July/2011. Happy Birthday to the man that started it all. Many happy returns of the day Bill Haley. "Shake Rattle and Roll", became the first international rock and roll hit in 1954 reached #7 on Billboard.
heard it for the first tine tonight and i agree it's an excellent take! maybe the reason they didn't release it is because the "sun comes shining through" verse seemed a little risque, or maybe even though the piano sounds great, they thought the band's sound fell apart too much during that bit... maybe Elvis actually just didn't like the way something in particular sounded or something... who knows how they decide which take to release?? but yeah, it's a lot of fun! thanks for sharing!
