In addition to this on Channel 9's 'Mornings' with Kerri-Anne the group, 'The Justice Crew' who had the number 1 single in Australia during the same week [They often include an Elvis number in their concerts] volunteered their services to help promote the album. They performed a dance rountine to a selection of remixed Elvis songs, their performance no doubt appealing to the 'younger generation'. But importantly the album was shown full screen before their performance and talked about. So again more great promotion.
Review : No matter where you listen, Elvis By Request captivates
The major newspapers, The 'Sydney Morning Herald', 'The Daily Telegraph', [Sydney] 'The Herald Sun' [Melbourne], www.news.com.au all covered the event, as did TV's 'Sky News' and others.
The advertising dollar value in all of this event is immeasurable!!!! A huge success.
And since orders from major retails have all been increased, everyone is asking for this CD.
Some will find aspects not to their liking, as we do, however i must tell you, knowing the plan, Elvis Australia was on board encouraging Sony from day one, from the moment we were told of the concept, because we could see the ingenuity of it, and the publicity it would generate. I can tell you first hand it is not easy getting the media to cover an Elvis CD release these days with my efforts to [successfully] have newspapers review and/or make mention of the Elvis Presley : 50 Australia Top Ten Hits 1956-1977 release in January 2010.
Now Sony have surpassed that by an unprecedented margin, with the 'Sunrise' morning show being a very high rating program. As fans we all love to see Elvis riding high on the charts, and we should see this in the weeks ahead. To re-ignite sales leading into the Christmas period Sony have organized, controversially to many, a tour of Australia east cost by an Elvis impersonator in November. From Sony's perspective, they are selling tickets, they will sell, and Sony will make a profit, all the while promoting in the media, Elvis By Request Concerts, the idea is fans in the audience can ask for anyone of 30 of the 40 songs to be sung, BY REQUEST, everyone can make their own judgment here but the aim is to get the album back up in the charts leading into Christmas, and those important ant potentially huge sales. Just the fact an album is in the charts is publicity, so it is win-win. Again, the advertising dollar value in all of this will be immeasurable!!!!
Feedback
I wish sony UK had done something like they did in australia. We had no coverage of the new release what so ever and I didn't see anything about his 35th anniversary on tv personally. Well done. Our CD or should I say the us CD is crap next to yours. All the best. Mark.
In video, listen for, 'we don't want any Elvis' to leave the bridge' at the end!!!
In the second video we have a performance by the group, 'The Justice Crew' on Channel 9's 'Mornings' with Kerri-Anne. The group had the number 1 single in Australia during the same week and they often include an Elvis number in their concerts. They volunteered their services to help promote the album, their performance no doubt appealing to the 'younger generation' : their fans, exposing Elvis to this market.
The third video is the Sony TV Commercial.
Did Sony get this right :

Elvis By Request : The Australian Edition CD
In June 2012 and over 3 weeks over 5000 Australian fans logged onto www.elvisbyrequest.com.au and voted for their favourite Elvis Presley songs. The votes have been tallied, the CDs manufactured and fans will be able to pick up their copy of Elvis By Request from Thursday, 16th August.
The confirmed tracklisting of the Top 40 most popular Elvis songs according to his Aussie fans is as follows:
An American Trilogy is the #1 most voted Elvis song by Australian fans.
Released in 1972, Elvis performed it regularly in his live concert tours and was included in the 1972 documentary Elvis On Tour and the internationally broadcast concert Elvis : Aloha From Hawaii. Whilst it was never a hit at the time of release it seems clear time has made it a favourite amongst fans. Elvis By Request is released on the 35th anniversary of Elvis' passing and is a fitting tribute by fans to The King of Rock 'N' Roll.

The Complete Louisiana Hayride Archives 1954-1956 CD From MRS : CD / 100 page book
The MRS / JAT Productions release of The Complete Louisiana Hayride Archives 1954-1956 CD is a dream come true but I can't as there was no anticipation something like this would ever be released. For years now we have had the basic el cheapo compilation of the basic tracks but now we have a full CD with a running time of over 75 minutes that gives a very good overview of Elvis in concert in the 1950s. This CD is presented exactly the same as the MRS releases Off Duty With Private Presley Book Deluxe CD set, Tupelo Welcomes Home Elvis Presley Deluxe CD set and Such A Night in Pearl Harbor CD and 100 page Book set.

Video Preview: Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD + 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.
