Elvis and Dianna: Across The Tracks

The EC&DK spotting continues:

In the UK, Decca records have released a new double CD of George Gershwin songs and music by "various" artists, and believe me, they don't come much more varied. The CD "The very best of George Gershwin" is notable for being (I think) the first release to feature Elvis and Diana together (albeit on separate tracks). Elvis gives us : "But Not For Me" and Diana performs "S' Wonderful". The EC track is likely the same as that which appeared on the 1994 "The Glory of Gershwin" release on Mercury (but I am sure a completist somewhere out there will tell us if it isn't).

Decca are using TV ads to promote the CD release which mention EC, but don't (I think) actually include any of his track. The CD is available to order now from Amazon in the UK (and elsewhere for all I know) for 14.99 pounds sterling.
