Review : Elvis Presley's Memphis Book

Filled with truly rare documents and photos, including one of Elvis visiting his mother's grave, 'Elvis Presley's Memphis' is a standout among the many printed works about this often misunderstood man.

Review: Elvis On Tour Blu-Ray & DVD Releases

Elvis On Tour is a complete package of sight and sound, entertainment value, and historical relevance. Not only does it make for an exceptional companion piece for serious Elvis aficionados, but it's also a fantastic starting point for music lovers just now discovering the music and the man behind, arguably, the entertainment industry's most important figure of all time. The disc sports a seemingly faithful 1080p transfer and a lossless soundtrack that does all it can with the natural elements. Recommended.

Undervalued Classics: Michael Curtiz’s 'King Creole' (1958)

'King Creole' is a really expertly directed film by a very old pro. The cast is especially good and it is to their credit that 'King Creole' doesn't feel nearly as dated as many other 'youth' pictures from this period.

Review: Elvis Presley Special Edition FTD 2 CD Set

Elvis Presley's self-titled first LP is unarguably one of the most important albums in rock history. Not only is it the first album by the genre's most successful and influential figure, but it is also the first genuine smash LP of the rock era. Its success in the spring and summer of 1956 would signal that it would be the long player and not the single that would come to dominate the sixties and onwards.

Review : Return of the King: Elvis Presley's Great Comeback Book

Return Of The King is a well written and researched effort by Gaar, that also contains just enough new information to qualify as a welcome addition to any Elvis fan's library. It is also one of the more engrossing reads about Elvis' 'comeback years' to come down the pike in awhile.

Review - Elvis Now FTD Special Edition 2 CD Set

Perhaps the best part of FTD's 'Elvis Now' is that every song sounds better than it ever has before. If you love Elvis in the 1969 - 1971 era represented by this album and care about audio quality, you will be thrilled with these sound upgrades - particularly on the master takes. Kudos to FTD for much improvement in this area over the years. 'Elvis Now' is a different kind of listening experience than that of From Elvis In Memphis or That's The Way It Is. While those two albums are monumental, their greatness should not take away from the understated achievement that Elvis Now represents. Buy Elvis Now. Now!

Review - Good Times FTD CD

FTD's version of Good Times turns out to be a fine upgrade of the original album, truly capturing the spirit of a collectors label by bringing the original cuts together in pristine sound quality along with tons of additional takes. Ten years in, FTD seems to have hit its stride, and its Classic Album series has become essential.

Review: How Great Thou Art - FTD Special Edition 2 CD Set

About two weeks after meeting The Beatles, Elvis finally decided on recording a gospel album. He wanted everyone to know that 'there's more to me than a lot of people might think'. Increasingly dissatisfied with the direction his career was taking, Elvis wanted to express himself creatively in new ways.

Review - Elvis - The King Of Las Vegas Book

Having received the photo book Elvis - The King Of Las Vegas, all of 5 pounds (2.3 kg) and 25cm (10") x 30cm (12") of it, I can say I am just amazed, stunned, I went through it page by page, got to the end, and did it all over again, and there are 360 pages! This is without doubt the best Elvis Presley photo book I have seen. It covers in great style, Elvis' life in Las Vegas from 1956 to 1976 in pictures.

Review - I Sing All Kinds The Nashville 1971 Sessions CD

I Sing All Kinds is a marvelous release that makes for rewarding listening. The song selection and order works well ... we in effect get Elvis' greatest songs of 1971 on one album, and what an album it turns out to be! Sometimes living a long life has its rewards. Living to see this superb FTD album is surely one of them. Shorn of the intrusive post production dubs, orchestration and background harmonies of the original releases, and given some inspired sound mixing, the songs on this FTD release are a joy to listen to.

Some Surprises on Elvis Presley Sings The Great British Songbook 2 CD

The Elvis Presley Sings The Great British Songbook 2 CD provides some surprises amongst a unique track listing. The album features songs that were written by some of Britain's greatest songwriters however the use of live soundboard as well as RCA live stereo recordings makes this surprisingly essential listening.
The set contains several 'rare' soundboard and stereo concert recordings.

Review - Blue Hawaii FTD CD

Blue Hawaii is rightfully placed at the top of the Elvis Presley movie list. Both the soundtrack and film are truly essential Elvis. They both represent the Elvis that we would like to remember. Another fabulous soundtrack release from FTD, The alternate 'album' of First Takes works extremely well and the packaging is very stylish. The newly remixed audio quality is astounding - especially on the outtakes. With this release FTD corrects the error with the 1997 issued CD where they incorrectly reversed the stereo channels.

Elvis Hits Jackpot In Vegas : On Stage CD Review

Presley's first two engagements in Las Vegas yielded good results. He was excited about performing again, and his vocals - deeper, moodier and more nuanced than the gyrating dynamo of mid-1950s - were at a peak as he hit 35 in 1970. His songs and albums were charting high; he was on top again.

Review: On Stage: Legacy Edition 2 CD Set

The On Stage: Legacy Edition 2 CD Set gives the King's best live albums gets the royal treatment. Superb packaging, original cover art work, a nice booklet with interesting liner notes, pictures and memorabilia, pristine sound quality, ten bonus tracks and, best of all, Elvis Presley at the peak of his powers. Bonus tracks include a rehearsal take of 'The Wonder of You' - listen for Presley's scatological lyric shift early in the song.

Review - Elvis: Wild In The Country FTD CD

Personally I have always reckoned that Elvis was at the top of his vocal powers in AD 1960. He had superb vocal control and exceptional range and he had improved vocally at least from the rawness (albeit a very very appealing rawness) of the 1950's. This is a tremendous collection of stunning ballads and the rocking 'I slipped I stumbled I fell'. The outtakes are interesting and I haven't got tired of listening to 27 versions of 5 songs. Interestingly 'Husky Dusky Day' also appears and though very short (50 seconds) it is quite an amusing little ditty sung in duet with the lovely Hope Lang. One of the best FTD releases by far!

Review: Elvis The Movie Starring Kurt Russell

As commemorations of the 75th anniversary of the birth of Elvis Presley continue, Shout! Factory on March 2 will release 'Elvis', marking the first time that the well-regarded television miniseries has been available on DVD.

Video Preview: Elvis The Movie

Made in 1979, just two years after Presley's death, 'Elvis' is a high-class exercise in hagiography, presenting the musical legend as his fans would want to remember him.

Cirque Du Soleil's 'Viva Elvis' Outfabs Beatles

'Viva Elvis', Cirque du Soleil's seventh (!) current show in Sin City, should be an unfettered hit. With the production's successfully bold musical choices and its sheer size and spectacle, the new Aria Resort & Casino can rest easy that folks from all over will seek an audience with the King. 'Viva Elvis' is a winner ...

'Listening to these CDs, it's obvious why he was such a huge success and is still adored. Elvis's sound was a blueprint for what would come later, built on a base of Delta blues and hip-shaking gospel. Elvis changed everything: sex, politics and especially music'.

Review: Elvis 75: Good Rockin Tonight 100 Track 4 CD - Career Retrospective Box Set

Elvis 75: Good Rockin' Tonight is packaged in a sturdy black box that contains an 80-page booklet with lots of iconic photographs. More importantly, the sound quality is first rate. The songs sound bright and shiny, the way this kind of pop music should be. One can hear every nuance of the King's voice, whether he's hitting a low note, sighing into the microphone, or reaching back for operatic effect.

Alanna's Trash: Baby, baby, baby ... let me give you a warning ...

Review - Elvis 75: Good Rockin' Tonight, First Definitive 4-CD Overview of Entire Recording Career

Everything has been digitally remastered which has given it a crystal-clear sound. In addition there is an 80-page booklet which includes a 7,000-word essay by Billy Altman, rare photos, and copious information on every track. Elvis 75 may not be for everyone but it is a fine addition to the Elvis Presley legacy. If you have avoided his box sets in the past or are a fan who must have everything then this is a must purchase.

Review: Elvis On Tour - The Rehearsals FTD CD

There have been a lot of 'rehearsal' Elvis CDs to come out, but this one, apropriatly titled, Elvis On Tour - The Rehearsals is by far the best. First of all, it almost sounds like a studio album. The songs are mostly complete without a bunch of mistakes and a do-overs and most sound really great. There isn't any joking around, each track pretty much jumps strait to the next song.

Review: Made In Memphis FTD CD

The Made In Memphis FTD CD is another in an extended string of vault excavations from Elvis Presley's apparently inexhaustible library of alternate, unused, and unfinished takes, to be issued by the custom label Follow That Dream through RCA-BMG. For starters, as with many of the unused takes, because there's been no dubbing or the loss of even a single generation, you get a much closer sound than on most of Elvis' released recordings, even the properly remastered editions.

Review - Spinout FTD CD

Spinout! This is a great album, a wonderful listening experience. From the classic title track and the lovely ballads such as 'Am I Ready' and 'All That I Am' to the great rock numbers 'Never Say Yes' and 'I'll Be Back' there appears to be something for everybody in this package. 'Never Say Yes' is a wonderful song and is even more enjoyable when heard on its out-take forms and alos do treat yourself to the out-take of the ballad 'Am I Ready', you will find it fuller and, even it is hard to admit, better than the original take on many levels.

Review : Clambake FTD CD

Follow That Dream records, the collectors division of RCA have done it again with another superb re-packaging in their latest series of original LP re-issues. Turning their attention to the 1967 'Clambake' movie soundtrack. Not a classic film by any accounts, it came from a very low period in Elvis' movie career, probably the lowest in fact as Elvis became physically ill during production and sruggled to motivate himself for this one.

Review - Elvis: New Haven '76 FTD CD by Geoffrey Mc Donnell

The 'bonus' track is THE performance highlight from his Hampton Roads show two days later (by which time he had the Flu!) thankfully it's a reasonably performed 'request' for the 'Return To Sender' fan Club and I'm sure they must have been delighted. I recommend this CD because the performance is just passable from a dreadful tour and the sound balance is impressive in its clarity - far easier on the ears than listening to FTD America. I'll certainly be playing this New Haven '76 CD a few times before I stack it away on the shelf.

A Mini (Pre Release Review) Elvis Presley: 50 Australian Top Ten Hits 1956-1977

I have just been listening to two CDR copies (Disc 1 and 2), made directly from the Sony master for Elvis Presley: 50 Australian Top Ten Hits 1956-1977, and they sound fantastic. Not just the songs themselves, not just the quality, but to hear each track in the order that they charted, and then getting into the 60s all of a sudden a 50s recording comes on and it's just magic!!!

Elvis Presley: Gladiators -- A DVD review by Geoffrey Mc Donnell

This is the long awaited DVD officially released by Elvis Presley Enterprises. After watching this I found it 'worthwhile' and in understanding Elvis an essential purchase, especially when you understand the man studied several styles for two decades and took it VERY seriously from 1960-1974.

Review - Elvis: Vegas '69 Hardcover Book

Elvis: Vegas '69 is a quality hardcover book and is without doubt the best book on Elvis Presley produced to-date ... And it is something altogether new .... It is not a photo book ... It is not an information book ... It is not an interview book. Yes it has all three elements - and in abundance - but the way it is formatted -- presented -- is completely new, refreshing, easy to read or just to flick though - (when time is limited) - and enjoy some great photos of Elvis, or read some quotes taken from the many interviews Ken has conducted.

Review - Elvis 1957 Book (Elvis In Gold)

Elvis In Gold does start with it's first chapter showcasing Elvis posing for photos in his new Gold lame' suit -- including one with the suit's creator Nudie Cohen -- and gives us text with the story of the suit. But after these first pages, the book can be said to be a photo book of Elvis in 1957. And a high quality hardcover one at that! Not 100% essential but this is one book that will definitely be finding a home on my bookshelf.

Review - From Elvis In Memphis Legacy Edition CD set by Tygrrius

When I first heard about the Legacy Edition of From Elvis In Memphis, now upgraded to include Back In Memphis and all of the other songs from the sessions, I was not planning to buy it. As much as I loved them, I had bought these songs countless times over. Then, a new press release announced that From Elvis In Memphis - Legacy Edition was going to include the original mono versions of all of the singles. There, Sony/RCA had hooked me -- I played the mono singles first on Disc 2, and once I heard the quality of their sound, I could hardly wait to go back to Disc 1 and play From Elvis In Memphis proper. I don't know what Sony/RCA did differently this time, but they finally got rid of that sort of muffled sound some of the Memphis tracks had before. Crystal clear. I'm loving this release! What a great surprise!

This is the story : A Review of 'From Elvis in Memphis' Legacy Edition

It seems like every great artist has at least one album in their catalogue that is universally ignored due to the greatness of the album that proceeded it. Finally that is all changed on this Legacy Edition. History has placed the ten tracks on 'Back In Memphis' as near outtakes to the great 'From Elvis In Memphis' sides but a closer inspection not only reveals ten great tracks but one of the most cohesive records Elvis ever delivered.

Review : The Wonder of You FTD CD

Experiencing relatively complete shows like this one, when Elvis was in top form, means a lot to me. This is FTD's best concert release to date, and I'll be enjoying this show for years to come.

Review : From Elvis In Memphis

Patrick Trevellyan, rock music critic for The Examiner offers his take on Elvis' iconic album, From Elvis In Memphis, ahead of its 40th anniversary commemorative release. From Elvis in Memphis was released to wide critical acclaim and has since gone on to be known as one of, if not the best, album of Elvis' career. In 2003, Rolling Stone named it No. 190 on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of Rock and Roll. This album is a testament to why Elvis Presley was and always will be the King of Rock and Roll.

Review : I Believe - The Gospel Masters 4 CD Set

Elvis Presley's greatest gospel songs included on one stunning collection: I Believe - The Gospel Masters 4-CD. The rock 'n' roll King's first musical love was gospel when attending church with his mother Gladys. Sony Music have struck gold with this release which comes well annotated with photos and text, plus eco-friendly packaging. It features all of his multi-platinum albums Peace In The Valley, His Hand In Mine, How Great Thou Art and He Touched Me, plus bonus songs from his movies with every selection remastered from the original master tapes via the newest engineering process called DSD. Whatever this means, if you've ever heard the originals, these are much cleaner, yet haven't had the life processed out of them to the point that the results are sterile and lifeless.

In praise of Elvis on Camden

The second Elvis album I ever bought was Burning Love And Hits From His Movies, back in the early 1970s on cassette, from the downtown independent record shop where the staff always looked too hip to be selling Elvis records. I could have been repelled, disgusted and baffled. Instead I was hooked by Colonel Parker's frankly mad wheeze. All the other singers and groups I knew had their thing - you always knew what their singles would roughly sound like - but Elvis was a law unto himself. Who else could take you from the childish, cloying, meek How Would You Like To Be? to the pertinent anger of Big Boss Man in just two tracks?

Elvis : Standing Room Only 2 CD Special Edition FTD CD

Standing Room Only is the album that could and should have been released in 1972. Now 37 years later we finally get a concept release from FTD allowing us to enjoy what could easily have been Elvis' biggest selling album of the 1970s. With these masters - in superb sound quality - we are reminded where Elvis was at musically in the spring of 1972 - with strong commercial potential such as 'Burning Love' and 'Always On My Mind' RCA had enough tracks for the theoretical 'Standing Room Only' album plus for another pre-album single release if needed. And just imagine if 'For The Good Times' was released in 1972 instead of 1996!

Review : From Nashville To Memphis: The Essential 60's Masters 5 CD Box

During the 1960's Elvis Presley produced a lot of good material, but some not so good as well. From Nashville To Memphis: The Essential 60's Masters, which covers 5 CD's and 130 tracks, gathers most of his superior material and fortunately ignores a great deal of the inferior. His best albums from the period - Pot Luck, Elvis Is Back, and Something For Everybody -- are presented in their entireties. Even better, RCA has done a good job remastering these tracks (from their original sources) as the sound is pristine.

Review : Almost In Love CD

While a touch scattershot, there's a great many satisfying gems during this somewhat neglected stretch. Almost In Love, originally released in 1970, gathers ten singles, many of them from his films, and offers a strong cross-section of his many changing moods.

Review: Aloha From Hawaii CD

Review - Elvis In Person at the International Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada - Special Edition 2 CD set

If, like me, you want to collect all of the material from the 1969 Vegas engagement, the first disc is basically a backup copy of tracks you already own, while the second disc is the must-have portion. Still not a bad deal, as the price is the same as buying a single-disc FTD release anyway. If, on the other hand, you are an Elvis fan who has not been exposed to this material very much before, then you are in for a real treat. Between the two discs on this Elvis In Person Special Edition 2 CD set, you will have at least one version of every song released from this engagement thus far. Sit back, crank it up, and enjoy!

Review : I'll Remember You FTD CD by Geoffrey Mc Donnell

This concert has been a pleasure to repeat listen too. Thus I must recommend I'll Remember You, not really for any content (as it's the same as Aloha From Hawaii) with 'Until its Time' swapped from 'Burning Love' and it is an extremely short show too, but for the sound quality clear throughout!

Review : Elvis Country FTD Special Edition 2 CD Set

How do you follow up an album like From Elvis In Memphis and the singles and follow up album that flowed from the 1969 recording sessions at Chip's Moman's Memphis American Sound Studio's? In February 1970 RCA recorded Elvis live in Las Vegas and released the classic live album, On Stage, but it was not until June of that year that Elvis re-entered a studio to cut an album proper. Elvis Country was the result, released in January 1971, it was Elvis' only real concept album and in my opinion does rate as Elvis best album.
