BILLBOARD DAILY MUSIC UPDATE
BMG Site To Sell Music From All Labels
BMG Entertainment, the parent of such labels as RCA and Arista, has quietly launched a Beta version of getmusic.com, a retail Web site that provides access to product from all labels. Billboard Bulletin reports that the site, which will go live with purchases in the next few weeks, is not identified as part of BMG, but the company's artists are featured prominently on the getmusic home page and are promoted with $2 discounts off the regular CD prices of $14.96 and $15.96.
The site, overseen by BMG Online GM Elizabeth Schimel, also promotes the BMG Visa credit card, offering points for purchases, and has links to the BMG genre sites Bugjuice, Peeps Republic, and Twang This! The site will offer more than 150,000 albums; featured acts include BMG artists such as the Dave Matthews Band, the Backstreet Boys, R. Kelly, and P.M. Dawn. Fulfillment will be by Valley Media.
Other labels' sites have retail components, but BMG is believed to be the first major to attempt a store with product from labels outside its corporate family, with the exception of record-club stores such as Columbia House's Total E. Unlike most online retailers, the site will ship only to the U.S. and its territories.

    CD Review (in Japanese, ”‹Œ´Œ’‘¾‚Ì‚b‚c•])

DENVER POST ONLINE
Oct. 11 - Here are capsule reviews of recent music releases:
"Tiger Man'' (RCA), a new Elvis Presley live album, but the circumstances are no less urgent. The year was 1968, and after years of making bad movies and worse sound-track albums, Presley was appearing live for the first time in seven years for an NBC-TV special.
The broadcast - featuring a trim, leather-suited Elvis - was widely hailed as a magnificent comeback, but Presley's performance at NBC's Burbank studios has never been issued in its entirety; seven of the 16 songs on "Tiger Man'' are previously unreleased.
The light-hearted set finds Presley wisecracking with his band, flubbing lyrics and spending an inordinate amount of time clearing his throat. But when he settles down to the business at hand, Presley growls his way through classics like "Heartbreak Hotel'' and "Baby What You Want Me to Do'' like a man who knows he has something to prove, and "One Night'' is charged with sweet salaciousness.

HE KING'S RECORD COLLECTION VOLS. I AND II (H I P - O)
BY MARK ATHITAKIS
Even at this late date, Elvis Presley remains one of popular culture's biggest mysteries. And, as any trip to a bookstore will tell you, mysteries are profitable: Whole forests have been felled in attempts to explain Elvis', well, Elvis-ness. Go ahead, pile on the evidence -- the records, the books, the photos, the videos -- but he becomes no less inscrutable, no less a protean character. He was a rocker, sure, but no rocker had Presley's penchant for syrupy, schmaltz-laden balladry. He was a captivating performer, but also the star of dozens of godawful, cheaply made films where he'd gurgle up tripe like "Queenie Wahini's Papaya." He was utterly charismatic, but also a man who succumbed to bloat and kitsch in his later years. It's easy to say that you like Elvis, but really, which Elvis is it that you like?
The two lovingly compiled discs that make up "The King's Record Collection" -- comprising 28 songs Presley would cover throughout his career -- don't make the Elvis Legacy any more straightforward; indeed, it just adds to the confusion. But in attempting to tease out some of Elvis' musical heroes, it provides a solid ground to start unknotting that bundle of contradictions. For anyone willing to start working those threads, Volume I is crucial listening, for it displays what Elvis was eager to change in his favorite music -- and, more interestingly, what he was afraid to tinker with. Compare Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup's "That's All Right, Mama" to Elvis' cataclysmic 1954 Sun Records version, and you hear the sound of a man who's impatient with the politeness of pure country; Crudup sounds earnest, while Presley oozes a sort of predatory sexuality, along with a deeper sense of swing. His tactic was much the same with his takes on bluegrass titan Bill Monroe's "Blue Moon of Kentucky," Wynonie Harris' "Good Rockin' Tonight" and the Shelton Brothers' "Just Because," pouncing on them with youthful fervor. And then, as solid proof of Elvis' talents as an arranger, there's his artful transformation of "Mystery Train," where he takes Little Junior Parker's simple blues ditty and turns it into a more mournful and ethereal creature.
While Presley seemed comfortable playing fast and loose with country, blues and early R&B, doo-wop apparently made him nervous; possibly figuring that there was little point in trying to outdo Clyde McPhatter, his takes on the Drifters' "Money Honey" and the Ink Spots' "That's When Your Heartaches Begin" aren't very different from the originals, more homages than interpretations. It's Big Mama Thornton's "Hound Dog," however, that stymies Presley. Elvis tried more than 30 takes of his own "Hound Dog" to get it right, and hearing Thornton's original, it's easy to understand why; it's an overwhelming, deep and ragged blues, supremely soulful, and even Presley's masterful pop take can't quite compete.
Volume I functions a both a solid compilation of postwar pop, blues, country and R&B and as a sort of skeleton key that allows you to approach Presley's sensibilities as a singer and musician. The more disappointing Volume II, with songs that Elvis would record after his stint in the Army, is a more schizophrenic creature. Part of the problem is that it's made up of songs Presley was fed by producers, as opposed to stuff he genuinely loved. Eddy Arnold's "You Don't Know Me," Roy Peterson's "The Wonder of You" and Chuck Willis' "I Feel So Bad" have the same hitbound pop sheen to them that Elvis' takes do. Still, revelations do crop up: Presley's sultry "Fever" is almost the precise opposite of the sophisticated cool of Little Willie John's original, and you can hear him strive for the beauty of the Orioles' gospel classic "Crying in the Chapel."
Still, no clear Elvis emerges from these songs (which, incidentally, are well annotated and remastered brilliantly). But at the very least, the first disc helps to clue the listener in to how much Elvis changed pop music, how he began to make it "rock." It doesn't clear up the rest of the enigmas that surrounded Presley's life, but it does uncover a small bit of what the young Elvis wanted to accomplish as a musician. The Jungle Room notwithstanding, Elvis Presley was a man of impeccable taste.
