That's The Way It Is + The Way It Was Tracklisting / Cover Art

We have received the tracklisting and cover art for FTD's two CD releases due out in April. FTD will release a 2 CD version of That's The Way It Is in their Classic album series (7" digipack with booklet) and The Way It Was, a re-release the CD originally included in the 'The Way It Was' book. This will be a regular 5" CD.

Replacement Packaging for the FTD will release Wild In The Country.

Due to an incorrect quark file being used by the manufacturer of FTDs CDs, the name 'Presley' has been spelt wrong (Presely) on the spine of the original pressing of Wild In The Country. You can now order the corrected sleeve. This is at no charge however;

Please note: The weight of this item is calculated by the shopping cart. If ordered with on it's own - postage equivelant to one normal 7" FTD CD will be charged. ($4 Australia, $10 International) If ordered with only one other item it will cost some extra postage. If ordered with two or more FTD CDs it will not add any extra cost to the postage.

We do not know at this time if this is a once off opportunity to order the replacement sleeve but we believe it is as FTD have requested we place an order for the required number.

Elvis Presley Video Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD

Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.

This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.

The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
