CANADIAN
TRIBUTE (LP) Brief History : Elvis A Canadian Tribute was originally released in 1978 as a limited, numbered, gold vinyl edition as well as the standard black vinyl version. Although it is yet another Presley compilation album, this one has the unique twist of only featuring Elvis performing songs written by Canadian songwriters as well as hits from 1957, the year Elvis toured Canada. |

ELVIS,
A LEGENDARY PERFORMER, VOL 3 (LP) (US) RCA CPL 1 3082 Released: November 1978 Side 1 Hound Dog TV Guide Interview (Elvis and Colonel August 1956) Danny * Fame And Fortune (Take 2) Frankfort Special (Take 13 Fast Version) Britches ** Crying In The Chapel Side 2 Surrender Guadalajara (Take 2) It Hurts Me (From 1968 NBC TV Special) Let Yourself Go (From 1968 NBC TV Special) In The Ghetto Let It Be Me *** (Splice from two shows) * Recorded: Radio Recorders, Hollywood,
February 11, 1958 Brief History : Elvis: A Legendary Performer Volume 3 is a compilation album featuring recordings by American singer Elvis Presley. It was the third in a series of albums that began with Elvis: A Legendary Performer Volume 1 in 1974, the first to be released since Presley's death in 1977, and the last edition until Elvis: A Legendary Performer Volume 4 in 1983. As per the format of the series, the album was a mixture of previously released recordings mixed with tracks that, as of the date of this album's release, had never been issued on an official (RCA-sanctioned) album release. It was certified Gold on 12/18/1978 by the RIAA. Included in this instalment is "Danny", a previously unissued recording from 1958 of what was at one point to be the theme song for Presley's film King Creole (when the film still retained the title of the novel upon which it was based, A Stone for Danny Fisher). "Britches", a song recorded for but dropped from the music-lite western Flaming Star makes its debut, as do two production number recordings cut from the 1968 NBC Comeback Special - remakes of Presley movie songs "It Hurts Me" and "Let Yourself Go". A previously unreleased live performance from Las Vegas in 1970, two alternate takes from movie soundtracks, and an alternate take from Presley's first post-Army single from 1960 round out the set, along with an interview recording from 1956 and several previously released numbers. Two versions of this album were released: one in standard black vinyl, and one as a picture disc. This is the picture disc version. Front Cover : Die cut. Inner sleeve photo shows through
