Elvis Checked In, Nationally, With Heartbreak Hotel
Fifty years ago, it was as haunting and wounded an opening line as rock 'n' roll had ever known - 'Well, since my baby left me ...' Drenched in reverb, though not as much as memory might suggest, 'Heartbreak Hotel', signaled Elvis Presley's major label move to RCA and onto the national radar when it was released in 1956.

From Sunset Boulevard to Paradise Road
DAE's "From Sunset Boulevard to Paradise Road" is probably THE best import CD ever released! This is one of those CD's that almost never leave my CD player. The traditional DAE's design, a three fold digi-pack and a beautiful artwork.
Old Times They Are Not Forgotten
Soundboards don't get any better than this from a technical point of view and out of shape or not, it's still Elvis. And that's probably the fact that matters most to us. Contains a great version of 'America' and can be recommended just for this track.

Elvis: The Way It Should Have Been?
Back in the sixties one of the many frustrations suffered by Elvis fans was the way RCA went about choosing his singles between March 1963 and the end of 1968.

Baptist Memorial Hospital, where Elvis was a patient so often, and where he was pronounced dead to the world is no longer. As hundreds of spectators looked on, the 50 year-old Baptist Memorial Hospital was imploded Sunday morning.
The enigma of Suppose
Suppose is not the greatest song Elvis Presley ever recorded but it is, for me, one of the most underrated. At a time - the mid 1960s - when you can almost hear the self-belief seeping from him on some recordings, Elvis was unusually intrigued by this quiet chilling ballad. Some fans have suggested this song may have inspired John Lennon's utopian anthem Imagine. Suppose was recorded in the summer of 1967, Imagine was recorded - and released - in 1971.
Loving You on FTD January 2006
Loving You (extended soundtrack) will be released by FTD in January 2006 along with a yet to be decided soundboard recorded concert.
Review - Elvis The Early Years Mini Series
One of the great things about reviewing television programs as part of my job is getting to see the shows before they go to air, often in a more intact state than when they finally are telecast. So, I should tell you that this review is based on the full version of 'Elvis The Early Years'. By the time Channel Ten airs it in Australia on November 6, over 30 minutes will have been cut. And, to be honest, that can only be a good thing: the less that is seen of this production, the better as far as I'm concerned.

Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch DVD Review
Another feature of the first film is upheld by the continued musical presence of Elvis Presley. Nearly every time there is a montage, the film makes efforts to weave in another Presley song. As opposed to last time, where most were contemporary covers, these tunes are mostly sung by the King himself.

Like the title of her long-anticipated 2003 debut, To Whom It May Concern, the title of Lisa Marie Presley's 2005 sophomore effort, Now What, is an acknowledgement of the state of her career, a message to anyone paying attention, whether they were a fan, friend, Elvis fanatic, or obsessive tabloid reader.

Review - Elvis Today FTD CD
In general this double CD is a nice addition to the Elvis collection. I found it interesting to hear these rough mixes, although they provided less 'news' than I hoped for. As for outtakes, I would rate take 1 of 'Bringin' It Back' as the highlight. This is a true outtake, where Elvis times the phrasing quite differently.

Review - Elvis: The Personal Archives Book
Altogether, this is a superb collection of photographic works (120 pages) of art that should help promote Elvis' acceptability as a serious cultural icon. If you like well produced books, are interested in art, or interested in photography (being interested in Elvis goes without saying, of course), then you will enjoy leafing through Elvis: The Personal Archives again and again.

Review : Untold Gold: The Stories Behind Elvis's #1 Hits
Looked at as a whole, the book deals with Elvis' place in music, his influences, and his own abilities and input, intelligently and fairly. There is a lot of sense written here and many commentators could learn a great deal from the way in which the author approaches the subject of Elvis Presley, with deference and respect. I liked 'Untold Gold' a lot ... an excellent source of fascinating facts.

Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now!

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.
