Rhino's reissue program has generally
been limited to material from Elvis' first two decades as a recording
artist, ending with his departure from Warner Bros. Records in late 1997.
In 1998 Elvis signed a new deal with Polygram, which soon merged with
Universal. Elvis' subsequent work has appeared on a variety of
Universal-owned labels, including Mercury (
Painted From Memory), Island (
When I Was Cruel
and
Cruel Smile), Deutsche
Grammophon (
North,
For The Stars, and
Il Sogno), and Lost Highway (
The Delivery Man).
As usual, Elvis has released quite a few songs in places other than his
regular albums — non-album B-sides, new recordings on movie soundtracks,
and collaborations with other artists on their albums. In addition, most
of Elvis' recent albums have been released either with bonus tracks
available only in certain territories or as an expanded two-disc edition
issued months after the album's initial release.
This section is intended to catalog all of these "extra" tracks and
unreleased recordings from 1998 to the present. I expect much of this
material to be repackaged in the future, whether as Rhino-style bonus
discs, stand-alone
Taking Liberties/
Out Of Our Idiot-style "odds and
ends" collections, or in some other form entirely.
This section is a work in progress.
I hope to add pages for
For The Stars,
North, and
The Delivery Man as soon as possible.
