DISC 5
THE DEMO ACETATES
When a new Elvis movie was created, Col. Parker used to ask several songwriters
to write songs for the movie. Mostly the Colonel gave them a title or a
description of the scene and the songwriters understood what kind of song the
Cololnel needed.
This
so called “demos” were then recorded at expenses of the songwriters on an
acetate disc and sended to the Colonel for approval. Obiously there was
competition between the different songwriters, some of the songs were rejected,
some were actually recorded by Elvis.
The
actual demos are unique, mostly there were only one or two acetates made and
due to the material (wax on a metal plate) they were very fragile and could
only be played a few times.
Disc
5 contains newly discovered demo recordings, all of these recordings were
recorded and written for the Elvis movies. Some weren’t used for obiouis
reasons, simply because they were not good enough and some you can actual image
Elvis singing them.
Fun
In Acapulco is almost a copy of the demo, except for some lyrics that were
changed during recording.
Most
of these acetates came from the Dolores Fuller collection and were written by
her and composed by Ben Weissman, except for Fun In Acapulco (Ben Weissman/Sid
Wayne), Night Life (Giant/Baume/Kayne), I Need Somebody To Lean On
(Pomus/Shuman), Love On The Rocks (Tepper/Bennett).
Sit
back and enjoy these recordings. Some of these songs might turn out to be
completely different than you’ll expect.
