Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock Shaped Picture Disc 33 RPM Vinyl VPI Label
In 1957, Elvis' film Jailhouse Rock hit theaters. One of the most iconic feature films from that period. Elvis portrays his role in an impressive way. One one-liner from the film made, and still makes, a big impression and leaves nothing to the imagination: "it aint tactics honey, it's just the beast in me". In addition to the glorious role that Elvis plays as a prisoner, the title song Jailhouse Rock is of course a great one. Not only vocally fantastic, but also the dance scene as seen in the film can at least be called cultural heritage!
The VPI label is now launching a limited vinyl release in the form of a shaped vinyl record. Not in a completely round shape, but a modified shape with Elvis' image: images of the dance scene from the film on both sides of the plate. The playlist on the vinyl is film versions and various takes. The vinyl is packaged in a sturdy, transparent plastic sleeve.
Highly recommended for vinyl lovers! Now available in limited quantities in your ElvisMatters Shop!
