Apparently Sony Denmark does not offer any support structure to FTD. Everything indicates that the label is run by Ernst and Roger, perhaps with a few other people contributing...

I didn't like it. It's not Elvis. It sounds like “Viva Elvis.”
I found this remix disrespectful.

Mary In The Morning - Thanks, everyone, for the tips. I managed to hear something on the FTD TTWII Classic Album. I think it really is someone talking or singing... but it's interesting. I had never noticed it before and had to listen to it several times on different sound systems.
Thank you!!

The backup singers can be heard talking during the last verse of Mary In The Morning.

Hello, at what point in the song can we hear that? In which phrase or minute, please.

Thank you for all scans!!

I agree with you that Bilko and Fort Baxter were very important. These two labels took import or boot releases to a new level, rivaling the label's own releases. I remember, in the 90s, every CD released by these two labels amazed us with its sound quality and rarity. Just Pretend, There's Always Me ...

In the song “I'll Hold You in My Heart” from the album From Elvis In Memphis, you can hear someone speaking in the first few seconds of the song, someone even says “Okay”....

For me, the Venus label was one of the most important in Elvis' entire imported discography. It brought us true rarities, exclusive and unique mixes. They probably have more material stored away... it would be interesting to see a new release from them. The Unedited Masters series is simply fantastic.

But what do you think FTD can release to keep the label active until 2030? I don't see many options or alternatives. The series of sessions will probably not be completed.
The 8" Elvis Now In Person box set, which was supposed to be released in 2025, hasn't even been mentioned in recent months. Has ...

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 ...

I think anyone who has heard the 2022 Elvis soundtrack knows what to expect from this EPIC soundtrack.
I'll tell you one thing: I didn't understand the remixes made for the Elvis movie. Summer Kisses... Edge of Reality... they're not Elvis, only his voice is. I found both songs and other remixes ...

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 ...

FTD is unpredictable... I would really like them to reissue Standing Room Only, Viva Las Vegas.
But I still hope that FTD will release one of the Madison Square Garden and Aloha shows on LP, with the new mix, of course.

“The Making Of…” is a long-term project that is worked on throughout the year and usually released toward the end of the year. “Blue Hawaii” was an exception, as it was released in May 2023. The release timing depends on how much photo material is available, or whether new material has recently ...

Hampton Roads!! Because of I Got a Woman, Lawdy Miss Clawdy, Are you Lonestome Tonight?, How Great Thou Art, Sweet, Sweet Spirit and a fantastic version of You Gave Me a Mountain.

Thank you very much !!!

The Belgian Elvis Presley Society reports that the new FTD releases will , if all goes well, be released by the end of next week, For those who are interested in these releases (and yes, I know, some of you are not)... they might arrive just in time for Christmas.

I think “perfect release” is a word that doesn't exist when it comes to Elvis Presley. There are many good releases. But let's get to it.
In my opinion, the perfect releases that occurred between 1977 and 2025 are:

1) The Complete 50's Masters, perhaps the best of all. It contains all the masters ...
