Graceland Records
next CD release is the follow up to 'The Hillbilly Cat Live', a digipack with
gorgeous photos and liner notes plus technical information. It features one of
the best shows from his August Las Vegas engagement, namely the August
24th, 1970 midnight show, taken from the original unspoiled a tremendous
audience recording! The Press release notes... After the
success of "The Hillbilly Cat Live" volume 1 we decided to give you the other
Elvis show also. Again directly taken from the original master tape created in
1970 for the double vinyl release "The hillybilly Cat "live" This second show is
entitled "The Hillybilly Cat returns", volume 2. The best title to link it to
"The Hillybilly Cat Live ! Together you'll have the complete vinyl lp release on
two CDs and MUCH MORE , the complete shows in their original form! By now we
can state that these recordings now sounds significantly better than they it did
on the 1970 vinyl bootleg. The historic.. THE HILLBILLY CAT "LIVE"! Is a
sought after double lp from Canada, featuring two 1970 Vegas shows (August 23 DS
and 24 MS) Edited together as one powerhouse performance.
Many believed at the time that it was a
soundboard recording, but it was simply a great stereo tape, made from a front,
center table. Now for the first time, hear it straight from the
original tapes, enhanced using 21st-century techniques. The August
24 Midnight Show is the complete tape, which was only partly released on the
original double album. This show is a little more serious but with Elvis on top
of his game and in great spirits, as the Hollywood cameras were gone. Listen
for perhaps one of the rarest songs in complete form "When The Snow Is
On The Roses", a tender love song originally recorded by Ed Ames, who
as it was, present during this show. It's unique to point this out since Elvis
rarely did something outside of this own songbook. All songs are getting the
royal Elvis treatment so this show is one to take serious! No wonder it
became part of the first, and most legendary Elvis bootleg LPs! EIN notes - Hopefully the quality is improved
over the "When The Snow Is On The Roses" BMG version released over ten years ago
on the "Live In Las Vegas' box-set

FTD en Flaming Star werken samen aan de uitgave van dit boek van 260 pagina's over de vitale weken in 1960 waarin Elvis terug de controle over zijn carriere nam. Het formaat is gelijk aan eerder verschenen boeken als KING CREOLE-THE MUSIC en A MOMENT IN TIME. Het boek bevat meer dan 300 foto's waarvan de meesten nooit eerder uitgegeven, tekst van David English, CD met de originele mono master van 'Elvis is Back'. Foto's zijn o.a. afkomstig van de thuiskomst van Elvis uit het leger, verschillende persconferenties, foto's op Graceland, verslag van de Sinatra TV Show en nog meer.
Als er één plaats genoemd moet worden die belangrijk is in Elvis' carriere, is dat zonder twijfel Shreveport, in het noord-westen van Louisiana. De exposure die Elvis had tijdens de radio uitzendingen van de Louisiana Hayride van 1954-56 spelen een sleutelrol in het begin van zijn carriere. Met uitzondering van Las Vegas is er geen enkele plaats waar Elvis meer shows speelde en zijn terugkeer in 1975 was als een soort van thuiskomen voor Elvis én zijn vele fans die hij er had sinds hij startte. Deze CD bevat de soundboard opname van de avondshow op 7 juni, een concert waar zowel Elvis als het publiek van genoot met een setlist van oude en nieuwe favorieten. De Cd zit in een 5" digipack met een 8-pagina boekje met foto's van de juni 1975-tour.

Rainbow Records is again able to deliver a very fine show in really nice sound, recorded by some fans tape recorder which has been secretly brought with by a fan. It is important for many Elvis-Fans to have just about every show Elvis ever did in their collection. Unfortunately there is no soundboard or professional recording available for every show. But still we are fortunate enough to hear most of the concerts because of the private recordings many fans did when they visited Elvis in Las Vegas and on his many tours. Those recordings might sound a bit rough to some ears but they are what they are: A document of Elvis´ big output of live performances. As usual a very high quality booklet comes with this release. It has a lot of pictures and information covering the magic of Elvis and Las Vegas back in August/September of 1972 on its 20 pages.

It may be the gateway to Whitehaven and Memphis' most iconic tourist attraction, but Elvis Presley Boulevard "has lost all visual and contextual cohesion" and "aesthetic quality," a new city plan says. That's a bureaucratic way of saying it's downright ugly. But a joint city and state initiative would provide a nearly $50 million makeover for a three-mile stretch of the Elvis Presley corridor, improving its appearance and safety while better accommodating pedestrians and bicyclists.
The city has applied for a federal Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery grant to help fund $20 million worth of improvements along the 1.6 miles of the boulevard from Craft Road south to Shelby Drive.
For the adjoining 1.3 miles between Craft and Brooks Road, the Tennessee Department of Transportation has pledged to spend $27 million on similar improvements over the next few years.
The enhancements are outlined in the "Elvis Presley Boulevard Revitalization Plan," which emphasizes the street's importance as a commercial, tourist and residential artery. The boulevard is the route traveled by some 17 million visitors to Graceland over the last 29 years, and it serves as a gateway to Whitehaven and the "aerotropolis" being developed around Memphis International Airport. Some 31,000 vehicles travel it daily, according to TDOT figures.
Yet long stretches of the street are lined with fast-food joints, title-loan businesses, low-end motels, shuttered businesses, vacant parking lots and gauntlets of utility poles and wires. The result is a "disconcerting visual clutter" that diminishes safety and economic vitality, the plan states.
The city project, which could begin by late 2013, would rebuild Elvis Presley Boulevard by relocating overhead utilities and installing landscaped or specially designed medians and new street lighting. It also would add or rebuild sidewalks, curbs and gutters and provide for upgraded crosswalks, shared vehicle-bicycle lanes and improved bus stops.
The result, said City Engineer John Cameron, would be a more complete road. "Right now, it's a very auto-related street," he said. The Tiger grant would bring in $12 million, with the city and Shelby County chipping in $7 million and $1 million, respectively.
Cameron said that while the project would help Graceland -- and an expansion planned by Elvis Presley Enterprises -- others would benefit, too, including business owners, residents and the larger community.
"It's not strictly about the tourism," he said. Jack Soden, CEO of Elvis Presley Enterprises, concurred, saying the boulevard is a gateway to several neighborhoods and commercial areas. Improving it could help boost property values, leading to increased tax revenues, he said.
The project also could improve Memphis' image, Soden said, noting that "people from all over the world" travel the boulevard. "We've been interested in improving the appearance of Elvis Presley Boulevard for over 20 years," he said.
Elvis Presley Enterprises, whose parent firm, CKx, was purchased by a private-equity group this year, has been working on plans to add attractions in the Graceland area. But those plans are being "reshaped" in the wake of the economic downturn, Soden said. Attendance at Graceland hovered around 600,000 annually for many years, but it has dipped this year as a result of the poor economy and what Soden describes as sensationalized reports in the national media about Mississippi River flooding this spring.
Touchdown Productions' tenth release is a double CD set wich includes two Shows from Elvis' second "Summer Festival" in 1971. In a year with no multitracks available and very few soundboard recordings in circulation, very good to excellent audience recordings are to be treasured. Here are two of them ... in improved soundquality, sounding much better than before.

Bonus Tracks: : Musical Highlights 1954-1976
Burning Love, - take 1, March 31, 1972 One of the last true rock and roll hits for The King. Here we have a rare version from the 'ELVIS ON TOUR' tapes Way Down - Spliced take , october 29/30, 1976 Recorded in the Jungle Room, in the privacy of Elvis' home. After Elvis' passing this song reached the number one position in the UK in august 1977 Moody Blue - Overdubbed (edited) master, february 4/5, 1976 Title song of Elvis' last studio album and a huge European hit. How Great Thou Art - June 10, 1975 Great live version, recorded at the Midsouth Colliseum, one year after his grammy award winning version of this beautiful gospel song. What Now My Love - January 14, 1973 From Elvis' famous TV broadcast 'Aloha From Hawaii By Satellite' . A true materpiece. An American Trilogy, February 14, 1972 M.S. One of the highlights of an Elvis Presley Performance in the 1970s. This version was recorded 2 days before the original master version, which was released as a single in the same year. Bridge Over Troubled Water - August 12, 1970 M.S. Die hard Elvis fans believe this show was the best he ever did, this great version was not chosen for the movie, but could easily have made it to the final print. I Just Cant Help Believing, August 13, 1970 D.S. Another great song recorded during the third Vegas Engagement, although Elvis had trouble learning the lyrics, he produced an excellent live version released as a single, here is an alternate version recorded one day later. Polk Salad Annie - February 18, 1970 D.S. Another highlight and fan favorite of the Elvis Presley shows, introduced in his second Vegas Season Long Black Limousine - spliced take. This song set the standard for what would come. The very first song recorded at the American Sound Studios in 1969, could have easily, if released as a single, made it to the top ten. A Little Less Conversation , June 24, 1968 (vocal overdubb) When Elvis opened his 1968 comeback special with the words: 'If Youre Looking for Trouble', little did he know that, a song recorded during these sessions, would be a number one hit 34 years later. Remixed by Dutch DJ JXL, the song was the theme for the 2002 FIFA Worldcup Finals. On this set, you'll hear the original recording. Bossa Nova Baby take 3, January 22, 1963 Although Jailhouse Rock was considered to be Elvis finest movie dancing performance, the Bossa Nova Baby sequence of the 1963 movie 'Fun In Acapulco', might be underrated, and also an acknowledge Elvis that could still move in the 1960s! Blue Hawaii - take 3, March 22, 1961 Although the movie was a big international succes, it was also a turning point in the career of Elvis, attempts to re-create its succes, almost killed him as a professional singer. He Know Just What I Need - take 9, Oktober 30, 1960. Elvis wanted to be a singer in a gospel quartet, how lucky we are he didnt make it, but gospel music is highly appreciated by fans, here you find a rare outtake from Elvis first sacred album His Hand in Mine, not released on the FTD 'classic album' release. Wear My Ring Around Your Neck - Undubbed Master (with count in), February 1, 1958. A real rock and roll gemm, recorded by Elvis while he was in the army.Despite the Rickys, Bobbys and Fabians, he was still the King of popular music! I Got A Woman - alternate take , January 10, 1956 Attemps to record this song were made at Sun Studios, but after singing up with RCA, this was the first track that was recorded. I Love You Because - take 3, july 5, 1954 Recorded at Sun Studios, during his very first commercial recording session, minutes later Rock and Roll was born when That's All Right was recorded. Thats All Right - take 3, july 5, 1954. Heres where it all started for popular music. Rock and Roll was born, and nothing would ever be the same.

Such A Night In Pearl Harbor, Hawaii: For God And Country
Such A Night In Pearl Harbor, Hawaii: For God And Country
Memphis Recording Service in association with JAT Productions will release the next Elvis Presley title Such A Night in Pearl Harbor in March 2012. It will contain a completely new re-mastered CD of Elvis performance of the benefit concert recorded at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on March 25th 1961 to aid of the USS Arizona Memorial Fund.
The quality is of this concert is far superior than anything of this ever released before and will now be considered, one of the best Elvis concert recordings up until that time. Amazing samples of this will be available in the coming week.
Elvis performs 15 songs and sings every one as if it were the first time he had ever presented them to an audience. This includes many #1 hits and includes classics that were never performed previously or again such as A Fool Such As I, I Need Your Love Tonight and more.
Also included for the first time ever, is the 30 minute radio broadcast from Hawaii a week before Elvis arrival. It promoted the concert for the memorial fund, playing selected tracks from Elvis Christmas and His Hand in Mine album, released at that time including words by Elvis Presley.
As a bonus, the CD is accompanied by a 100 page hard back book that contains many rare photographs with extensive and informative linear notes detailing Elvis arrival and performance in Hawaii.
Hawaii: For God And Country
A couple of hours later we received news that the unknown label 3764 BLVD Publishing will release the same material with the title Hawaii: For God And Country on March 26.
Their press-release:
The complete benefit show for the Arizona Memorial fund plus the radio broadcast from Uncle Toms Cabin a few days earlier to promote the Elvis Show. This historical show is the only one available of the only 3 shows given in the 60s before Elvis disappeared from the stage for 8 years. Only 3 days later he started filming Blue Hawaii.
The audio is remastered and optimized for maximum listing pleasure; priority has been given to historical value. Nevertheless it will be a thrill to discover the excitement of the only Elvis Show in 1961 recorded to date. The sound on this release is a significant improvement over earlier versions. A 24 page booklet accompanies the CD (with more than 74 minutes running time), to give detailed background info + many rare photos in b&w and in color. Also included are clippings, articles and items from the show and the fund raising.
THE FIRST 1000 copies will just like in 1961 be numbered
