An innovative experiment November 20, 2007
This is a re-issue of Elvis' 1958 single. The songs are from the movie soundtrack of the same name. King Creole and its flip-side Dixieland Rock were innovative attempts to meld the then new sound of Rock and Roll with old southern Dixieland music. While the single was not released in the US, it was released internationally and became a big international hit. In the US the songs were released on two hit EP's, both of which top the US EP chart and were certified PLATINUM by the RIAA. While both songs are available on other CDs, this is a nice collectors item for avid Elvis fans.
