Roger Semon (FTD) stated this morning that the vinyl releases of Blue Hawaii (April) and Standing Room Only (May) will be released as planned. That means orders reached the minimum 1500 units required.

This will be warmly welcomed by the Elvis collectors. Roger Semon: Yes, the vinyl will be available. Production is an education for me as it's taking so long. Hope to ship late March or early April. Best, Roger

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.
