APRIL 9, 2009 Hi Elvis collectors, We forgot to add a few older FTD titles when we sent out the last UPDATE so take a look below. VINYL ADDED BELOW! The interest in vinyl continues as evidenced by FTD beginning to get into releasing LP's so we are including some RARE VINYL in this update. We hope to have a lot more on the site soon. FTD NEWS!! The new STANDING ROOM ONLY FTD CD has been sent to us and we expect it hopefully this coming week. We will charge everyone's card either today or tomorrow. It looks like the vinyl version of BLUE HAWAII will be delayed again by a few weeks. The cost of the BH vinyl will be around $50 + postage although it COULD be cheaper OR maybe even a few dollars more. Sorry about not having an accurate amount but one of the unknowns is the postage to get it sent here. There is no further news as to the release date of the STANDING ROOM ONLY vinyl LP. BMG CHINA GOLDEN CLASSICS PROMO! This incredibly rare BMG promo that was released in China is definitely on the way to us although, becuase of shipping CD's out of that country, it may not be here for another three to four weeks. This not only contains alternate takes (more info when we receive it) but some of the songs are newly remixed. We are only getting SIX copies and have FOUR sold already so if you collect promos and want this one it is advisable to e mail us NOW. CONCERT YEARS BOOK!

CD TITLE SPRING TOURS '77 LABEL FTD (BMG) RELEASE DATE NOW AVAILABLE PRICE $45.95   COMMENTS This contains 23 "live" songs from 1977 - recorded on a 4 track machine, making the sound superior to the usual soundboard standard. "Unchained Melody" and "Little Darlin" are the undubbed masters from the "Moody Blue" album. FTD would have liked to include the undubbed "If You Love Me" master as well, but unfortunately Elvisı vocal is missing on the first part of the song. As for the repertoire selection, many songs were only taped once. On songs like "My Way", "If You Love Me", "Heartbreak Hotel" and "O Sole Mio/Itıs Now Or Never" there were several choices and FTD chose the best overall.

STANDING ROOM ONLY was the name of an LP that never was issued by RCA in 1972 probably because of the concerts in Madison Square Garden on June the same year. It would have been live and studio recordings from February and March of that year. The album was even advertised on the cover of the "An American Trilogy" single for summer release. This 2 CD recreation will contain Las Vegas masters from February of 1972 and the masters and outtakes from the March 1972 sessions at RCA. The FTD cover artwork is not known yet although the ORIGINAL design was supposed to be the same as the MADISON SQUARE GARDEN LP cover. According to an Ernst Jorgensen's interview with us (WORLDWIDE ELVIS) in February and March of 1998 - "Remember...the STANDING ROOM ONLY album was, in the brief period that it existed, an album of "live" recordings from the April 1972 tour. The intention was to release a "live" album from the four shows that month. That was why STANDING ROOM ONLY was going to be and not what I originally thought - a combination of Las Vegas and studio recordings. And, at this time, there are so many other releases but I don't see why there couldn't be one".

BMG China has done it again and so far has been the only country that has really and truly decided to promote the 30th Anniversary of Elvis' passing. The history behind this SPECIAL PROMOTIONAL NOT FOR SALE EDITION CD is VERY, VERY UNUSUAL from what we can gather from our sources. Apparently BMG CHINA had scheduled a special 2 CD set for the 30TH called 30 YEARS AFTER - FRESH AND NEW (NOTE: this is the correct title WITHOUT "STILL" included!). It was to contain 60 tracks with all of them REMASTERED and REMIXED and with possibly at least half of them either alternate takes or mastered so different that they sound like different takes. Unfortunately we do not know what the original song listings were but we were able to obtain a pre release sheet on this special promo version. Anyway, apparently BMG U.S. decided to withdraw permission for the regular CD's release but some copies of the promo DID get out. This may just be the RAREST Elvis promo CD EVER!!!

JXL) CD TITLE ELVIS - THE KING LABEL BMG licensed COUNTRY MONGOLIA PRICE $40 NEW PRICE!   COMMENTS This is the first ever BMG licensed CD from Mongolia (Khan Records) and it is INCREDIBLY rare for a few reasons. First, Mongolia is a Communist country that long ago banned rock n roll and anyone even caught with a rock n roll record (CD) could possibly be fined heavily or even jailed or WORSE! Crazy but true. Anyway, finally the Khan Record label got permission , just this year, from BMG to issue this legal LIMITED CD which may in fact turn out to be the ONLY CD on Elvis released there but time will tell. Please also note that it is illegal to send any of these CD's out of Mongolia. For this reason this CD is one of the rarest ever on Elvis.
