Viva Lost Elvis!
Looks like Elvis left something behind on his way out the building.
Nearly 40 years after its recording, a never-before-released Elvis Presley track is set to appear on the forthcoming collection Elvis 2nd to None. The King, who died on August 16, 1977, recorded the song "I'm a Roustabout" for his 1964 circus-themed film Roustabout with Barbara Stanwyck and Raquel Welch, but the producers ultimately opted for a different song to be used as the film and album's title track.
For decades, the shelved original remained stashed away in the private collection of songwriter Winfield Scott, who penned the track with partner Otis Blackwell (also a collaborator on "All Shook Up" and "Don't Be Cruel"). As the track collected dust, Scott happened to mention it to a reporter, who in turn tipped off a producer at RCA Records. The label, upon hearing the unreleased track, made the arrangements to make the song available.
Along with the unearthed track, Elvis 2nd to None, a sequel to last year's monstrously huge Elv1s 30 #1 Hits anthology, will include 30 more of the King's songs digitally polished from the original master tapes, including "That's All Right," "Viva Las Vegas," "Blue Suede Shoes," "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You," "Always on My Mind" and "Don't Cry Daddy."
Like its predecessor, which contained the chart-topping "A Little Less Conversation" remix by JXL, the new anthology will feature a Paul Oakenfold redo of the 1969 track "Rubberneckin'." Oakenfold, widely considered the world's top deejay, previously remixed songs for U2, Björk and the Rolling Stones, and scored his own commercial hit last year with "Starry Eyed Surprise."
"My hope is that the remix of 'Rubberneckin' ' will introduce Elvis' music to millions of new, young listeners and help create a new generation of fans," says Oakenfold in a statement. "I was drawn to this project primarily due to the influence of my father, who was a dedicated Elvis fan, and, with his passing, it is a tribute to him."
This new collection, due October 7, comes exactly one year after the monstrously huge Elv1s 30 #1 Hits, which topped the Billboard charts for three weeks and sold 9 million copies worldwide. While the 2002 collection featured the King's top radio hits and the popular JXL remix, Elvis 2nd to None will feature lesser known classics that cover the breadth of his range, including Elvis takes on R&B, rock, pop, country, dance and rockabilly.
The news also comes as upwards of 30,000 fans descend on Graceland to mark the 26th anniversary of Presley's passing, which culminates with a candlelight vigil at his grave Friday night.
Leading up to the album's street date, RCA Records will release the "Rubberneckin'" remix to radio on August 25 with a music video set to premiere about the same time. The commercial single for "Rubberneckin'" will be available September 9.
