Album Sales Tips From RCA Victor (Special album release for November 1964)

We've had original soundtrack recordings by Elvis in the past and we needn't dwell on their great success, but the new 'Roustabout' album is undoubtedly on of the finest we've had! 'It's A Wonderful World' and 'Big Love Big Heartache' are delivered smoothly to a smooth Latin-flavored accompaniment. Moist of the tunes however, are the hard-rocker variety, especially 'Hard Knocks' and 'There's A Brand New Day On The Horizon'. For a special gas, check out the lyrics on 'Little Egypt' and 'Poison Ivy League'. We've got great music, a great cover, the movie tie-in, advertising and promotion support.

Elvis Presley Video Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD

Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.

This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.

The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
