Blu-Ray for Aloha From Hawaii and the '68 Comeback Special?
We asked Scott Williams, Vice President of Marketing and Media at EPE about the possibilities of blu-ray releases of the Aloha From Hawaii and ’68 Comeback Special, and he has explained to us that they are presented with difficulties due to the way both were filmed. As both were filmed for television and not the cinema screen the lower quality presents a problem in that it would be to evident in the high resolution blu-ray format. So it is a big challenge. They are checking some other technologies with their technical guys and who knows what sort of things may be developed in the future. Scott tells us that they want to make blu-ray releases happen as bad as the fans that use blu-ray. Let's all hope they can find a way!

Reviewed and Rebooked at the International
Here we have two Reviews of Rebooked and at the International ... we get superb sound and more of a concert feel with much Elvis dialogue originally cut - here for the first time. ... I am incredibly glad I took the plunge and invested in this release. The content (released and unreleased) is top notch and presented well, and great care was obviously taken in packaging, graphic design, and acquiring rare photos (and excellent sources for them). They don't come around like this every day. This is a release worthy of the engagement it represents. '... you won't listen to the Sony 'On Stage' release ever again after hearing this ...'

Review : Fashion For A King & July 1, 1974 : Omaha, Nebraska Concert CD
The July 1, 1974 concert included with the new FTD book release, Fashion For A King proves that you do not have to have a stereo recording to have A grade sound quality. And this soundboard recorded concert is in A grade sound quality and it also may just about present us with Elvis' best concert performance from 1974, to my ears it is anyway. The sound is crystal clear and Elvis is in top vocal form, he certainly gives a far better overall performance, in my opinion, than the famous Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis concert recorded just three months prior ... The book is stunning ... a photo book ... also a tremendous photo book detailing Elvis' jumpsuit's and a detailed information book and then it is of course a great reference book ...

Elvis My Best Man By George Klein comes across as an affectionate recounting of the times Klein spent with a man he considered his best friend.

FTD Sun Project Update
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 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. 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.

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.
