Elvis Presley featuring JXL - A Little Less Conversation (HQ 1080p HD Upscale)
"A Little Less Conversation" is a song written by Mac Davis and Billy Strange that was originally performed and written for American rock and roll icon Elvis Presley for the 1968 film Live a Little, Love a Little. When the song was released as a single with "Almost in Love" as the b-side, it became a minor hit in the United States. When a remix of the song by Junkie XL was released as a single in 2002, the single became a world-wide hit, topping the singles charts in nine countries and was awarded certifications in ten countries by 2003.
"A Little Less Conversation" was recorded on March 7, 1968 at Western Recorders in Hollywood, California. The song was not released on an LP until November 1970, when it was included on the RCA Camden budget label LP Almost in Love. There are several different takes that were made of the song on the March 7th session. The single version used take 16, which was also used for the soundtrack of the film. The version released on the Almost In Love album is take 10, which is 1 second longer in duration.
Following the song's use in the 2001 film Ocean's Eleven, it was remixed by Junkie XL also known as Tom Holkenborg. The techno remix featured Elvis with a lower voice, and added emphasis to the 1968 guitars, horns and a funky drums sound. RCA, (the recording agency for Elvis Presley) made an attempt to restore Elvis' hits by allowing the cover recording of the song. Tom Holkenborg is the first artist to receive authorization to remix an Elvis Presley song by the Elvis Presley Estate. The techno version of the song became a No. 1 hit in Britain in 2002. The song also became No. 1 in Japan and Australia.
In 2002, the TV special version of "A Little Less Conversation," remixed by Junkie XL was used for a 2002 World Cup advertising campaign. A single, credited to "Elvis vs. JXL," was issued and went on to become a Number 1 hit in over 20 countries.
At about the same time, a compilation of Presley's U.S. Number 1 chart hits, entitled ELV1S 30 #1 Hits, was being prepared for release. At the last minute, "A Little Less Conversation (Remix Version)" was added as the album's 31st track just before its release in October 2002. The full 6:09 version was edited slightly, extended to 6:22 and this version was featured on the US version of JXL's 2004 album Radio JXL: A Broadcast from the Computer Hell Cabin.
When the song was knocked off the #1 spot on the Australian ARIA Charts, a radio broadcaster made the joke that "this song has left the No.1 building".

I had a good quality vob file source for this. After removing the top layer of fizz the only thing that I found that didn't sit well with me is the 'speckled' look of the people in the video. This noise or 'special effect' is something that I dislike intensely but video makers insist on using this crappy effect. I have reduced this in half. Looks much softer and better now especially on the 'skin' of those in the video.
If any video makers are reading this then I ask you to please stop ruining videos by adding 'noise' as a special effect. This isn't smart nor cool. It's insane.
The audio was good quality stereo from the vob file but a little dull so i've run it through a couple of filters to give it more sparkle than it had before.
This is the best quality online for this great Elvis Presely JXL hit yesteryear and I hope you enjoy it! :-)
Be aware that some evil people will download my clip restorations, upload them to their own channel and then try to take credit for my hard work. They will even go so far as to say I stole it from them! What goes around comes around and they are storing up some very bad 'karma' for themselves. While I do not own the rights to the music or the videos themselves it is my hard work in restoring these old music videos for your enjoyment that is being compromised by any such attempts at smearing my reputation. If you spot these people then let them know that you are aware that they are nothing but liars and losers.
