FTD are also working on 3 more movie soundtracks, but are holding back because of so many other releases during this time. FTD is fully comitted to re-release the repertoire that is no longer avalable through retail shops, and there will be more of these re-releases by the end of the year and certainly next year as well.

His image is the strongest in Rock and Roll music, yet he never wrote his own songs. But he didn't need to.

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.
