I just listened to the 1980's U.K. pressing of ''A Date With Elvis'' with green labels.

The liner notes on the back were written by Roger Semon who nowadays (for the past 20 years) works for FTD. I thought i'd share those liner notes.

A DATE WITH ELVIS
INTS 5032
(NL 43220)
Cassette INTK 5032

In July 1955 “Baby Let’s Play House” created a major breakthrough for Elvis in America. Released on the now legendary Sun label, it was the first Elvis record to show in a national country chart. It also featured well in the airplay chart compiled by disc jockeys. As this record climbed the charts the last single on the Sun label was released: “Mystery Train” combined with “l Forgot To Remember To Forget”.

The latter song and “Baby Let’s Play House” are featured on this album with three other classic Sun recordings: “Good Rockin’ Tonight”, “Milk Cow Blues Boogie” and “Blue Moon Of Kentucky”.

Elvis’s performances on stage were packed with power and originality and it was only a matter of time before this phenomenon was released on the rest of the world. Later that year, RCA paid what was considered an amazing amount of money to Sam Phillips of Sun Records for Elvis’s contract: $35,000, with an extra $5,000 going to Elvis for a transfer feel Besides obtaining exclusive rights to an artist that would sell millions of records throughout the world, RCA also obtained the rights to all released and unreleased Sun recordings.

EIvis’s first recordings for RCA in 1956 produced the now legendary “Heartbreak HoteI” and “Don’t Be Cruel”.
In January 1958, after the success of his records and films, “Love Me Tender”, “Loving You” and “Jailhouse Rock”, Elvis was due to report to the army draft office in Memphis.
Elvis was soon to be serving his country in Germany. However, Paramount had already committed $350,000 to the production of “King CreoIe” and Elvis was granted a deferment.

He reported to the draft office on March 24th 1958.
While Elvis was away RCA released a regular flow of records including “A Fool Such As I” and “A Big Hunk Of Love”.
These, as expected, were million sellers. “King Creole”, when released, received the best reviews so far for an Elvis movie and his popularity never waned. In August 1959 RCA released “A Date With Elvis”. This was what every fan wanted!

On the back of the original sleeve was a calendar for 1960 with EIvis’s release date from the army circled! Besides the Sun recordings, the album contained tracks from “Jailhouse Rock” and “Love Me Tender”. An unissued ballad: “ls It So Strange” was also included. On March 5th Elvis was a civilian again and continued a staggering career that will probably never be equalled.

So here it is, what every real fan wanted: “A Date With Elvis”.

Nice sleeve notes by Roger. However, Is It So Strange had been released on the EP "Just for You" in September 1957.

Today it was this one, that was released only in the netherlands and produced by Joan Deary. All tracks were taken from the at the time recently released Elvis Aron Presley boxset. Side A deals with the live tracks (all these are live versions) and side B deals with studio material

To be honest, I cannot quite remember. I listened to a bunch of the 69 American sessions stuff I compiled and thorougly enjoyed it. Then I listened in my car to a self-made 2 disc compilation called "Elvis Rocks!" but kinda skipped a lot of the songs. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood.

@Johnny2523: I have that "Rarities" vinyl too and kinda enjoyed it. Not the worst release but then nothing really special any more. But I'm glad I have it.

By the way, I am still looking for the south african pressing of the "Elvis Blue" album :P

On August 16th I could not get enough of " King Creole " on CD, what a fantastic Rock 'n Roll album, plus " How Great thou Art", an album that never ceases to amaze me. So Elvis, I still miss you and your music will always live on. Two incredible albums that will always stand the test of time.

I'm playing now LP Standing room only

The LP was released in march 1987 on Laurel LPS 3772.

The LP contains tracks from movie Elvis On Tour; on this LP are two tracks from 09-04-72 evening show in true stereo which are not released on CD for a long time. Only here available: I got a woman/Amen - You gave me a mountain.

In the bootleg book (entry 838) You gave me a mountain is wrong dated. The right date is 09-04-72 eve
