EP Elvis Canta from Spain (1964)

Tracks: What'd I say - Viva Las Vegas b/w Kiss me quick - Suspicion. These tracks have a different mix by missing some instruments or backing vocals. One stereo channel seemed to be closed like the German LP Elvis Forever vol. 2 (first release) in the past.

Just to clarify, the real “Elvis canta” (Elvis sings) has a curious story. In spite of everything, Elvis discography in Spain was quite prolific, and they were (obviously) following the releases in USA. So when Elvis sails was released, RCA Spain knew it was useless in Spain. First, because close to noone knew English. Second, a spoken record was seen as a nonsense, until comedy records (with jokes) started being released some years later (around 1966).

So RCA Spain grabbed when my blue moon, paralyzed long tall sally and first in line and put them on the same sleeve and changed sails to sing (canta).

Strangely it had some success (not the kind he will have from 62 to 65). My dad told me he bought it immediately when it was released in 1959. (Must be true because it needed a repress the same year in 1959.

That other EP is not Elvis canta as part or the full title but Elvis Presley “canta” used as for instance on the fool USA album it says Elvis “including”.

(Just a curious thing, rca Spain never waited for movie theaters to release an Elvis movie for releasing the accompanying soundtrack, they usually released soundtracks much earlier. For example, my dad bought blue Hawaii in 1961 and the movie premiered 3 years later.

I'm currently missing 2 original releases. 2 I fully understand I will never own. One popped up yesterday on eBay. Golden records VOl 4 LPM, very nice copy. 5 days still left and it's already way outta my reach.
Still hoping to walk into a yard sale one day and find this along with the Speedway LPM, only in my dreams.

LP Greatest hits volume 1 AHL-1 2347

The LP should be released in may 1977 but the release of LP Moody blue was preferred.
Elvis didn't record much and RCA keep Elvis to the contract to release new material.

On the original release side 1 In the ghetto was planned after Surrender and side 2 Surrender was planned after the Sound of your cry.
These changes were the reason to make a new cover art when the LP wa finally released in ovember 1981.

In april 1987 the CD release from this LP was announced but for unknown reasons it was cancelled.(catalogue number 2347-2-R). The first release on CD was late 1989 by BMG-Australia.

Just picked this up - sounds excellent and preferable to the Indianapolis Tan label press IMO

Just played this again tonight - so nice to hear the drums cracking on Stranger In My Own Home Town.

However, i think that I prefer You’ll Think of me on the Indianapolis - fuller midrange but still retains that crisp fresh sound

Flexi disc from Japan; I have no idea what is included.

Easy come easy go - SCP 1321 - EP from Japan (1967).

It looks the tracks on this EP were released in stereo.
As far known at the time these these tracks were released in stereo only on an album in New-Zealand.

Afterwards was known these tracks were released too in poor stereo on LP Elvis by request volume 2 in Brazil.

Tracks were released in mono in other countries.
