Rhino's
reissue program was generally
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,
Il
Sogno, and
My Flame Burns Blue),
Lost Highway (
The
Delivery Man
and
Momofuku),
and Verve
Forecast (
The
River In Reverse).
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, standalone
Taking Liberties/
Out Of Our Idiot-style
"odds and
ends" collections, or in some other form entirely.
This
section is a work in progress.
