BMG UK Announces Multiple CD, DVD And Single Releases
Both the Single and Elvis At SUN will also be released on vinyl.
On 5th July, 1954 Elvis Presley recorded "That's All Right". It is the single event generally considered to be the birth of rock 'n' roll. As the defining moment in popular music's history, the importance of this single cannot be overstated - yet interestingly, things moved at such a pace at Sun that That's All Right was only ever released as a single in the US and has never actually been released in the UK as a single before - until now. On its golden anniversary, That's All Right is released as a 3-track CD b/w the original B-side, Blue Moon of Kentucky plus an alternate take of That's All Right from a subsequent Sun session. The single will also be released in Australia and the USA.
Kings Of Rock N' Roll celebrates the original Sun recording sessions by Elvis, which many consider to be the original birthplace of rock'n'roll, and also coincides with Presley's first Sun Recording of the single "That's All Right", plus songs from other quintessential rock'n'roll pioneers that include Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Cliff Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis. Featuring over 28 tracks, this album encapsulates what the music buying public was listening to during the mid to late 1950's.
Stylish, hip, and ultra cool, the collection of milestone rock'n'roll songs accurately captures the fever, adulation and pure hysteria surrounding the 'Kings Of Rock N' Roll' at the height of their fame. Now's your chance to get an exclusive backstage view as rock's greatest performers perform their magic, only to reaffirm their contribution to rock as the stuff legends are of.
Kings Of Rock N' Roll will be the definitive collection of the stars that mattered. Six of the seven artists featured on the album are listed in the 'Guinness Book of Hit Singles Top 500 Acts of All Time' with Elvis and Cliff being numbers 1 and 2 respectively.
What's more, Cliff Richard has personally selected his best rock 'n' roll songs for inclusion on the album. Kings of Rock N' Roll features nineteen Top 20 hits, including six No.1 hit singles.
The album embodies the original roots of 1950's rock'n'roll music that revolutionised the music of youth culture and society. Without Elvis and Check Berry, there would be no Beatles or the Rollling Stones.

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.
