One of three “Embassy Story” CD’s compiled and digitally remastered by Darrel Higham for the Pink ’n’ Black label and is available through specialist internet sites such as www.bim-bam.com .   It is well worth seeking out this physical CD because it comes with an excellent 12-page booklet, crammed full of facts and photos meticulously researched and put together by Darrel.

Despite being born years after the last Embassy session took place, Darrel is a great Embassy afficionado - even to the extent of naming his recording studio “Embassy Studios”.  He is also one of Britain’s very best rockabilly guitarists and band leaders and is the husband of the great Imelda May.

This album contains 30 Embassy tracks covering Elvis hits ranging from 1957 through to 1964 sung by Mike Sammes (on 1 track), Neville Taylor (2), Rikki Henderson (9), Paul Rich (2), Johnny Worth (3), Ken Barrie (4), and Mike Redway (1).... plus Ray Pilgrim (8), singing on: 11, 12, 16, 18, 19, 20, 28 and 29.

Embassy stalwart, Paul Rich, was also the head of Elvis Presley’s music publishing company in the UK and used to send copies of all Embassy covers of Elvis material to the King himself!
