Elvis Presley – Jailhouse Rock LP

Elvis Presley – Jailhouse Rock

INCLUDES 4 BONUS TRACKS

This quintessential release presents the rare and long out of print South African edition of the Jailhouse Rock LP (1958), which marked the album’s lone appearance on the 12-inch format. Five of the six songs performed by Elvis in the movie Jailhouse Rock were originally issued in 1957 on the eponymous 7-inch EP released worldwide. Although the sixth song from Bthe soundtrack, “Treat Me Nice”, was not included on the 7-inch EP, it did appear on the 12-inch LP (and therefore, it is also present on this release), which also contained well-known and previously released Elvis numbers from that period that were not part of the film. The Jailhouse Rock LP has been remastered for this collector’s edition, which also includes 4 bonus tracks from the same period.
