Forbes wrote: "Being dead isn’t the gig it used to be. The 13 deceased musicians, authors and other A-listers on Forbes’ annual ranking of the highest-paid dead celebrities earned some $470 million during the past 12 months—a 70% decrease from the record-breaking $1.6 billion grossed in 2022."
And on Elvis the on-line magazine wrote: "Though Elvis left the building nearly 50 years ago, it’s still good to be the King. Graceland, Presley’s home in Memphis, Tennessee, saw some 600,000 visitors in the last 12 months and the estate has multiple sources of income, including tickets and merchandise.
After the January death of Elvis’ only daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, from cardiac arrest, his ex-wife, Priscilla, and granddaughter Riley Keough entered into a contentious legal battle for control of the two estates. Keough, a 34-year-old actress who stars in Daisy Jones and the Six, ended up as the sole trustee of both."

Publicity stated: The story of Elvis Presley’s ‘discovery’ has passed into showbiz legend and his recordings at SUN Studios have gone down in history. Between 1953 and 1954 'That’s When Your Heartaches Begin', 'That’s All Right', 'Blue Moon Of Kentucky' and 'Milkcow Blues Boogie' were cut.
By chance, two covers stood out; Arthur Crudup’s 'That’s All Right' and Bill Monroe’s 'Blue Moon Of Kentucky' which were adapted into high-energy mixes of Blues, Country and Rockabilly. The reactions in the Memphis area was enthusiastic and the Band continued to perform their weekly slot on the Louisiana Hayride Radio Show and bonus tracks from the Hayride Radio Show have been included on this LP.
Side 1: That’s All Right / Good Rockin’ Tonight / Milkcow Blues Boogie / I’m Left, You’re Right, She’s Gone / Mystery Train / I Love You Because / Just Because.
Side 2: Blue Moon Of Kentucky / I Don’t Care If The Sun Don’t Shine / You’re A Heartbreaker / Baby, Let’s Play House / I Forgot To Remember To Forget / That’s When Your Heartaches Begin / The Truth About Me (Teen Parade Interview).
