Vee-Tone Records wil release a 10" album inspired by the legendary South African album Janis and Elvis. This is their press-release:
This stunning 10” album was inspired by the now legendary 1957 “JANIS AND ELVIS” South African album, “JANIS AND ELVIS - The RCA VICTOR Singles 1956-1958” features 12 original RCA VICTOR recordings from Janis Martin aka “The Female Elvis” and Elvis Presley (3 x Janis Martin 45s A&B sides and 3 x Elvis Presley 45s A&B sides). The short two year window from 1956 to 1958 was extremely significant to both artists, both kick started their RCA recording careers in 1956 and by 1958 both artists were forced to take a break from the recording studios, in Elvis’ case he was drafted into the Army and regrettably for Janis her contract was ended by RCA. The similarities didn’t end there either both artists resumed their recording careers in 1960, with Elvis famously returning to the studio and Janis recording two 45s for the Belgian record label, Palette. The 45s featured in this collection are raw slices of prime Rock n Roll cooked to perfection by RCAs fine production teams… meaty goodies indeed, served up on a sizzling 10” platter!
