It is indeed, but I do so love the later band, a dream come true would be to have them back me for just one minute.
Incidently, "One Night With You", is under two minutes in length.
Most of my 78`s snapped under the weight of the others.
There were no Elvis ones, but some interesting classical early form of the "box sets". For exmaple, Beethoven accross 5 X 78 records, in a lovely box.
Anybody who has not heard my "King of Rock N Roll", cand click here

When I used to sell second-hand records we'd get the occasional punter who with glee would tell us they had an Elvis 78... always the same reply - pity you don't have the 45 it's actually worth something. 
Elvis before the army is probably his most interesting period. |

The first Elvis record we had in our house (when I were a lad) was 'Just Can't Help Believing'. I also liked 'In The Ghetto' and 'My Boy'. One of my very favourite Elvis tracks is 'It's Midnight', which was on the flip side of 'Promised Land'.
There's a boy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis .... It's the truth! It's actual! He was named after The King of Rock n Roll. (Better than another boy his age who's Man Utd crazy father named him Trafford!!). |

Indeed and often discussed ITK.
Why did they put so much material out that was blatantly demoes?
Not only that, but it came out at a budget price at the time.
Ok, maybe I can answer that myself given the benefit hindsight,and with a question, did Elvis get a bigger profile by the cheaper albums coming out?
There are some absolutely brilliant Elvis albums and some one play only albums.This is a shame.
We love you E, we just didn`t like you singing "certain songs".
That`s a list that I will not start! |

Interesting fact about Elvis is that he had an incredible output - but how much is actually worth anything (musically)? 1% maybe?
Had he continued recording would that now be 0.01%? |
