Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)On May 26, 1963, Elvis went into RCA's Studio B in Nashville to record a new non-soundtrack album. It was supposed to be his first one since POT LUCK, the previous summer. Unfortunately, his manager, thinking that soundtrack albums sold better than original albums, kept the album on the shelf and decided to use each song from the session as fillers for soundtracks or B-sides.
In 1990, RCA decided to release the songs from this session on an album which is known now as THE LOST ALBUM.
Below, I give you the information what the Colonel decided to do with each song:
-LONG LONELY HIGHWAY: bonus song on KISSIN' COUSINS soundtrack album (April 1964). Take 1 of this song was incidentally released by RCA on the B-side of the single I'M YOURS (August 1965).
-WESTERN UNION: bonus song on SPEEDWAY soundtrack album (May 1968)
-WITCHCRAFT: B-side of BOSSA NOVA BABY single (October 1963). N?32 on the Billboard.
-LOVE ME TONIGHT: bonus song on FUN IN ACAPULCO soundtrack album (11/1963)
-WHAT NOW WHAT NEXT WHERE TO: bonus song DOUBLE TROUBLE soundtrack album (06/1967)
-PLEASE DON'T DRAG THAT STRING AROUND: B-side to DEVIL IN DISGUISE single (06/1963)
-BLUE RIVER: bonus song on DOUBLE TROUBLE soundtrack album (06/1967)
-NEVER ENDING: same as above
-DEVIL IN DISGUISE: A-side single (06/1963), N?3 in U.S., N?1 in U.K.
-FINDERS KEEPERS: filler on ELVIS FOR EVERYONE album (08/1965)
-ECHOES OF LOVE: bonus song on KISSIN' COUSINS soundtrack album (04/1964)
-SLOWLY BUT SURELY: bonus song on FUN IN ACAPULCO soundtrack album (11/1963)
The last 3 songs on the CD were recorded on January 1964 in Nashville and were supposed to complete the untitled album recorded the previous year:
-IT HURTS ME: B-side to KISSIN' COUSINS single (02/1964), N?29 in Billboard
-MEMPHIS TENNESSEE: included on the ELVIS FOR EVERYONE album (08/1965)
-ASK ME: A-side single (09/1964), N?12 in Billboard
At last, this album is (or rather was) available.
