i dont think anyone here is realy dismissing Elvis's credentials
as an all time great interpretive singer..

but his cultural value has been sadly undermined by incessant repackaging and profiteering
and extreme ridiculous fan deification..

but anyway..

GUEST,Tunesmith mate.. seriously..

please do recomend a few choice latter day Elvis CD's
that are consistently good to listen to
and worth considering buyng..



but as this is Eddies birthday thread..

its gotta be said that although new compilations of duff demo songs
and limp filler tracks are still emerging..

at least a decent 20 best of CD rarely includes tracks
that are so bad they make you wince and regret spending the £££$$ on it..


same with Buddy..


..and as for Chuck Berry's 'ding a ling'..
