Elvis/Eurythmics
One of Elvis' more obscure guest appearances gets a new lease of life with the upcoming re-issue of the Eurythmics back catalogue. This new edition of Be Yourself Tonight - from 1985 - features a guest harmony vocal from Elvis on the song Adrian. This would appear to be only the second time - after the 1990 issuing of the Eurythmics catalogue on CD - this song has appeared on CD , doubtlessly in much improved sound.
'Net sources say the album has accumulated 13 million sales over the years so this appearance may count as one biggest selling releases that Elvis has been invloved with.
I seem to remember contempoary accounts quoting Ms Lennox saying how Elvis had turned up at the recording session - in Paris , I think - with his famous black book of lyrics . However , I see that the song is credited to Lennox/Stewart. However the lyric does feature classic Costello wordplay - 'new clear' / nuclear , for instance - hinting that he did actually contribute or the song was crafted with him in mind
