November 17, 200717 yr Thanks for posting this, Malcolm Got to admit that I quite like this remix. Obviously the original is the best, and although I don't think this is on a par with A Little Less Conversation, it's not a bad effort at all B) Guess time will tell if it'll be a success. Here's some more info about the remix The classic "Baby Let's Play House" has been remixed and will be released in Europe as a single on December 10, 2007. The mix is already available on iTunes, and will be released on CDvinyl, a special compact disc playable in a normal CD player but also by a traditional 33rpm turntable. The packaging of this original Elvis Presley CDvinyl, will also be very special and will resemble that of a 12" vinyl. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/elvis1959/cd_babyletsplayhouse2007.jpg Track listing: Baby Let's Play House - Radio Edit Baby Let's Play House - Extended Version Baby Let's Play House - Original Version Baby Let's Play House - Ringtone Baby Let's Play House - Video Clip The press release: November 16th, 2007 press release HISTORIC REMIX OF ELVIS PRESLEY'S BABY LET'S PLAY HOUSE HAS EVERYONE TALKING NEW REMIXED PRESLEY SONG BY A CONTEMPORARY DJ/ARTIST IS RELEASED: SPANKOX (OF CLUB ANTHEM TO THE CLUB FAME) BRINGS ELVIS' VOICE BACK TO RADIOS AND CLUBS WORLDWIDE FOR THE THIRD TIME AFTER CHART-TOPPERS A LITTLE LESS CONVERSATION AND RUBBERNECKIN' Recognized worldwide as one of the most influential figures in music and pop culture, Elvis Presley is today on the verge of another career milestone, exactly 30 years after his death.

November 18, 200717 yr Think there's been a few copyright issues with this remix as it's been pulled from YouTube a couple of times ;) With the 50 year copyright business, there shouldn't be any problems with the UK, but not sure about the US as this isn't an official release :unsure:

January 13, 200817 yr CD that can be played on a turntable. A vinyl record that can be played by a standard CD player. It seems science fiction, instead it’s a true story. The first international release on VinylDISC is the new remix of Elvis Presley's Baby Let’s Play House by contemporary DJ/producer Spankox. The VinylDISC combines a CD on one side with vinyl - yes, beautiful black vinyl - on the other. The concept behind VinylDisc is valid, that there are people out there who want to hear their music in pristine digital sound, yet are still drawn to the eclectic analog nature of vinyl, yet want it all on one disc. Elvis' 'Baby Let’s Play House' (Spankox Re:version) is the first international release on VinylDISC. The record includes a radio version, an extended version and the original remastered Elvis Presley song. Also, as bonus, the ringtone version. The radio edit on the 33 rpm vinyl side has been cut with a special and sophisticated 'vintage' process to obtain the sound of the records produced in the 50s. So this is indeed a charming collectable item. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/elvis1959/cd_vinyl.jpg Spankox (his real name is Agostino Carollo) is a Verona (Italy) based progressive DJ/producer/composer who most recently wrote and produced the club classic 'To The Club' and has produced and remixed tracks for Roxette, Snap! and Vasco Rossi (Italy’s n.1 rockstar) among the others.

The Spankox Re:Version of Baby Let’s Play House will deliver Elvis to a new generation of music fans in an unexpected, cool and compelling way.
