Review | Aloha From Hawaii DVD (2013 Edition New Edit)
Right there, in the middle of 'Ku-u-i-po', with no fanfare, no preparation, comes footage of Elvis appearing live in Hawaii ... In 1957 ... In color ... It is 30 seconds long ... But . . . wow. Ultimately, the wide format and split screens of Aloha From Hawaii DVD [2013 Edition New Edit] work better than I imagined they would, and they serve to shed new light and energy upon a concert that has become so familiar to Elvis fans. Use of split screen technology returns Aloha to its roots, albeit in modern form. It's Elvis. It's fun. What more could I ask?

Elvis At Stax Single Disc Version has debuted at No. 43 on the Australian ARIA Album chart
The Elvis At Stax Single Disc Version has debuted at No. 43 on the Australian ARIA Album chart. However it is definitely the Elvis At Stax Deluxe 2 CD Box Set Version that has been the hit with serious Elvis fans and if you have yet to order this set the one we recommend to you. Presented / packaged identically to the format used for the excellent [and now effectively sold out, a few sets remain, Prince From Another Planet] - that nestles down-home Memphis R&B and all-points in between - Elvis' last major 1970s recording sessions at the STAX studios produced greatness and sometime mediocrity in a vastness of styles: copious R&B wah-wah inflected workouts mingle with gospel, country, and aching ballads, but the sessions never strayed too far from the Presley blueprint - breakneck rockabilly amped up to eleven and beyond on a blistering cover of Chuck Berry's classic - 'Promised Land' (Master - CD-3) - but if not satisfying enough, gorge on two more thrilling takes (4 and 5) – stamped - utmost air-guitar - guaranteed! (CD-1 R&B/Country-The Outtakes) ...

Elvis We Love You
God was sitting, pondering the woes of the world one day and he decided what the world needed was an emissary of beauty, form, and musical magic to bring joy to the troubled planet called Earth. So God said, 'let there be a manchild made in heaven, then put upon the earth ... he will grow tall and straight sand handsome; I will give him a loyal and loving heart filled with empathy and compassion; I will give him soulful eyes to warm many hearts; ...

Getting to Graceland: A little less conversation, a little more action
Elvis passed away 36 years ago today. I was only nine years old at the time, but I was already a fan and I remember it well. Throughout my life, I've always done something to note the day. I'd watch an Elvis special on TV, or listen to some of his music. This year, it feels different. Though I am not at Graceland for 'Elvis Week', this was the year I finally got down there. I stood on one of the same stages where he first performed and in the same room where he first recorded. I saw his home, his cars and his airplanes and met one of his best friends. I placed a flower on his grave as a gesture of thanks, for not only his music, but for all of rock music. I paid my respects to The King. These are the types of experiences you can have when you visit Memphis. If you are a fan of Elvis Presley, you should really try to visit Memphis. You need to go to Graceland.

Elvis : Rhythm & Blues 2 CD Set
Elvis : Rhythm & Blues is an excellent double CD compilation with not only a much wanted theme but a well thought out selection of alternate takes, undubbed masters and importantly masters where appropriate, for example the master for 'Memphis Tennessee' was used as we strongly felt that the alternate takes did not match the brilliance and power of the master and did not offer the unique characteristics that many of the chosen alternate takes on this set do. While we looked for and found so many interesting tracks with variations of Elvis talking, laughing etc which is where so much fun is found, it was never at the expense of quality, as in quality sound, and a good performance, nor ever allowed to get repetitive. We went by 'feel' and as it turned out only one track needed replacing with another take as it did not feel right.

Elvis : He Didn't Come Back ... We Did DVD
I just had the chance to finish up watching Elvis : He Didn't Come Back ... We Did.

Elvis Is Back! : The Alternate Album 2 CD Set
With this release, Elvis Is Back! : The Alternate Album we focused not just on alternate takes for the sake of them but rather we carefully selected good performances first and foremost and importantly a selection that 'felt' like they belonged together, an album, songs that were consistent with the preceding track, for a very listenable experience. While we looked for and found so many interesting tracks with variations of Elvis talking, laughing etc which is where so much fun is found, it was never at the expense of quality, as in quality sound, and a good performance, nor ever allowed to get repetitive. We went by 'feel' and as it turned out only one track needed replacing with another take as it did not feel right on our final listen.

From the Verve label comes the release, Elvis : City Of lakes '76 recorded live on October 17, 1976 in Minneapolis. This concert was released by FTD as 'A Minnesota Moment', however 'Verve' say, 'Unfortunately the original release from FTD left a lot to be desired'. 'It sounded flat, muffled, lifeless and very hissy. The sound quality was disappointing as was the 'artwork' which showed on top an outrageous bad done Photoshop job with Elvis' left hand'. The VERVE Team say they have done 'everything to improve the overall sound and as a result you'll get to hear a soundboard recording that should have sounded in the first place'. 'Now you can hear the show for the first time in the best possible sound quality'. 'Hopefully you can enjoy the concert now as much as we do while reading and flipping the sixteen pages of the booklet'.

Review | Elvis Presley: Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite
If you are old enough to remember the original broadcast of Elvis Presley's Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite, then it is a safe bet that you are over the age of 40. It was almost exactly 40 years ago that the huge event was first shown on American television, on April 4, 1973. [With the live broadcast to much of the rest of the world on January 14, 1973] To celebrate this momentous anniversary, RCA Legacy have just released the double-CD commemorative package of Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite. There is no question that this is the definitive edition, and Elvis Presley was absolutely in top form on both nights. For the curious, Aloha From Hawaii is not a bad place to start to see for themselves just what all the fuss was (and remains) all about.

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.
