Brits braced for Elvis' 70th birthday (Agencies) Updated: 2004-11-30 14:41
The U.K. arm of RCA Records will launch an ambitious singles release campaign
next year to mark the 70th anniversary of Elvis Presley's birth on Jan. 8.

Presley | RCA will reissue each of Presley's 18
U.K. No. 1 singles weekly, in chronological order, as limited edition CDs or
10-inch vinyl discs. The campaign will begin Jan. 3 with "All Shook Up" and
"Jailhouse Rock" and will end April 25 with the 2002 JXL vs. Elvis hit remake "A
Little Less Conversation."
"All Shook Up" comes with a box that can hold all 18 singles in either
format; this makes it ineligible for the U.K. singles chart under current rules.
All other singles in the series have the potential to reach the
chart.
