Belgiums news paper Het Laatste Nieuws will release a full Elvis CD, containing 12 tracks. The special release is part of the new series "Hit CD's" that this paper is putting out. One coupon from the news paper, and 4.95 euro is enough to get this special collector's CD. The Elvis CD is available on Wednesday, November 3rd.
The CD campaign comes with a special commercial on Belgian
national television VTM. The music that you'll hear - "All Shook Up" - comes from the archives of ElvisMatters, but not the images. Record company BMG gave special permission for this rare CD. No doubt that this new release will once again lift the sales figures of Elvis in Flanders.

I think that it is good to promote Elvis this way, but they ( BMG ) should do it with the normal releases, because the promoting in the last few years were worse, not enough. Can somebody remember the Vol. 1 of the ESSENTIAL CD ? It sold over a million In the U.k. alone!! Why ? Because of the good promoting. The same can be said about the 5 CD Box THE KING OF ROCK`N`ROLL and the box with the songs from the 60`s. The Boxes sold millions worldwide. With the promoting the 70`s BOX WALK A MILE IN MY ( SOCKS) SHOES they went wrong. Promo material was rare at the time. So, BMG: Promote Elvis the right way!!
