While in Best Buy today, I glanced at the Playlist: The Very Best Of Elvis Presley and noticed for many of the tracks the term single release was used.
Are there any differences between 45 and LP for any songs tagged single release? |

I'm very careful with those Sony/BMG releases that claim to use single versions. The 3 CD set "Rock On" claims to have the single version of "It Never Rains In Southern California" but it's the LP length, and "Cinnamon" by Derek is the stereo remix, not the 45 version. They also have a tendancy tack "single version" on songs where there is no difference between the single and LP version.

How many Elvis songs were there that had different single vs. album versions?

Steve: No differences that I know of.
At least with the Eddie Money track and the several Hall & Oates tracks, so far single release means 45 version. |

Not a ton. Even many of his 60s mono singles (actually, ALL his 60s singles were mono) were fold-downs. If they were produced by Bill Porter at RCA Nashville, they were. Devil in Disguise is one that allegedly has slight mix diferences in the stereo mix from what was issued on the mono 45, though Steve Hoffman says he remixed the version on DCC "24 Carat Hits," which I own, to sound like the 45. Apparently, after the mono single was issued (which was a fold-down of the stereo mix), RCA ordered a stereo remix done in New York. Porter says the only track he produced at RCA Nashville that wasn't an exact foldown of his stereo mix was "Suspicion Minds," where he over dubbed horns, live while mixing, so no separate horn track exists.

Having just looked at the actual Presley Playlist CD, it says "single release" in the "album" column. To me this simply means that there really wasn't a parent album from which the single was pulled.

Is there anything special on this cd that would make it a worthwhile purchase? I've seen the track list, and unless there is some first time stereo mix or something, it doesn't seem worth buying, to me....
