On August 31, 1956 RCA Victor released eight singles in one swoop. Besides "Shake, Rattle & Roll" / "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" the label also issued all tracks of the album "Elvis Presley". The most successful one was "Blue Suede Shoes" / "Tutti Frutti", which didn't chart but sold more than a million copies in the US and was certified Platinum by the RIAA. The other ones didn't even came close to this number, but nevertheless the label sold several 100,000 units of each single.

The single is not available on the streaming platforms since the tracks can be found on the album "Elvis Presley". In 2016 the complete Presley catalogue was restored and remastered by Vic Anesini for a boxed set of 60 compact discs called "The Album Collection". Sony Music Entertainment provides the streaming platforms with the same versions of the individual tracks, albeit in 24 bit/90 khz flac. That means, if the platform of your choice supports high resolution audio, you can enjoy the songs in the same quality Sony used to scan and master them. On Spotify, which has a market share of approximately 30% and is the only platform that publishes streaming figures, "I'll Never Let You Go (Little Darlin')" accumulates 3 million streams, "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Cry (Over You)" clocks in at 9 million.

The records were sold in simple brown paper sleeves, nobody bothered to design proper covers. The whole idea was to generate some extra money by releasing the tracks in another format. 

 The ballad was penned by Jimmy Wakely, Elvis recorded it in September 1954 at SUN Records in Memphis/Tennessee. He sings very emotional and the echo effect creates a great atmosphere, but somehow the song doesn't work for me. Maybe it's Elvis voice, maybe the lack of technique. I don't know.

Anno 1956 Roy Hamilton released "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Cry (Over You)", Elvis recorded the song on January 31, 1956 at the RCA studio in New York. The young singer worked hard on the tune and needed 18 attempts to archive a master. In the song, written by Joe Thomas and Howard Biggs, the singer announces to descend into misery if his big love ever leaves him, but he does it in form of a happy uptempo popsong. In later years the song was also covered by Del Shannon, Shakin' Stevens and The Beatles.
