The new double CD set Elvis Presley: 50 Australian Top Ten Hits 1956-1977 is the first ever compilation of Elvis Presley's Australian hits. 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 chart. While disc one includes many of the familiar hits, disc two features not only the well known hit songs, but also many that are unique to Australia. The set contains informative liner notes written by chart historian Gavin Ryan with input from Wayne Hawthorne and David Troedson. The 18 page booklet also contains images of original RCA single releases, and CD label art inspired by his first album release in Australia, Elvis Presley LPM-1254.
While not done yet, we can tell you the album will be re-promoted approaching and during August and in the run up to Christmas - so we look forward to Gold and Platinum awards during this year - so a big year ahead for this release, and Elvis as you will have noted. This is only the second Elvis CD to be released in Australia since 1977 to coincide with Elvis' birthday, the other being 'The Essential Elvis Presley' in 2007, 'Love, Elvis' was re-re-released in January 2005, all others since 1977 have been targeted at August. A tough time of year for sales. So a bold move by Sony Music to release this major title in January to kick start the year of celebrations, but this trailblazer will get its share of the August 2010 publicity.

Review : Elvis Country FTD Special Edition 2 CD Set
* 48 Hours To Memphis is actually not stereo but it has been mixed from a two track tape and very high quality 'hi-fi' and not only is it not a soundboard it compares perfectly with normal stereo releases.
Video Preview: Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD. Digipack with a 16 page booklet. Never before have we seen an Elvis concert from the 50'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. 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.
