Elvis Presley's 'Return To Sender' has this week entered the UK singles chart at #5. The previous single, 'She's Not You' dropped to #36.

From April 10 the UK chart will include songs purchased by download which will probably prevent artists such as Elvis Presley again reaching the top of the UK chart.

James Gillespie of the UK Official Chart Company (OCC), which compiles the chart, said: "Including internet downloads in the singles chart is something we have been planning for some time now, but the preparation is a big job". They had hoped to have digital downloads included from March 20 but due to concerns over the lack of representation of independent releases at major download outlets the move was has delayed.

Downloads overtook physical singles sales in December for the first time, with 312,000 tracks bought online compared to 282,000 over the counter. Figures from last week show the market has grown even further with 353,000 online singles sales.

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.
