Ernst Jorgensen On New Releases
On the "new" song rumor: There will not be a "new" song on the new upcoming FTD "Southbend", it will contain 3 bonus tracks but no decision has been made from the 200 songs available.
On the soundtrack releases: FTD has the intention to release more soundtracks, depending the success of the current release. The goal is to do this around Christmas. Eventually they hope to release all soundtracks. Depending what RCA decides to do with their catalogue FTD might consider re-releasing non-soundtrack albums.
On "On Tour": Only Turner knows if there is going to be a DVD release, they own the rights, but BMG will release more music on both the RCA and FTD label.
On the "Close Up" box-set: The "stereo" tracks on the first CD are all binaural takes. The seventies masters are the dubbed versions. The Live show, San Antonio, Tx. is in Stereo.
On Live Concerts: Jørgensen is looking into the release the complete "Aloha Dress Rehearsal" 1973 (fully remixed). The Memphis show of 1974 (Midsouth, "Live On Stage in Memphis") is very unclear: in one line the answer to the question if it will be re-released is yes, in another no. There are no plans for updating " Madison Square Garden " or the " 1968 Special ". The 1973 Tahoe concert (May 13) will be one of the next FTD soundboards. Source: Elvis News

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.
