The King Creole acetate covers are great!!!! [img]style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif[/img]

Posted by: Ian Jun 2 2006, 07:55 PM

These look even better in this quality, Chris. FTD should take note!!! If I saw this CD in HMV, it would grab my attention straight away! Could you or Neil give us any more info about the tracks on this one. I didn't realise there were any unreleased takes from 'King Creole'. Anything new from the 50's would be amazing......

This CD was sent to me about 12 months ago Ian with no covers, All I really know is this is ripped from vinyl
it was released by "Creole Records" and I am led to believe the label was miss printed stating there where 10 tracks of king creole, the person who sent it to me assured he me he put this on CD himself and there are only 9 King creole tracks

Posted by: Ian Jun 2 2006, 10:21 PM

Neil. It sounds like an interesting CD. Are the tracks alternate takes, or versions from the film soundtrack, or what? King Creole is my favourite Elvis film, and I'm into Elvis's 50's recordings, so this sounds great. Thanks............ [img]style_emoticons/default/cheers.gif[/img]

It must have been ripped from this vinyl album. I remeber having it on cassette somewhere. There's no info on the cover regarding take numbers etc.

A NightRider Designs MASTERPIECE, IMO!!!! Just Brilliant Chris.....Of all of your great cover designs, this one steals the show for me....My favorite and I think your best yet!!!

Those King Creole Acetates are more or less fakes with faked count ins..
They used count ins from movies like Blue Hawaii to make the takes more real.
If you listen closely you find repetition of takes...sorry to say this..
This release is a rip off..the cover art ..however is excellent...

Posted by: Ian Jun 6 2006, 07:13 PM

Thanks for the info on these acetates Ciscoking. I had never heard of them before, and I was surprised that there were unreleased takes from King Creole! So it seems that there's nothing new here really - a shame.

The covers are still magnificent though Chris - you seem to be getting better with every cover... [img]style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif[/img]

Posted by: Ciscoking Jun 6 2006, 07:30 PM

What we have of King Creole Is

take 3, 18 (alt master) from Jan. 15th,1958 (released on King Creole 97).
take 13 (master) from Jan. 23rd, 1958.

But never a total of 9 different takes.....!!!

Posted by: colonel snow Jun 6 2006, 08:47 PM

the LP King Creole Acetates was released in 1987 (label Creole rec. 456)

it contains 10 versions King Creole / 3 versions Crawfish / 3 versions Steadfast loyal and true /
9 versions As long as I have you / 3 versions Lover doll

the LP originates from a cassette tape with all fake take numers / several versions are speeded up or slow down to give you the impression that's is an alternate take. this tape was used by a " money maker " to release the LP but is total fake and not worth to have it in any collection

the original selections were available on the LP: " From the beach to the bayou " and the later pressing " Beach to the bayou " and some more LP's
even on both LP's were wrong count in and take numbers announced but still original.

with the exception of King Creole track EX take 13 (unrepaired guitar solo) most of the King Creole alternates were released on CD Essential Elvis vol. 3
and only a few as mentioned are known to exist.

Exactly..you´ve nailed it....!!!

Posted by: Ian Jun 7 2006, 08:59 PM

Thanks again for the info guys. Maybe one day some alternates from King Creole will be found - you never know!!! [img]style_emoticons/default/cheers.gif[/img]

Chris,

I can't see any designs, am I doing something wrong?

Posted by: NightRider Jul 14 2010, 09:31 PM

Hi there,

Glad to see you posting

Most of these old threads refer to the old Nightrider Site. That one is now off line and i am in the middle of building a completely new one. The designs will be back soon...once i have gotten three or four new covers to "re-open" the artwork section.

Posted by: Crawfish Jul 15 2010, 11:40 PM

I am confused a little, how is it guests can see the King Creole images but I for some strange reason can't see a thing.

Posted by: C.C.Rider Jul 16 2010, 12:25 PM

I don't see any images. You mean on here ?

Posted by: Crawfish Jul 16 2010, 06:34 PM

The OP mentioned some King Creole images, and I thought they were available on this thread?

Posted by: NightRider Jul 16 2010, 06:41 PM

There aren't any images on this thread...they were on my site before it was updated. This thread is an old one mate.

Posted by: rosan Nov 2 2010, 11:06 AM

hope someone here can re-post the king creole acetate covers

Posted by: NightRider Nov 2 2010, 10:02 PM

I will be doing the new FTD King Creole very soon. IF you still want these old covers...i will try and dig them out for you

Welcome to TKC btw
