[This is half our order with a second box is due to arrive any time now] We had seen all the artwork and so usually the finished product presents no surprises however with a nice sturdy cardboard outer sleeve it really feels like you have something substantial in your hands. And the cover photo continues to mesmerize, as we packed each individual order today it was a continual delight to view the cover as one was picked up and packed right after another. On the inside there is the white inner sleeve, and then the disc itself, with a nice white label proclaiming RCA Victor and 'not for sale' [Which it is!!!]

In this image it apears that a group of people appear to gather together to form this uncanny likeness of Elvis Presley. But does it?
One of the most interesting things to hear as you listen to these performances is the confidence that Elvis clearly gains with each appearance, becoming more assertive and aggressive as he performs for the fans. Along with Elvis' increasing level of comfort, it's also interesting to hear the fan reactions with each subsequent appearance. From polite applause for his first appearance to outright pandemonium by the time he gave his final performance, listeners can clearly hear the increased excitement that Elvis caused ... The CD also contains the recent discovery of Elvis' last performance on the Louisiana Hayride in December 1956 as released on Sony's Young man With The Big Beat. This will be a more complete version of the show and for the first time, be

As the only child of Elvis Aaron Presley, rock & roll's first and most celebrated rock star, and Priscilla Presley,
Lisa Marie Presley would have to work extremely hard to establish her own individuality, far far away from her famous Father. It would be a rough road, but Lisa Marie had the spark and rawness to do it and to do it on her own terms. Born to
Elvis and
Priscilla Presley on February 1, 1968, Elvis' only daughter spent the first four years of her life at
Graceland where she was the apple of her father's eye.

David English author of the FTD book release; Welcome Home Elvis has contacted us with some extra - and very interesting - information about the book. In regard to the CD we were most interested to learn that the mono CD of Elvis Is Back, was recently found in the UK. There has been plenty of speculation as to exactly what the master was. Then we have four [4] new pages of sample text from the book. As David explains; 'The idea first came to me to write an article about the Elvis Is Back Sessions, which then became too large, and it then expanded over a period of two years. This originally consisted of mainly text of each song having a detailed history, with songwriters, musicians, (in the form of the book 'Writing for the King') The book then expanded further to include the Sinatra Timex show and
now consists of the journey to Miami using original newspaper articles and photos which have probably not been seen since they were originally written.

1:18 diecast model of Elvis Presley's Ferrari Dino 308 GT4. The 308 GT4 is a very important car in Ferrari's history: it was their first road car to have a mid-engine, V8 layout. It was also the first Ferrari to sport bodywork designed by Bertone. Elvis decided to buy the black Dino in October 1976, and add it to his already extensive collection of exotic cars. The Ferrari is currently on display at the Elvis Presley Automobile Museum in Graceland. Mattel has done a great job replicating the King’s Dino. The spoked wheels look very nice, and we're particularly impressed that Mattel has recreated the car's orange oil filter.

FTD will release Another Saturday Night in their 5" Soundboard Concert CD series at the end of April. If one place is to be picked as the most important in the career of Elvis Presley, it is without doubt Shreveport in the northwest part of Louisiana. The exposure that Elvis got through the radio broadcast of The Louisiana Hayride in 1954-56 was one of the key factors of establishing the early part of his career. With the exception of Las Vegas, there is no place where Elvis played more shows, and his return to the city in 1975 was like a homecoming to both Elvis and the many fans he had there since he started out. FTD have chosen to release the soundboard from the evening show of June 7, definitely a show that Elvis and the audience truly enjoy, and with a great set list featuring old and new favourites. 5" digipack with an eight-page booklet.
