Brief History : Love Me Tender the title of the first movie Elvis made. The movie was originally named "The Reno Brothers", but once Elvis was drafted in to act in it, the title was changed to suit Colonel Tom Parker to get Elvis as much billing as possible. Love Me Tender was recorded August 24th ,1956 at 20th Century Fox Studios, Hollywood. It was not due for release for another couple of months after recording it, but with advanced sales nearing 1 million orders, RCA rushed released it along side the excellent double sided Hound Dog & Don't Be Cruel that was still selling well. Fearing less sales for the latter, need not have worried anyone as Elvis was so strong now his record sales were excellent for both releases.
The flip side Anyway You Want Me was recorded July 2nd, 1956 at RCA Studios, New York. This release was only the second time RCA released an Elvis 45 with a sleeve.
