Today in history

March 24, 1958

Accompanied by Anita and his parents Elvis reported to the draft board at 6.35 a.m. Elvis was assigned serial number 53 310 761 and after his physical he was put in charge of the group, which would be taking an army bus to Fort Chaffee, Arkansas.

Song of the day

Rags to Riches

I just listened to, or it's better to say that I compared to versions of this song. But the point is that they were supposed to be the same MASTER version. I had a file on my computer and I'm not 100% sure where it came from, but I think it came from the 3 disc version of That's The Way It Is. And today I compared it to the version found on FTD Love Letters. And I was surprised to hear that they are different. The FTD-version has some kind of dramatic "drums" (I can't remember what they are called right now) during the powerful piano intro. And suddenly when the second verse starts someone is backing him up! Which is the correct version? Was the one I had from before just an undubbed master or did they find a strange/new version for the FTD release? By the way, I love how powerful the song is. Saw someone compare it to "Hurt", spot on!
