Two excellent soundtrack numbers released in England as a 45rpm.
"Party" is the familiar album version ("Party", version two, if you will, is not here). It's the real (before the "reel") raw Elvis, doing his '50s thing on the country-jump blues mixture, and it sounds as great as ever.
The flip is another exotic mix, the country-barrelhouse "Got Alot Of Livin' To Do", one of those numbers that can produce an instant lifetime E.P. fan.
But here's the surprising chaser: a previously unreleased version of "Got Alot...", to confirm the Extended Play status here. My research shows that Take 17 has never been pulled until now, and it's a smoker! I'll step up to the centerstage microphone and say it is definitely one of the best records Elvis Presley ever made.
You want the original rough-rockin'-rebel Elvis? - check this one out! And at a reasonable price!! Rock and Roll!!!
This is a re-issue of the UK single. Party was a big hit in the UK in 1957, reaching number 1 on the Melody Maker singles chart and number 2 on other UK singles charts. It's flip-side, Got A Lot of Livin To Do was also a hit in the UK peaking at 17. Neither song was released as a single in the US, however they were released on two hit EP's and the Loving You album. This is a nice collector's item.
