Vinyl albums are back again. Sales of the 'new old records' on 33 rpm skyrocketed last year with 39% increase compared to 2010. Worldwide, over 3.9 million vinyl albums were sold last year. Elvis is among the most popular artists for vinyl collectors, due to the many re-releases of his former albums. The Official Elvis Presley FTD Collector's label have begun re-releasing Elvis' entire catalogue on vinyl records.

Video Preview: Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD. Digipack with a 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.
