MUSIC FROM THE MGM MOTION PICTURE “JAILHOUSE ROCK”
Now available is the fourth release on the POPCORN label. This amazing double album is completely dedicated to the JAILHOUSE ROCK sessions. These sessions took place in April & May of 1957, at STUDIO B at the Radio Recorders Studio in Hollywood California. Some overdubs & scoring sessions took place at the MGM soundstage.
The sessions resulted in 6 master recordings beside some alternate movie versions. The movie premiered October 17th 1957 at the Loews Theatre In Memphis Tennessee. The title song ‘Jailhouse Rock’ was released on 45RPM (with ‘Treat Me Nice’ on side B) and topped the charts for 7 weeks. It reached the gold status but the R.I.A.A did not started their award program until 1958. According to the Billboard magazine the later released ‘Extended Play’ was the best selling EP of 1958.
Now you can enjoy highlights from these recording sessions on this deluxe double album. All of the takes are fully remastered and sound better then ever. The movie versions are speed corrected and are presented in their original mono sound.
This very limited high quality 180 grams vinyl editon is available in CLEAR & PURPLE vinyl.
All the tracks are also available on the 2 bonus cd’s (in cardboard sleeves) that are added to this package.
For the first time the two cd’s are also available seperate (in ultra limited quantity) in a deluxe digipack. This is a very limited edition double cd release!
