In 1957, Elvis Presley recorded these two songs during the landmark sessions that produced Elvis’ Christmas Album.

“Blue Christmas” is one of Elvis’ most iconic and enduring holiday songs. Written by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson and first recorded in 1948, the song became iconic when Elvis gave it his signature sound—complete with Millie Kirkham’s ghostly “woo-wee-woo” backing and The Jordanaires’ classic harmonies. Though released on the 1957 album, “Blue Christmas” wasn’t issued as a commercial single until 1964, where it quickly became a hit. Its performance in the 1968 “Comeback Special” is the only known video footage of Elvis singing a Christmas song.

The flip side “Santa Claus is Back in Town” is a bluesy holiday track written for Elvis by legendary songwriting duo Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. The song delivered a new kind of Christmas spirit – one that was cool, rebellious, and unmistakably Elvis.

Together, these two tracks capture the spirit of a 1957 Christmas – a year that gave us Elvis’ first holiday album, his first Christmas at Graceland, and a musical legacy that still echoes every December.

"Blue Christmas/Santa Claus is Back In Town" is the third release in the limited-edition 10" collector's vinyl series exclusively available from Graceland. the first in the series, a 70th-anniversary celebration of Elvis' breakout hit "That's All Right" completely sold-out during pre-order, the second release, which commemorates the 65th anniversary of Elvis' triumphant return to the spotlight after two years of service in the U.S. Army is still available.

Another cash cow for EPE - $30 for a single that contains two tracks we must already have on various releases, with a shipping cost that is higher than the actual price of the record at $32. No thanks.

[The Baystar dude]

Just only $30… what a bargain. Where the hell does it go wrong?

It’s called "financial greed" and the only real way of stopping it is to boycott such expensive releases.

Do you know the quantity for the apparent limited edition. I see the second of their collector releases is still available.

[Bilbobaggins]

I have no idea... It's a limited edition but it isn't numbered as far as I know. I can see no indication whatsoever on the sleeve.

The first limited edition single (That's All Right) had a number of 1954 copies pressed. So that might be an indication...

Thanks - Did you get it. I can understand that selling well (presume it did) as it had some historical context. Not too sure about the second one or this one. I suspect numbers are around 2000 units. They had that number for their collector coloured albums, which seemed to sell out pretty quickly, but the last couple hung around a bit longer - the Sunset one was still available last week, but has now gone.

No, I did not get them. I think they are way overpriced. And all the vinyl I buy will be played, and I rarely play singles. I never keep a record sealed. If I would find one of these for, say, €10 I would buy it. But that'll never happen...
