February 19 - Rave Review

Fifty years since its release, Rolling Stone magazine is raving over the upcoming re-release "Elvis Is Back: Legacy Edition." The magazine gives the album a whopping 4.5 stars, saying... "it might be the the king's greatest noncompilation LP: wildy varied material, revelatory singing, impeccable stereo sound.. . ." 



Elvis Presley began recording "Elvis Is Back!" in Nashville on March 20th, 1960 after returning from his two-year stint in the military. A half-century later, "Elvis Is Back" is now coupled with 1961’s "Something For Everybody."

Along with one dozen hit single sides recorded and charted over roughly the same period of time, the deluxe "Elvis Is Back: Legacy Edition" will be available at all physical and digital retail outlets starting March 8, 2011.
