This was released because of the 50th aniversary of the release of this single. It has an outtake as an extra. The cover of the EP was used since singles didn't have picture covers for Elvis until Hound Dog/Don't Be Cruel.

This is for collector's since most people would buy these songs on a Greatest Hits compilation.

5.0 out of 5 stars The start of a music revolution!, September 1, 2007

By 

A Fan (VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Heartbreak Hotel (Spkg) (Audio CD)

What can you say about a classic that started a revolution in popular music? This single went to number 1 on the US singles chart and stayed their for 7 weeks. The flip side also charted, peaking at 23 on the Billboard Top 100. The single would eventually be certified MULTI-PLATINUM by the RIAA. This CD single includes both the original 45 single A and B sides plus an alternate take of Heartbreak Hotel as a bonus. This is a piece of history and a must for any student of rock.

Incidentally, this single was re-released in 2006 and hit number 1 again on the Billboard Singles Sales chart 50 years after it did it the first time! Talk about staying power!
