April 20 - Record Store Day 2024

Today marks Record Store Day 2024, with two official 'Record Store Day' releases from the French V.P.I. record label: 'I'm Counting On Them' and 'Elvis Styles'.

Details 'I'm Counting On Them': This album brings together two singer-songwriters, both pianists, who made a remarkable contribution to the work and career of the King. 

While Otis Blackwell excelled in Rock 'n' Roll, of which he was one of the great craftsmen (providing Elvis with no less than three number 1 hits), Don Robertson, on the other hand, was a master in the art of the ballad (several of his compositions would appear on the B-sides of successful singles). Two exceptional artists who deserve a place in the Music Pantheon! 

The LP is available from the >>> V.P.I online store here.

Details 'Elvis Styles': In 1960, the renowned composer Leonard Bernstein said, "Elvis Presley is the greatest cultural force of the 20th century... He introduced rhythm into everything and changed it all, music, language, clothes. It's an entirely new social revolution from which the '60s emerged." 

And it's true that Elvis could sing anything! This triple album features no less than 54 tracks, the majority of which are alternate versions. A unique compilation, never before realized, that is truly exceptional, showcasing the various facets of the artist.

The LP is available from the >>> V.P.I online store here.

Both CDs are also available in CD editions.

Note: the LP's were already available a week before the "official" RSD release date.
