WHAT THE D.J. NEWS INSERT HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE MEGAMIX ON THIS RELEASE:
RCA is commemorating the untimely death three years ago of Elvis Presley with a special 8 record collector's set. Even an 80 record set wouldn't do justice to how Elvis changed and helped shape music throughout the world from the 1950s through-the 1970s and even to the 1980s. He was the King! And now Elvis lives for your dance floor, as well, thanks to Bill Motley. Bill co-produced the Supremes Medley as well as The Bitchin' 50s Medley heard on earlier Disconet programs. He's back with his finest work to date, which includes "Good Luck Charm", "It's Now Or Never", "Return To Sender", "All Shook Up", "Jailhouse Rock", "Don't Be Cruel", "Teddy Bear", "Hound Dog" and "Blue Suede Shoes". The bass and drums which Bill has added keep flow and continuity without interferring with the original Elvis tracks, and there are even 14 intro clunks if you want to overlay into the first song.
SIDE D MIX: LATINWAVE MEDLEY
