Kissin' Cousins 60th Anniversary Edition - Infinity Records

 Kissin' Cousins 60th Anniversary Edition - Infinity Records

The Infinity import record label released the follow up to the 'Roustabout - 60th Anniversary' CD: 'Kissin' Cousins - 60th Anniversary Edition'. 

At Infinity Records, we are proud to present a limited 2-CD edition of the 'Kissin' Cousins' soundtrack to celebrate the incredible talent involved in these sessions. Often overlooked, the music features members of the legendary Nashville A-Team, along with long-time contributors to Elvis's sound, including Scotty Moore, D.J. Fontana, and the sensational Boots Randolph.

These discs contain rare, previously unreleased RCA masters in both stereo and mono, making them a must-hear for fans! The sound quality is exceptional, prompting curiosity as to why these tracks were discarded. Don’t miss the stunning 'Anyone (Could Fall in Love With You)' and the lively 'Smoky Mountain Boy', among other highlights. 

Additionally, we've included a selection of movie outtakes featuring rare and unreleased movie masters sourced from acetate and "track" recordings intended for Elvis's vocal overdubs. This collection showcases the extraordinary work of the musicians, along with a demo of 'Kissin' Cousins' by Malcolm Dodd, complemented by the session of 'Echoes of Love'.

Despite a dip in material quality, 'Kissin' Cousins', still achieved a respectable No. 11 spot on the Variety National Box Office Chart, while its soundtrack reached No. 6 on the Billboard Top LPs Chart.
