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 ...'

Elvis Drove The First McLaren

A little known Elvis fact has been revealed by car designer McLaren. They state on their website that Elvis Presley drove the very first Elva M1A group 7 car in his 1966 hit film, 'Spinout'. There were only a limited number of this model ever built, and while the car was never owned by Elvis, it is another first to add to the list! However, the McLMaren is NOT the white car with the '11' sticker on the hood, but it's the gold car. The white car is a 1965 Shelby Cobra. The gold car, [No. 5], makes its first appearance at 1:07 secs on the video.

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 Presley Video 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.
