Day 9 – 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway

December 17th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

As I’ve mentioned, I’m hosting a “musical” 12-Days of Christmas Giveaway. Today (Dec. 17) is day 9. Click on the Day 0 button in the widget below and then leave a comment below why you want to win the prize of the day.

Today’s prize is a boxed set of Elvis Presley music – a glittering collection fit for a king. To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the birth of Elvis Aaron Presley, Elvis 75 – Good Rockin’ Tonight is the definitive retrospective, a remastered Hot 100 of Elvis classics in one beautifully-packaged four-CD boxed set.

Spanning the breadth of Presley’s monumental, rags-to-riches career, Elvis 75 – Good Rockin’ Tonight presents an artist who exploded in the mid-1950s, when he shook up a buttoned-down world with his mold-breaking music, not to mention his sideburns, swiveling hips, flamboyant wardrobe, and raw sexuality. Until his death at 42 in 1977, he would move from rockabilly, rhythm and blues, bluegrass, and rock ‘n’ roll to country, pop, gospel, and even to light operatic fare to become one of the greatest and most-beloved entertainers the world has ever known. He would also sell several hundred million records.

This set can be purchased here for $43.99, but one lucky Lipstick to Crayons reader can win the one for free by leaving comment below. Hurry — this contest closes at 11:59 p.m. Central Dec. 17.

This contest is closed. Congrat to Dean, comment #24.

    If I Can Dream, A Fool Such As I must Follow That Dream where Fools Rush In. So, It’s Now Or Never, because It Won’t Seem Like Christmas if I’m All Shook Up with Mean Woman Blues and my Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain. I hope I’ve got Got My Mojo Working so that I can avoid a Blue Christmas, so please, Don’t Be Cruel and Don’t Forbid Me.
