September 23, 201014 yr Author SONY are obviously really worried about bootlegging of the 'Viva Elvis' Album. This is why it is very difficult to get exact details regarding the track listings. It is now coming to light that several countries are going to get a different 'duet' with an artist from that country. The latest is for French singer Amel BENT to duet on 'Love Me Tender' and Spanish singer Lourdes HERNANDEZ (aka Russian Red) to also duet on the same song on the Spanish version. If you remember, this is what happened on the 'Christmas Duets' album last year. I believe this policy stems from the fact that in each country SONY have their own 'profit centres' and can, to some degree, alter the track listings. By doing this it is imposssible for bootleggers to create one worldwide album as each country varies. The singers chosen to duet are usually new SONY artists who have won on programmes like the 'X' Factor. This makes sense for SONY as it gets their new artists exposure. There will be no duet on the UK version and the tracklisting remains at 10. I will try to get more information on these issues next week. Brian Edited September 23, 201014 yr by Brian Quinn

September 24, 201014 yr Author Latest on the Worldwide release of the 'Viva Elvis' Album. Apparently the Belgian version has 13 tracks including 'That's All Right Mama'; 'Burning Love'; and 'Love Me Tender' Duet with Belgian singer Dani KLEIN from the group Vaya Con Dios. This is in addition to the 'Love Me Tender' remix. Brian :)
September 25, 201014 yr Author I have had an e-mail from SONY(UK) to assure me that there will be 12 tracks on the UK version of 'Viva Elvis'. Some countries will have thirteen due to local duets with Elvis on 'Love Me Tender' but NOT the UK. They state that it is a fantastic album and will be a big record when compared to any artist. Full tracklisting is as follows: 1. Opening 2. Blue Suede Shoes 3. That's All Right 4. Heartbreak Hotel 5. Love Me Tender 6. King Creole 7. Bossa Nova Baby 8. Burning Love 9. Memories [interlude] 10. Can't Help Falling In Love 11. You'll Never Walk Alone [piano interlude] 12. Suspicious Minds Brian Edited September 25, 201014 yr by Brian Quinn

October 5, 201014 yr Author Elvis and Lisa Lois duet on 'Love Me Tender' from the Dutch version of the 'Viva Elvis' album. The song starts at 2:50: http://www.alissia.nl/Lisa%20Lois%20in%20d...et%20Elvis..mp3 Pleasant arrangement. Brian
October 6, 201014 yr Author I have just heard that there will be 2 CD formats of 'Viva Elvis'. These will be as follows: Format 1 - Single CD as already announced and Format 2 (Double CD) - CD1 - Tracks as already announced. CD2 - The original versions of the tracks. I believe the 2 CD version to be about £1.25 more than the single version. Brian Edited October 6, 201014 yr by Brian Quinn
October 6, 201014 yr That sounds interesting and, for just an extra £1.25, I will certainly opt for the 2CD version.
