Baby Let's Play House - DJ Spankox remix version
S_...@hotmail.co.uk
the best opportunity for a little-known Elvis song to be become more
popular. Would anyone know the official (physical )release date for
the single in the UK?
Thanks

This - which you probably already know - is what EIN had to say:
>Elvis Number One! - 'Baby Let's Play House' remix hits #1 in Italy: Elvis Presley fans send new historic remix of 'Baby Let's Play House' to number 1 in the iTunes Top Singles chart in Italy. The brand new Elvis remixed song, available for download exclusively from iTunes, has reached today the number one spot of Apple's digital online store, knocking down Jovanotti's hit "Fango". At number three in the chart sits Alicia Keys' 'No One.' Elvis entered the iTunes chart three weeks ago and climbed to the top thanks to new and old fans that downloaded the song from the store after the news of this new remixed song by contemporary DJ/producer Spankox started to circulate on the Internet and on the press. Spankox (real name Agostino Carollo) is an Italian, Verona based J/producer/composer who has also recently remixed tracks for Roxette, Snap! and Vasco Rossi (Italy's no.1 rockstar) amongst others.
>Italy's number one radio network Radio Deejay has been giving airplay to the track since two weeks ago, bringing first the song to the masses and boosting the downloads. "This new remix by Spankox is much nicer than JXL's remix of A Little Less Conversation" - said Radio Deejay's famous dj-musician Nikki, "because it respects more the feel of the original song". The 'Baby Let's Play House (Spankox Remix) is also available for download in Canada, Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Spain, Holland, Belgium and UK where it's already very popular. "The Spankox Re:Version of Baby Let's Play House will deliver Elvis to a new generation of music fans in an unexpected, cool and compelling way," said Marketing Manager Edward Johnson. After the digital release, the physical release of the record set for January 8th to celebrate Elvis' birthday, will be on a brand new media called VinylCD, a special compact disc playable on a normal CD player but also by a traditional turntable.
Amazon has no listing that I can see, and neither do HMV.
Do you think 'Spankox' is his real name? There's something vaguely
perverted about it.

Don't think that the majority of Italians listen to Rossi because they
do not.
Opera and Classical Music are still the most popular form of music in
Italy.

Are you all in favour of such remixes? I for one can do without them.
The "A Little Less Conversation" thing was praised by most. Also by some of
the same people who run down Felton Jarvis' remixes in 1980 (I think it
was).

I never liked it myself and what I hated most was people coming up to me in
work and saying "you should hear Elvis' latest release".
How little these newbies know.

No, I'd rather they didn't exist. I always say that the Felton Jarvis
thing was a lot more excusable, precisely because it was Felton, but I
suppose in reality one is no better or worse than the other. At least
Felton was only putting on a new backing track, and not overdubbing
'beats' or whatever. That's what really pisses me off, the whole idea
that they're trying to turn the songs into something they aren't, like
there's no way Elvis can be enjoyable unless it's re-done as a club
track.
