Elvis Presley Jailhouse Rock - Elvis Presley

We had more fun making this film than I could have believed possible, said Elvis Presley of his third movie, Jailhouse Rock, when it was released in October 1957. Since the movie featured only five tracks, the decision was made to include them all on a soundtrack EP, rather than pad them out with additional material to make an LP, and that was what happened in both the USA and England. However, in South Africa in 1958 they opted to release an LP-length version, which is now the LP that you hold in your hands. This contains the entire Jailhouse Rock EP plus seven other tracks all of which maintain a very high standard.
