>> Robert Gordon put a fist through the heart of the music industry with his 1977 hit Red Hot," knocking down disco queens, would-be punks, and new wave wannabes with his no-holds-barred take on hot-rodded rockabilly. Now, reunited with legendary guitar ace Chris Spedding for the first time in 20 years, Robert is back to spread the gospel and jolt the world again with It s Now Or Never.

For this adult-sized dose of wild rhythm they have gone directly to ground zero and have cherry-picked their favorite Elvis Presley tunes, just in time for the 30th anniversary of Elvis' death. To really shake things up, Robert and Chris are backed up by no less than Elvis' mighty Jordanaires! From rippers like Lawdy Miss Clawdy and My Baby Left Me through a stirring reading of Peace In the Valley, It s Now Or Never mines the depths of Elvis oeuvre without the smack of ironic revisionism that has been the hallmark of lesser talents.

Still bucking trends with his slicked-back hair and switchblade attack, Robert has cut through the tenor of these troubled times with another gut-level, no-frills rock'n'roll record guaranteed to get everyone gyrating like The King himself. Get ready to have a blast... "It's now or never," baby! <<

Soupy Sales - great avatar!

I have a few of his vinyl LPs from the early sixties and the Rhino CD comp.

I also have a vinyl LP from the early 80's. I purchased it at Cutlers in New Haven (in the middle of Yale University). There was no price mrked on it. I get in a long line. Wait. Get to the cashier, I start to ask how much it "there is no price on this can you please tell me how much it is?" The guy behind he says "It's priceless" Everyone laughed. I was never so embaressed buying a record before or since.

Still he had a great children's show (adults too) next to Chuck McCann, Officer Joe Bolton, Captain Jack and Zacherle.

Listening to this right now. Despite the impressive array of talent on display, Gordon apes Elvis's vocals so slavishly, and the arrangements are so close, that I don't know why I'd want to play this more than a couple times, instead of the real thing. Call it the Beatlemania Syndrome.
