SUN 78s Replaced

Apparently all of the pressings of the recent vinyl SUN re-issue of the "Good Rockin' Tonight" the labels of the A and B side have been swopped meaning the "Good Rockin Tonight" side plays "I Don’t Care if the Sun Don’t Shine" and that side in turn plays "Good Rockin Tonight". 

The good news is that all replacements of the single black and clear will be sent to dealers next week as replacements. There will be no need to return any records so fans can keep the miss-pressed records and get still get their replacements.

Hit Inspires Book

One of Elvis Presley's biggest hits is the latest song to be turned into a picture book, and part of an effort to introduce the King to a new generation.
Dial Books for Young Readers told The Associated Press on Wednesday that a book based on "Love Me Tender" is coming out Nov. 13. "Elvis Presley's Love Me Tender" will be illustrated by Stephanie Graegin and include an endnote by Presley's widow, Priscilla Presley.
Dial Books is calling the new release "a heartwarming ode" to the parent-child bond. Presley died 40 years ago this summer, and representatives for his estate are planning a merchandise program for infants and toddlers.

Other songs inspiring children's books in recent years include "This Land is Your Land," ''Imagine" and "Blowin' in the Wind."
