Elvis Presley's current run of weekly appearances in the top ten on the UK singles sales charts wraps up with A Little Less Conversation (JXL Remix) hitting #3. This is the result of a special promotion by BMG-UK releasing each week special reissues of Elvis singles that hit #1 in the UK the first time around. A tally of the UK singles chart results follows and therefore a list of all of Elvis #1 hits in the UK ...

All Shook Up (*)
Jailhouse Rock (#1)
One Night (#1)
A Fool Such As I (#2)
It's Now Or Never (#1)
Are You Lonesome Tonight (#2)
Wooden Heart (#2)
Surrender (#2)
His Latest Flame (#3)
Rock-A-Hula Baby (#3)
Good Luck Charm (#2)
She's Not You (#3)
Return To Sender (#5)
Devil In Disguise (#2)
Crying In The Chapel (#2)
The Wonder Of You (#4)
Way Down (#2)
A Little Less Conversation (#3)

The first single All Shook Up wasn't eligible to chart due to the addition of the collectors box.

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.
