Thank you @Alexander72 for the full story. I always wondered why the title was in English when it was for the German market originally. I guess it made it easier to release in other European countries as English is more universal than German?

That’s a hell of a lot of money for something of which there are around 100 in existence. I could do a lot of good with $15 million.

For anyone around the London area there’s a preview showing on 20th February at several IMAX cinemas.

This is a great track, it would have been interesting to hear Elvis tackle it.

Yesterday evening I listened to the concert from march 18, 1974 at the Coliseum, Richmond (as released on the Music on Vinyl pressing of last year). Steamroller blues just rocked out of the spreakers! Great show, Elvis in good mood and voice.

I always thought that everyone knew about the Record Covers album until I recently saw David talking about it on his Elvis Presley In Japan YouTube channel. Basically it’s the Portrait In Music album with a big book attached. It contains the full size artwork to all of Elvis’ albums right up to ...

I think if we are a few years further in time no one is gonna see what is real and what is AI
And AI is a standard unfortunately.
Don't know if we can see this as a good thing.


Sadly I think you are spot on, plus the way Elvis’ life and career is being changed by social media posts new fans ...

This one is from Poland I believe, again I’ve had it in my collection for many years.

Now that is unusual Colin.Bee, a picture disc with a whippet. I just did a bit of research on this one, issued around 1980. Link attached to ‘Discogs’ with ...

I thought I’d dig out a few unusual items from my collection. This first one is a French Christmas EP, I read towards the end of last year that it was going to be reissued along with a CD of the four tracks. I bought this one when it was first released.

@Colin.Bee : I took a quick look, but in the 'bootleg Elvis' book there is no mention that Ger Rijff was involved. But that doesn't mean he wasn't of course. At least, as you mentioned, there was a bonus poster bij Tallhair...

It should be this one... correct?

That’s ...

Happy new year to everyone, let’s hope it’s a good one!

Don’t forget the Golden Archive label, what they were releasing was truly mind blowing at the time. It maybe run of the mill stuff now but back then most of it was brand new to our ears. Plus those covers were just stunning, far better than what RCA were doing at the time. Who could forget that ...

It's an awesome show (like all 1956 shows)!

I wish we had more shows from 54 to 57 in great quality.

The spreads inside are not so nicely designed, but the front cover is great.
