Christmas Duets -Tracks ("Shop Elvis")

[MysteryTrain]

"Shop Elvis" has the Christmas Duets CD available for "pre-order." There are three bonus tracks by Elvis, which say "2008." I assume that means remastered 2008, or, perhaps, new backing tracks recorded 2008.

Below is the info from "Shop Elvis."

It will be a great Christmas without this one! I stick to the originals they're doing just fine. Don't need no desperate housewifes and country chicks along with Elvis.

Mrry Christmas.

I reckon this album will make a fascinating listen...............................

[javilu]

This is an album I will not bother buying.

[BigredG]

A fairly inauspicious start to the whole "duets" approach.

Hoping for better down the line.

[Brian Quinn]

This could be Elvis' biggest hit since 30 No.1 Hits in the U.S.A. providing Sony give it enough TV exposure. I hope to buy every different version that is released.

Disappointed that there are three songs not shown as duets. It is either a 'Duets' album or it is not.

10. O Come, All Ye Faithful with Olivia Newton-John

Does this pave the way for a mouth watering If You Love Me (Let Me Know) duet !!

I hope so!

Good to see you back BigR.

I'm thinking that the Elvis (2008) songs listed are going to be updated with new music to match the sound with the rest of the c.d....

[Swingin-Little-Guitar-Man]

They played Blue Christmas and Here Comes Santa Claus at the expo in Memphis and they were awful. Sounded very ameteur and false.

Maybe they were the rough mixes....................................

[MysteryTrain]

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I thought the duets on "Blue Christmas" and "Here Comes Santa Claus" were quite good, especially on "Blue Christmas."

[Swingin-Little-Guitar-Man]

It was a verse by elvis then a verse by the woman then back to elvis with an appalling edit making him come in a fraction early. And the Leanne Rimes harmony's were worse than VOICE!

[javilu]

I will only buy this album if Elvis gives his permission to have his recordings be tampered with.

[bajo]

I will await the moaning untill I hear the album!

[RKSNASHVILLE]

Is there a reason why it is all female duets?

A few years ago Alan Jackson did a duet with the late Keith Whitley and it sounded great.

I wonder why no male singers we're used?

Hope it's good...if it's bad, there will be no point in doing another one next year.

Wonder what "O Come All Ye Faithful" sounds like with Olivia Newton-John! She better not have ruined the reputation of my favorite Elvis Christmas song. In my humble opinion that particular track would better be left alone or, featured as one of the Bonus Songs.

Do the artists featured alongside Elvis have the calibre to make the record appeal to none-Elvis fans. I mean, there's no Madonna or Celine or Mariah, so will it work?

[archdeak]

Really looking forward to the Rock n Roll duets disc.

Really looking forward to the Blues duets disc.

Really looking forward to the Ballads duets disc.

Really looking forward to the Country duets disc.

Really looking forward to the Gospel duets disc.

Really looking forward to the Childrens duets disc.

Really looking forward to the Hawaiian duets disc.

Really looking forward to the Latino duets disc.

Dear Elvis,
Thank You that in your life time you covered so many styles and now with corporate shrewdness we can supply cash for a long time to the coffers of the corporation. I expect you are pleased to see thata the body of work you left us in your legacy is been treated with respect.
Rock On,

Your Trusty supporters.

[KiwiAlan]

As I assumed previously only ten "new" tracks. Pretty mean!

So no doubt the other ten Christmas oops holiday tracks will be on a 2009 version.

That aside I'm looking forward to this. With such a small tracklist downloads could be a cheaper option for many people.

[JerryNodak]

I'll buy one for me and several as gifts. Looking forward to it.

Err........................................................ who's gonna ask him ?

I'm sure RCA has asked Sylvia Brown...after all she's right about everything,after all Giulliani IS going to win the election this year and the price of gas DID go way down this summer like she said it would...of course my favorite is when she told the parents of a kid that the kid was dead but they found out a couple years later that he was indeed alive..............so of course Elvis told Sylvia it was o.k. to do this c.d.....

[JerryNodak]

Who?

Gail Brewer Giorgio. She has Elvis e-mail and a recording where Elvis tells the story of how he faked his own death.

Err....... if he's alive, why doesn't he do the duets for real ?
