For
The Billionth And The Last Time - Lifting the Lid on the
King's record sales
How many records has
Elvis actually sold? Did he really sell One Billion
records as has been claimed. Nick Keene has
researched this subject in depth with help
from Ernst
Jorgensen and Sony
BMG and has compiled the following report.
This is a work in progress
and will continue to be until the full facts finally
emerge. Like a jigsaw puzzle the pieces are slowly
coming together and beginning to make sense. Updated April,
2008.

Who
else has Elvis treasures?
Rare. Never-before-seen. Wow! That's how a
newly discovered photo of Elvis Presley was described in
Thursday's Herald. Reading the Associated Press article
over breakfast, and seeing the 1972 image of a caped
King of Rock 'n' Roll at Madison Square Garden in New
York, I had to laugh. Then I had to
go check. Yep, Elvis was still in the house. Before
leaving for work, I managed to find my prized Presley
picture. It was tucked in an envelope of photos of my
late father-in-law, David Muhlstein.

Billboard
are wrong : Elvis Presley Record Chart Statistics
Clarification
This week it has been
reported that Mariah Carey has surpassed Elvis
Presley as the solo artist with the most No. 1 singles
on Billboard's U.S Top 100 chart. EPE (and Elvis Australia) claim
that Elvis had, in fact,
18 No. 1 singles, meaning Carey would have simply tied with
Elvis. The confusion lies with the 1956
chart-toppers Don't Be
Cruel and Hound
Dog. EPE (correctly) lists the two
songs as separate No. 1 singles. In the 1950's and
1960's Billboard counted record
sales and Jukebox plays of
both sides of a single. Also in the case of
Hound Dog and Don't Be
Cruel there were two different covers
issued allowing for which
ever was asked for at the counter. One had Hound Dog / Don't Be
Cruel the other the reverse
Don't Be Cruel / Hound
Dog.

Review
: New York RCA Studio 1: The Complete Sessions CD / DVD
/ Book
Once
again I find myself reviewing a MRS release and
what another beauty they've created with New
York RCA Studio 1: The Complete Sessions
for the dedicated Elvis fan! ... If I want to rock n
roll loud and proud then I would play the New York
sessions CD first every time as it jumps out at you and
hits you hard...very punchy and up front ... I would say
you need The New York Sessions, please don't deprive
yourself.

Elvis
Presley's BMW 507's
On December 21 1958, Elvis leased a
white BMW
507. The car was a 'used' one and Elvis
knew this, formerly driven by racing ace Hans Stuck. In
August 1959 Elvis swapped the sportscar for a red
507 which he drove until October
1959.

Elvis
kept GI blues to himself
On Monday, Graceland
opened a trio of new historical exhibits, including one
focusing on Elvis Presley's 1968 Comeback
Special, and another called 'Private
Presley'. While Presley was lauded for his
service, his tour
of duty -- most of it spent in West Germany
-- was also a personally difficult time for the singer.
Here, Priscilla
talks
about the exhibit, her memories of the era,
and a side of Elvis that few knew.

Sony
BMG Have Elvis Duets Tape
Ernst Jørgensen has told us that Sony BMG
have the Elvis Duets tapes. Ernst told us today 'George
Klein has already approached SONY/BMG on this issue. We
have told him that we are not interested in buying his
tape, as we already paid for these sessions and
have the tapes ourselves. I don't
understand why Mr. Klein brings up this issue again.
Obviously all rights are with SONY/BMG and the various
singers'.
