Ouch, well i guess if you put stuff out there, then ya gotta suffer the repercussions, but SuziB anything that gets you from A to B and doesn't burn up the planet is fine with me, be it a Starlet or Almera, the Japs make good cars. We cant all be rich kids and who would want to be, if that's all they have going for them, some status symbol to make them feel less shallow, like that chick Elvis put across his knee in Blue Hawaii, classic. Anyway i,ve only seen photos of him on Harleys and Triumphs, bar the ones from Roustabout, which is a movie and was my original point laced with some humour, but i guess people have different senses of humour. You obviously don't get mine and that's fine but no need to wave the jewellery around like a weapon, cant take it with you, you know.

Snowplow -did you make that up for a particular reason as it's simply not true - Elvis bought his own Hondas years before Roustabout! As for describing Hondas as 'Jap crap; tells everyone all they need about you. I have several friends who ride Goldwings which, specced, cost about £30k - at least three times the cost of your 'Jap crap' car. All of them could easily afford any bike they wanted. Actually calling a Starlet a car is something of a push and really negates anything you have to say on the subject. I drive a Maserati Quattroporte.

Well, if i had to choose between a Harley and a honda, i know which one i would choose and the only reason Elvis owned the jap crap is because the studios gave them to him for free, for obvious reasons. I drive a Starlet myself, Great car, drive Forever.

This remix was real good, was done right, and the timing was right. It was also a little known gem outside of the Elvis world with an infectious beat. The remixes I have heard since dont come close and to me are very bad especially the Viva Elvis ones. Bossa Nova was prertty good, but not as good as this. There are other great unknown gems which could benefit with a good remix but it must be done as well as ALLC to have any merit. Hopes are not high.

Loved the JXL remix from the start. Had a BMW and loved it too.

Sorry, should have said "whenever anyone...." Wish EN had an edit button!

Whenever Elvis talks about Elvis motorbikes, they always drag up the old chestnut about Elvis riding Harleys in real life and a Honda in Roustabout - more apocryphal nonsense. Elvis rode many different bikes in several movies. Yes, in 'real life', he loved Harleys - especial Dressers - but he owned at least two Honda Dreams and Triumphs too...

In real life, Elvis rode a Harley Davidson, yet in Roustabout he was seen straddling a Honda, we all know his music dating back from, Baby lets play House, symbolizes his love for Cadillacs, so why, oh why do they use his music for cars that he did not particularly dig. Anyway, great song, JxL did him justice, this version sticks like glue and even though advertising signs are just cons, lots of people have discovered the magic of Elvis, since its been commercialized for other products. The Col. has passed and his music has been freed up to be used in commercials, etc! I feel the sixties soundtracks are the most likely candidates for this kind of treatment. So keep Rocking and spreading the good music. I always respected The Col. for not selling Elvis out for bigger bucks, ie tv commercials, but these days it works, it seems like you cant catch a movie or watch someone's tv without hearing Elvis singing.

Why, oh why...? For some people every piece of news has to be met with criticism - why isnt this or that being released... What on earth has this got to do with blu-ray releases? Blu-Ray is already dying - see reports from Sony and Samsung. Quality hifi manufacturers haven't embraced it owing to the licencing stucture and concerns over soufcing of components, and neither has the mainstream public - simply because for most DVD is just as good. There is absolutely no hope of seeing any more of Elvis' films released on blu-ray - as there is simply no point and no market. If you compare VLV and JR to DVD versions, there is no improvement whatosever. Blu-ray is about image quality and sound (Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD - obviously, no Elvis films were recorded on this) - to remaster frame by frame is incredibly expensive and not going to happen.... BtW, a BMW 3 series is not an'awesome' car - it's a good cheap car driven by junior mangement as a company car or chavs with no style or taste - nothing smacks of desperation as much as driving a BMW 3 series.

Almost 10 years on and the remix is still going strong! there's no doubt it IS a good remix and now its brought to the attention of a new generation who may have not heard it before.

There's no doubt about the popularity of Elvis today. Maybe the Cd and singles market isn't what it used to be but the fondness for the king definately hasn't diminished! So why don't the various companies who own the songs/movies get their act together? Why is there no King on blu-ray? No deluxe editions of TTWII, EOT, no directors cut of 68S?

Fantastic PR. It goes to show that 'Elvis' is still part and parcel of the latest international developments. He is truely the King of Music!
