If you were in charge of BMG and was allowed to release one Elvis CD, what would it be?
I believe BMG is making the same mistake for decades (as RCA did decades before that): assuming that what was once picked as a single (and became a hit), should be now included on each and every compilation. When you look at the Elvisfans who became fans after his death, you see that not (for example) Blue Suede Shoes is their alltime hit, but (for example) Promised Land.
It should be a one-disc release. What's your idea?

oh geez! tough question Albert! I am a fan of his late 60's/early 70's hits.....although I do like his 50's stuff of course because that is what made him Elvis. I know what you mean about them putting same songs on every cd - I don't know what I'd do honestly. Interesting to see the answers - I'm sure Jak and Getlo have some great ideas and I'm anxiously awaiting their answers!
I think "Wearin that Looked on Look" is a great overlooked Elvis song which had hit potential IMO It has a true raw feeling & power in it. Also in the same vein would be "Only the Strong Survie" Great great songs.
Well, if I had a chance to do a cd of Elvis songs, it'd be a remix cd.
That's what the kids want.
At least my age group do.
There are a lot of underrated songs I'd like to see on one CD:
Woman Without Love
Shake A Hand
Only The Strong Survive
Long Black Limousine
Raised on Rock
Wearin' That Loved On Look
Hey Jude
Clean Up Your Own Backyard
Down In The Alley
Bringin' It Back
The Fair's Moving On
I, John
It's A Matter of Time
I'll Be There
Love Coming Down
Please Don't Stop Loving Me
Any Day Now
Rags To Riches
Never Ending
This Is Our Dance
What Now, What Next, Where To
When I'm Over You
When It Rains It Really Pours
Wolf Call
Your Love's Been A Long Time Comin'
I'd need TWO CDs because there are a few more I can't think of.right now

I'm always gettin blasted for the way I type for not addin a 'S' on some words.
All iw as sayin is I can't undertsnad what he was sayin.
I think we are over due for a true Blues CD. Let the fans vote to pick the songs. It should be promoted with the next big TV thing,,,,hopefully an anthlogy. Could be a pretty big hit. Bigger than "Elvis By the Presleys" at least.
It's Ok , I'm not good With words, You don't Know me to know that I had Stroke At Brith .
Tom
