Now I'm agreeing with scsa and Elvis Girl and say number 1, number 1, number 1, please, please, please. Well It's a great song regardless and I really, really, really hope It is the brilliant original version this time and NOT the limp version BMG decided to put on 30 number 1s under the guise of a better quality audio. That was a crime as Elvis was clearly off form for the first part of that song. You DO NOT replace a great version with a limp version because the audio quality is better!

I think there is something wrong here. On all my RCA sleeves for this period, the grren lettering is the other way up. And that black sticker really ruins the sleeve. Similarly, did no one at BMG look at the original artwork for all the singles before deciding to put those horrible stickers on the CD sleeves. What is the point of producing quality pic sleeves only to have Elvis' face obliterated. And why have such a big box on the back that houses a number, or even just a blank box, that then destroys the original artwork - take a look at the rear of DID.

emjel your right about the cover on the Wonder Of You.The green writing is not suppose to be upside down.Unless somebody knows they done some this way.But I have not got a sleeve like this in my collection.And I also hope this is the original of The Wonder Of You as well and not the 30 no 1s version.

I am just hoping that the new download chart/cd chart combination will not affect the placing of TWOY. It was suggested today on the Radio that the majority of people downloading are males aged bewteen 25 and 50. Perhaps as a one off, we should all download a copy of TWOY, for historical purposes - "this was the first Elvis single that I ever downloaded into my record collection". I think it costs 99p, and at least it'll hopefully keep Elvis up in the Top 5.

Hi everyone, I would love to help get TWOY to the top. I'm from Switzerland and already ordered my copy from HMV. However, I do not know where to download it from. Could you give me some insights. Thanks

For downloads to register in the UK charts then your provider has to be a ".co.uk" site. Those who sales figures go towards the UK charts are Napster, and Tescodownloads. To complicate things more the Chart Company has signed a deal with Orange for ringtones to be included in the main singles chart. May the spirit of The Colonel be amongst you.

Careful with the woolworths download, It may be the TWOY from 30 greatest hits as they are listed on the same search page for that song. Fine If you like that version and some people do, but If you're after the original you may end up disappointed. Try the sites Todd referred to, perhaps tomorrow. I don't know If It's downloadable before tomorrow, although It's a short wait anyway!
