COMPANION PIECE TO THE MULTI-PLATINUM SELLING 30 #1 HITS CD

( New York, NY )  On October 30^th 2007, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, in conjunction with Elvis Presley Enterprises, will release the first ever “Elvis #1 Hit Performances" DVD.  The DVD is comprised of quintessential performances by the King of Rock 'n' Roll showcasing 15 of his number one hits.  Culled from his TV guest appearances, movies, concert films and television specials -- this is Elvis at his best. 

The DVD includes performances of ‘Heartbreak Hotel’, Elvis’ first gold record award winner; ‘Hound Dog’; ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’ and more. No DVD would be complete without his famous “from the waist up only” performance of ‘Don’t Be Cruel’ on the Ed Sullivan Show.  Also included, bonus features of Elvis Presley press conferences from 1960 at Graceland and 1972 from the New York Hilton.

FAQ: 

Why does the version sold outside of North America have double the number of song performances compared to the North American release?

The content is less for the North American release partly because in North America music publishing clearance rates are not standardized for DVD releases like they are for CDs.  Music publishers can hold the songs they own or represent for ransom for a U.S. DVD release.  In other countries the music publishing clearance rates are standardized for DVDs.
