The ninth LP of Elvis Presley's career, it was issued by RCA Victor (LPM 2075) in November 1959. The record is a compilation of hit singles released between 1958 and 1959, belonging to two sessions in June of 1958 at RCA Studios in Nashville, and three at Radio Recorders in Hollywood. In the two years that Elvis had by then spent in the army, the world of Rock \u0026amp; Roll had changed dramatically. This album was meant as a pacifer for Elvis' fans in the two-year hiatus he would be unable to record any new songs, and it worked: after Elvis' return he was more popular than ever, which proved that all his fans had, indeed, been right all along. Also known as 'Gold Records Vol.2,' it comprised every single, both A-sides and Bsides, released by Presley during 1958 and 1959, apart from 'Hard Headed Woman' backed by 'Don't Ask Me Why,' both of which were previously issued on the King Creole LP (1958). All the singles made the Top Five on the Billboard Hot 100, and the B-sides all charted in the Top 40 independently of the hit sides. Another essential element that makes this album an iconic collector's item is the famous cover photo, consisting of multiple images of Elvis wearing the gold lame suit designed by Nudie's of Hollywood, a design that has been copied many times and inspired several artists, such as Phil Ochs, The Fall, Rod Stewart and Elvis Costello.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinyl Lovers","offers":[{"title":"LP.","offer_id":50393407455563,"sku":"2047579","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"96-tears-3","title":"96 Tears","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Modern Lovers were an American rock band led by Jonathan Richman in the 1970s and 1980s.  The original band, billed simply as “The Modern Lovers”, existed from 1970–74 but their recordings were not released until 1976 or later. It featured Jonathan Richman and bassist Ernie Brooks with drummer David Robinson (later of The Cars) and keyboardist Jerry Harrison (later of Talking Heads). The sound of the band owed a great deal to the influence of The Velvet Underground, and is now considered one of the leading bands of the “proto-punk” scene. It pointed the way towards much of the Punk, New Wave and Indie rock music of later decades. The 9 tracks found here (with the exception of \"A Plea For Tenderness\" recorded in 1973), were recorded live at Harvard University in the summer of 1971, while the band was still in its infant stages (having formed barely a year earlier in September 1970). Their first studio recording, a demo for Warner Bros, would not be made until that fall and their live Longbranch set wouldn’t be recorded until April of 1972. It is also one of the only existing recordings to feature second guitarist John Felice, Richmans childhood friend (and the first official member of the Modern Lovers), who left the band before the recording of their first album.
