(PR) To commemorate the 30th Anniversary of Elvis Presley's death (16th August, 1977), Sony BMG Music Entertainment will celebrate his outstanding contribution to popular music with a triumphant return to the U.K. singles chart. Following the huge success of 2005's 18 No.1 Singles Campaign, Sony BMG Music Entertainment will offer fans the opportunity to collect singles week by week to build the 'Elvis The King' singles boxset.

Each classic single will be released in a limited edition numbered CD and 10" vinyl format, beautifully packaged utilising the original U.S. and U.K. sleeve and label artwork. They will also be available as digital download singles for the first time.

2005 saw Elvis return to glory during a four month onslaught on the U.K. singles chart, creating 3 new No.1's, and 14 Top 5 singles, however seminal tracks such as 'Suspicious Minds', 'Heartbreak Hotel' and 'Blue Suede Shoes' didn't qualify for re-release as they failed to hit the No.1 spot first time around. 2007's 'Elvis The King' 18 singles campaign will deliver the 'ultimate' collector's dream; comprising of the most popular, loved and celebrated Elvis tracks sure to delight fans young and old.

In addition to the release of the first of the Elvis The King singles on 13th August, Sony BMG Music Entertainment will also release 'Elvis The King': a 2-disc CD companion album. Thirty years on since Elvis Presley's tragic death, this comprehensive collection of 50 stand out tracks including No.1's from 2005's 18 singles campaign , will remind many that he was the King for a very good reason.
