Greatest Hits Volume One
There has been a lot of
speculation regarding the CD edition of Elvis Greatest Hits Volume One on the
web for some time. Some have reported that it's a CD-R and some says that it
doesn't exist.
By ourselves we thought for a long time, that this CD is the "lost CD".
The propagated story about this release was very good... but, in fact, the CD is
an unofficial release.... it's only a great swindle!
The story has it that the CD edition of the 1977 version of Elvis Greatest
Hits Volume One was produced by RCA for a mail order company in the US back in
1986, but the company went broke before the CD's were delivered. Because of
that has the whole production been in a storehouse since !
The layout of the cover is the same as the original planned artwork from
1977. The record with that cover was never released.
In 1981, RCA released the album
with another cover and a small change in the tracklist !
