Of course FTD does not have to end if and when Ernst and Roger call it a day. But that’s not the complete picture. Sony may not renew their contracts if they feel that the FTD label as an external outlet for Elvis rarities is no longer viable financially.

We are getting to the bottom of that ...

The 5th, and final, batch of the MoV re-issues is announced to be released on march 6th.

Yes, just noticed that. Like before, I find the non exclusive colour ...

Never had any issues with wrong discs in a Elvis releases but have had some issues with other titles and formats.
Mostly scratches and movie disc that simply didnt work.
And one time I purchased a game but for whatever reason it was putted on the shelf and years later when
opening the sealing the ...

Good that you sent out this warning! The sets are expensive enough to check it.

I had the problem with the (sealed) TTWII book/CD combo. One CD was in the set twice and another CD was missing. I ordered from Elvismatters. I sent them a photo I took of the set with the double CD. They sent me the ...

I’ve been made aware by a couple of collectors (there could be others) that their sets whilst including 5 actual CDs, that some discs have in fact been duplicated, which means that the sets are basically incomplete.

So for any collector who has not yet opened theirs for whatever reason or are ...

Just saw this on amazon...

Apparently, there are many variants. CDs are released in February and vinyl in April. Amazon are doing an exclusive multi coloured vinyl version whilst Graceland are offering it in a different colour. And then there is the regular black ...

The 4th batch of the MoV re-issues has arrived. One more to go! Sound is excellent again...

I have to say I am quite disappointed that the next batch will include another variant of the TTWII album. They should have opted for just the 4 LP set and introduced a different ...

the original fans are dying out and tend to be less techie

I think there has been a poor job of marketing Elvis to new generations

the high fee to use his songs in movies kept him off soundtracks like The Outsiders

it took Disney and Lilo n Stitch to be able to afford to use Elvis


There’s a ...

What is this for? Why is the release date 2004 for this single?


It is a general starting point that the BPI have used for lots ...

We are getting to the bottom of that well ...

I guess the Elvis journey from Ernst will come to an end in 2027.We've got fantastic releases from Ernst. But the last ones were , well not the best. The Memphis set had a lot of discussions. What do you think ? Will we get a last huge surprise end when Ernst finishes his work ?


At some point ...

The fact is that if FTD closes down in 2027, many sessions will no longer be covered... until now, FTD has released two to three box sets per year containing complete sessions, and in the last two years we have only had film sessions. Considering the possibilities: NBC, Memphis 69, On Stage ...

It’s all to do with the Christmas Playlists where a couple of his songs get featured. A few days ago, Dean Martin had 64 million monthly listeners, Brenda Lee had nearly 62 million off the back of one Christmas Hit Single. Frank Sinatra had 56 million, Andy Williams was in 53 million, Nat King Cole ...

More possibilities is on Elvis 100 th in 2035 that FTD ending and who knows forther with Elvis movie bloopers ?


That sounds like wishful thinking. I’m not sure that Ernst and Roger will want to be actively running FTD in their mid 80s around 2035, whilst the kind of collector of a similar age ...

I look forward to the soundtrack.
Like with his previous movie "ELVIS", the soundtrack was a movie thing, much like it was in the picture, i liked that, it was a nice alternative.
People who saw the movie expect to be the soundtrack to be sound like that, as they heard it.
I expect the new one ...
