Description 'Jailhouse Rock': 66 years ago the classic movie 'Jailhouse Rock', directed by Richard Thorpe, was released. The movie premiered on October 17, 1957 in Memphis and opened nationwide on November 8, 1957.
The film's soundtrack, written by the duo Mike Stoller and Jerry Leiber, has become iconic thanks to the famous prison scene, considered "Elvis Presley's greatest moment on screen".
The film's soundtrack includes memorable songs like 'Can't Help Falling in Love' and 'Blue Hawaii', which helped popularize Hawaiian music around the world. This catchy, sunny soundtrack perfectly captures the tropical atmosphere of the film and remains a timeless favorite among Elvis fans and lovers of 60s music.
To celebrate these cinematographic and recording monuments, we present two Exclusive Limited Edition Shaped Picture Discs of the soundtrack albums.
