May 16 - Jailhouse Rock

The warden threw a party in the county jail, and you’re all invited! The Danish Memphis Mansion record label released the LP 'Jailhouse Rock'. 

You can listen to a preview and interview with Anthony Stuchbury on Matt Shepherd's >>> Golden Years radio show.



Publicity stated: Based on the original South African release, the only place in the world that released a 'Jailhouse Rock' long playing 33 RPM album in 1958, this new Memphis Mansion LP pays tribute to that classic album. 

This 2025 edition comes on red colored vinyl (300 copies) and 
transparent pink marble colored vinyl (100 copies), housed in a gatefold sleeve, and features newly created Stereo Mixes by Anthony Stuchbury of the original tracks and several bonus tracks, including the Stereo debut of the movie version of ‘Treat Me Nice’. This LP is limited to 300 copies worldwide. The label also has a small number of "test pressings" available for fans, on black, on transparent pink marble and translucent yellow colored vinyl. 

Tracks side A: Jailhouse Rock / Young and Beautiful / I Want To Be Free / Baby I Don't Care / Don't Leave Me Now / Treat Me Nice.

Side B: I Beg of You / Don't / Playing For Keeps / Shake, Rattle and Roll / Good Rockin' Tonight / I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine / Treat Me Nice (Bonus Movie Stereo Version).

The album is available soon from the >>> Memphis Mansion webshop. For the test-pressings you can contact producer Henrik Knudsen by >>> mail

Anthony Stuchbury posted on Facebook: "
Throughout Elvis’ career you’d see Colonel Parker using phrases like ‘By Request’ and ‘By Popular Demand!’ 

With that it mind I’m going to explain that I’ve recently completed a couple of projects that I had no intention of moving forward with, until now.
People have asked, people have pestered, so there is clearly a demand for them. 
So, now, by request and by popular demand, here is the first of them."
