ELVIS # 1 SINGLES BOX SET RELEASED JANUARY 24, 2006 FROM THE SONY BMG STRATEGIC MARKETING GROUP

CAMPAIGN WILL KICK OFF WITH JANUARY 10, 2006
RE-RELEASE OF ELVIS' FIRST #1 SINGLE 'HEARTBREAK HOTEL'
CELEBRATING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF
ELVIS' FIRST RCA RECORDING SESSION
Celebrating the milestone 50th anniversary of Elvis Presley's first RCA recording session and first #1 hit 'Heartbreak Hotel,' the SONY BMG Strategic Marketing Group will release the deluxe 'Elvis #1 Singles' Box Set on January 24, 2006. The UK version of this box set caused frenzy among Elvis fans as they anxiously waited week to week for the release of the next single to build out their box set. The US version will release all 21 #1 US hits on 20 individual CD singles together in a limited edition, numbered collectors box set. (One of the 20 CD singles is a double A-side containing two #1 hits, 'Hound Dog' and 'Don't Be Cruel'). Each single will be individually packaged in a dynamic mini sleeve reflective of the original single artwork. Preserving the look of the original 45's, each CD will be pressed on black plastic with grooves to mimic vinyl.
Presley's famous first RCA Studios session, recorded just days after his 21st birthday, produced 'Heartbreak Hotel.' Recorded on January 10th and 11th in 1956, and released just a few weeks later, the epic single spent 8 weeks on the Billboard Top 100 chart at #1. The single crossed genres, topping the country charts for 17 weeks and reaching #3 on the R&B charts. Sony BMG commemorates the 50th anniversary of this legendary recording by re-releasing the 'Heartbreak Hotel' single on January 10, 2006. The single artwork will emulate that of the EP that was released in April of 1956, as well as the artwork of the original single that was released in a generic RCA paper sleeve.
The newly formed SONY BMG Strategic Marketing unit works closely with the company's labels to oversee and coordinate activities in a variety of areas, including master television, film and commercial licensing, creative product development, partnership marketing alliances, and the coordination of joint soundtrack projects between the Sony Music and BMG label groups, as well as overseeing Elvis Presley content management.
