''Raised on Rock/For Ol' Times Sake''〔Discogs, ( Elvis Presley – Raised On Rock / For Ol' Times Sake ); includes photos of the original label, showing full title.〕 is a studio album by Elvis Presley released in 1973. Along with the album ''Elvis'', it was released after the massive success of ''Aloha From Hawaii'' (although the entire ''Elvis'' album contained material recorded ''before'' the ''Aloha'' show). The album, which sold over one million copies worldwide, was recorded at Stax Studios in Memphis, Tennessee in July 1973 and at Presley's home in Palm Springs, California in September 1973. Two songs from these sessions would be retained for release on the ''Good Times'' album the following spring. The initial vocal tracks were recorded in July 1973. "Raised on Rock" backed by "For Ol' Times Sake" was the only single released from the album, reaching #41 on the Billboard chart and #42 on the Country chart in September 1973. The album was one of the few that failed to chart in the United Kingdom, but the single "Raised on Rock" / "For Ol' Times Sake" did enter the British charts. Some of the songs are well known covers like "Are You Sincere" which had been around for many years, but some new songs like the lead off single were written for Presley, or written by writers he had previously recorded, such as Mark James. The title single, "Raised on Rock," has been noted by historians such as Roy Carr and Mick Farren in ''Elvis: The Illustrated Record'' as odd lyrically, as Presley sings in first person about being a child and discovering rock and roll through records such as "Johnny B. Goode" when Presley was a contemporary of the artists he cites. In 1979, a stripped down version of "Are You Sincere" was included on the album ''Our Memories of Elvis'' and released as a single, reaching #10 on the Billboard country chart. In 2007 ''Raised on Rock'' was reissued on the Follow That Dream label in a special 2-disc edition that contained the original album tracks along with numerous alternate takes.〔Sources: * *〕 ==Track listing== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Raised on Rock/For Ol' Times Sake」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
