Rumor has it that an Elvis duets album may be in the works with BMG. The original idea is said to have come from Joe Guercio but another producer took the idea to BMG. Which crushed Joe. The concept is said to be Elvis singing primarily with female singers for a Christmas album. Read more exclusive and in depth information on this project in the next Elvis Unlimited magazine.

Re: Elvis Christmas Duets Album in the works
That's an interesting idea......since his christmas album is his biggest selling album..I would imagine that this one would do pretty good..but they would have to use the songs from the 60's/70's,unless they have binarul(sp)/stereo masters from the 50's somewhere...

Re: Elvis Christmas Duets Album in the works
That whole post-humous cyber "duet" thing gives me the creeps -- especially at Christmas!
Make it a sort of "Monster-mash" Halloween thing, and I might be on board.

There is nothing to prevent the 50's tracks being "duetted" in mono.joshferrell wrote:That's an interesting idea......since his christmas album is his biggest selling album..I would imagine that this one would do pretty good..but they would have to use the songs from the 60's/70's,unless they have binarul(sp)/stereo masters from the 50's somewhere...

Re: Elvis Christmas Duets Album in the works
I'd rather have a deluxe FTD of either Christmas album with outtakes than some fake duet album.

Re: Elvis Christmas Duets Album in the works
They are lucky to squeeze yet another way to put out a Christmas album. I am curious to hear the results but not neccessarily something I'd buy.
Re: Elvis Christmas Duets Album in the works
I'm not going to pass judgement until rumor becomes reality and I see the details.

Re: Elvis Christmas Duets Album in the works
Funny thing, I posted just the other day [in another thread] that these 'duet' things work better with a female singer & Elvis !
I didn't know about this project then !
As was said before, a lot depends on how well it is done, and who they get to sing with him !
I don't object in principle.
We'll still have the originals.......................

As ColinB says, it depends on how well the project is done and who the duet partners are.

I agree, the whole "idea" sucks. It has been done lots of times with other artists. the Nat king cole and Sinatra ones I am famailer with.JerryNodak wrote:ekenee wrote:Why break from tradition?

This is not an original idea, and we already have the originals. It is a marketing ploy and nothing more. If it turns out bad, they will still sell lots of them more than likely.
Think about that TV special that was on and you had the likes of various modern day rock and country people doing Elvis songs, and it was boring.
I just can't get too exited about this kind of thing when am looking forward to really great stuff like the 3-CD Sun box book set and perhaps and 2 disc Jailhouse Rock sessions FTD, or Final Hayride show, or Hawaii 1961 on FTD or anything along those lines.
This type of release is for the general public and not for fanatics looking for rare performances.
