Sound samples

In the first sample below we have a back to back comparison of Little Mama : First up is 23 seconds of the version from the FTD box set, A Boy From Tupelo, then a fade and into 38 seconds of the remastered MRS version. You will be able to hear a very clear improvement. Then we have audio comparisons of the new song, I Forgot To Remember To Forget, speed corrected and with a clever overdub of Bill Black's playing from the original studio master to give the song an extra boost : here it sounds great, on a proper hi-fi, unbelievable.

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.
