Doc Pomus: Viva Doc Pomus - Songs For Elvis - The Demos (Coloured Vinyl 2xLP)

So, where do all those songs start? The demos - painstakingly transferred, restored and mastered from the original acetates with full approval and cooperation of the Pomus estate, Viva Doc Pomus - Songs For Elvis - The Demos explores the recordings submitted to Presley for his consideration to record.

Some (the aforementioned hits and more) were recorded and released by Elvis, while others fell by the wayside for reasons lost to time and we're left to imagine what might have been had The King recorded and released them.

Available on a double opaque orange-coloured LP for Record Store Day, the origins of rock & roll are in full force on Viva Doc Pomus - Songs For Elvis - The Demos.

Hear what Elvis heard for yourself and wonder what could have been. Viva Doc Pomus indeed.
