An update on the much anticipated Sun Book and CD set - Ernst Jorgensen says it is 'still quite a bit away'.

With the Sun book Ernst tells says 'there are still a lot of corrections to be made'. As everyone knows this has been a project he has been working on for several years and it is obviously extra special to him and getting everything right is important. David Troedson : Believe me as someone who has had the privilege to produce a CD for Sony it is amazing how you can pick up a mistake every time you re-read just liner notes for a CD release. Over and over again. Our brains tell us what we know it should say sometimes, an example is where you can re-arrange letters in a word and still read it. So take that to a massive book and one that needs to be historically and technically correct and you have a huge headache just in the proof reading.

Also at this time the 'Young Man With The Big Beat' is Sonys priority and it would not be ideal to put two fairly pricey sets up competing with each other at the same time. Plus they have the other two book projects mentioned above, 'Fashion For A King; and 'Spring of '56' at this time. With 'Spring of '56' author Michael Rose is also putting together a book with FTD. Photographs from the Detroit, MI. Fox Theater May 25, 1956 show Elvis in and around the Fox Theatre, greeting Detroit Times contest winners backstage, relaxing in a downtown arcade and enjoying himself at an adult party. And they are currently researching that.

The Complete Louisiana Hayride Archives 1954-1956 CD From MRS : CD / 100 page book

The MRS / JAT Productions release of The Complete Louisiana Hayride Archives 1954-1956 CD is a dream come true but I can't as there was no anticipation something like this would ever be released. For years now we have had the basic el cheapo compilation of the basic tracks but now we have a full CD with a running time of over 75 minutes that gives a very good overview of Elvis in concert in the 1950s. This CD is presented exactly the same as the MRS releases Off Duty With Private Presley Book Deluxe CD set, Tupelo Welcomes Home Elvis Presley Deluxe CD set and Such A Night in Pearl Harbor CD and 100 page Book set.

Video Preview: Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD + 16 page booklet. Never before have we seen an Elvis concert from the 50'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. 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.
