Posted April 3, 200718 yr 18 Singles And A Singles Box Set Following the same plan as the “Elvis 18 UK #1s†campaign from 2005, which resulted in sales of over 750,000 units, Sony/BMG will release a new set of 18 singles, this time classic singles which were not part of the first campaign. The campaign will run from August to December, followed by a complete box set also released in December. The 18 singles will be released over a period of 17 weeks, on CD, 10 vinyl, and digital download, with a collector’s edition numbered box at the beginning of the campaign, and a complete box (not numbered and slimmed down) in December 2007. Source: Elvis Matters / Updated: Apr 2, 2007 Still unconfirmed as to whether they mean the UK or not. Hoping for more news about which singles are involved, but if it is the UK, looks like we're going to have a re-run of the last campaign ;) Be great to get Elvis to #1 a few more times
May 20, 200718 yr Author Brian Quinn has posted this on the 18s B) The tracks for the new Campaign commencing 13th August, 2007 are: Heartbreak Hotel; Suspicious Minds; Blue Suede Shoes; Hound Dog; Teddy Bear; Don't; Party; Hard Headed Woman; King Creole; A Big Hunk O' Love; A Mess Of Blues; His Latest Flame; Viva Las Vegas; In The Ghetto; You Don't Have To Say You Love Me; Always On My Mind; An American Trilogy and Burning Love. I urge all fans to get behind this Campaign so that Elvis can get another couple of No.1's. Hopefully, this time around, we will not have a Charity Single to compete with e.g. Tony Christie/Peter Kay's 'Is This The Way To Amarillo' which I am sure cost Elvis several No.1's. Are we ready to do it all again :yahoo:
May 21, 200718 yr Author Talking about the last 18s campaign, I noticed this on eBay today :o Wonder if there'll be any takers :lol: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ELVIS-PRESLEY-18-UK-...1QQcmdZViewItem
May 21, 200718 yr apart from the collectors angle, i'm not sure why they are doing this. surely any die hard fan will already own all them, or am i missing something. Will this not give the Elvis detractors more ammunition to complain about him.
May 21, 200718 yr Author I'd be very surprised if he gets any bids at all, Brian. It's a crazy amount he's after. I queued up and bought all the singles, despite all the hassle we had in getting them, and you know what? I played them all :dance: I didn't look on it as an investment, just a lovely collection to own and a way to get Elvis back in the limelight........oh and to get a few more #1s :yahoo:

June 5, 200718 yr Author This was posted on ElvisNews.com but I'm a bit confused as (Marie's The Name Of) His Latest Flame was included in the last 18s Singles box :unsure: UK Singles Box http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/elvis1959/cd_box_singles_2007.jpg Here is the upcoming U.K. Singles box set, the follow up to the succesful U.K. #1 Hits box set. Commencing August 13, 2007 Sony-BMG will start a weekly string of single releases. This set contains classic singles that did not make it to #1 in the U.K. The first single, "Heartbreak Hotel" comes with a collector's box and is thereby not eligible to chart. The release schedule: 1. Heartbreak Hotel 2. Suspicous Minds 3. Blue Suede Shoes 4 Hound Dog 5. (Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear 6. Party 7. Don't 8. Hard Headed Woman 9. King Creole 10. A Big Hunk Of Love 11. A Mess Of Blues 12. (Marie's The Name) His Latest Flame 13. Viva Las Vegas 14. In The Ghetto 15. You Don't Have To Say You Love Me 16. Always On My Mind 17.

June 23, 200718 yr Suspicious Minds was last in the chart in April 2001. It was a live version that peaked at No.15.
June 30, 200718 yr Author Suspicious Minds was last in the chart in April 2001. It was a live version that peaked at No.15. It would be fantastic to get Elvis back to #1 with Suspicious Minds the week of the 30th anniversary of his death You can preorder the singles fron the HMV website now - good news for those of us who will be away when the're first released :dance: http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/simpleSearch.d...ubmitSearch.y=9

July 21, 200717 yr That is a great logo I was reading about these new releases in my local paper yesterday. I think I will get Heartbreak Hotel as a momento. :wub: Reading that tracklist brought back some lovely memories, I love so many of them. Edited July 21, 200717 yr by Susie
July 28, 200717 yr How do peeps think Elvis will do with the re-issues? No.1, top 10's or top 30? With chart sales very low at the moment he could do quite well! Edited July 28, 200717 yr by highlander69
