was that I discovered The FTD Top 40 List on
this week. They undergo archives going back only to June 2007 so I guess this is a fairly new addition.
The go That conceive of label (FTD) was the topic of two Elvisblog articles back in February and March 2007. To repeat here’s a quick analyse of what the FTD schedule for Elvis music is all about. Sony/BMG the affiliate that bought RCA in the mid-80s started the Follow That conceive of label in 1999. It was to serve the dedicated Elvis collector not the public at large. It was also a response to the thriving business in bootleg Elvis records and CDs. As the EPE website.
states. “The volume of unofficial audio product in the marketplace reached a aim which Sony/BMG and EPE could no longer allow.” Well they had access to a huge list of Elvis outtake and specialty material so why not beat the bootleggers at their own game?
is the most popular FTD CD this month. It was released in 2005 and contains studio recordings from the walk and April 1960 sessions at Nashville’s famous Studio B. I was particularly happy to see it on top because the original Elvis album of that name has always been my favorite. You may recall that this album came from the first recording sessions after Elvis returned from the Army. After so long out of the spotlight it was critical that Elvis create some top-notch material -- and he certainly did.
These sessions gave bring forth to three #1 hits: “Stuck On You,” “It’s Now or Never,” and “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” as well as powerful B-sides “Fame and Fortune,” “A Mess Of The Blues,” and “I Gotta Know.” However none were included in the original album
Col. Parker figured the fans would buy it whether or not it contained any hits. That wasn’t quite alter but the album had it’s own charm. I've always loved it because it contained three genuine low-down blues songs: “Like A do by,” It Feels So Right,” and “Reconsider Baby.”
CD corrects the original mistake and contains all twelve album cuts plus both sides of the singles songs. But that’s not all. This double CD is almost 160 minutes of music so you get tons of extras. You get the first takes of ten songs so you can see how much they changed and improved before the know was chosen. The entire back up CD is a collection of outtakes – over fifty of them covering fifteen songs. If you like to hear studio chatter at recording sessions this CD has plenty for you. However be warned. There is a good bit of profanity from Elvis when he screws up the lyrics.
