CD & DVD Set Of The Legendary 1985 UK TV Special Celebrating The 30th Anniversary Of The World-Renowned Track. Featuring Carl Perkins With George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Dave Edmunds, Slim Jim Phantom, Lee Rocker, Earl Slick & Rosanne Cash. Written in October 1955 and released in January 1956, "Blue Suede Shoes" was an instant classic earning a place in the history books when it became the first million-seller to crossover from the Country chart to the Pop and R&B listings. Swiftly covered by Elvis Presley and later The Beatles, song remains a RocknRoll anthem. Fitting then that Carl Perkins, man who wrote and first performed Blue Suede Shoes, should be accorded a television special to celebrate its 30th anniversary. On 21st October 1985 at Londons Limehouse Studios a superstar cast of friends and fans joined Carl Perkins to record a TV special celebrating his career and the classic songs that he had recorded during it. Perkins was joined on stage by George Harrison and Eric Clapton along with other stars including Dave Edmunds, Slim Jim Phantom and Lee (Stray Cats) Rocker plus Earl Slick and singer Rosanne Cash, daughter of the legendary Johnny Cash. George Harrison struck up a lasting friendship with Perkins and much of the continued interest in the programme lies in the prominent role played by Harrison. The former Beatle takes lead vocal on several tracks as well as playing guitar and having a great time. The Beatles connection is even stronger in that Harrison is joined by former colleague Ringo Starr with the show representing their first reunion gig since the mid-1970s This CD/DVD captures the whole concert, both as an audio and visual experience with Carl Perkins and the All-Star band performing Perkins finest songs which also include "Thats Alright Mama" and "Whole Lotta Shakin Going On", plus the DVD includes short interviews with Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison & Jerry Lee Lewis interviews discussing the importance and influence of Carl Perkins.
