Story & Background
"Paralyzed" holds a unique position in Elvis's discography, especially for British collectors. Contrary to its inclusion as an album track in the United States, on the LP *Elvis*, HMV (His Master's Voice) had the foresight to release it as a 78 RPM single in March 1957. This choice demonstrated the label's deep understanding of the British music market, often diverging from RCA's strategies in America. The track itself, a soul-blues ballad, highlighted a more melodic and versatile side of the King, beyond the rawer rockabilly. Its 78 RPM release in 1957 marks a crucial transitional period for the format, a valuable historical artefact documenting HMV's foresight in consolidating Elvis's myth overseas.
