April FTD releases out now

We just have received the three April FTD releases, and as usual a review will be done by Johnny Savage. The main CD (for me) is the 50 million Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong that comes in an attractive booklet. The 2nd CD is "An American Trilogy" (live, Jan-Feb '72) and last but not least the book and CD Elvis, live in LA. The book has unfortunately a lot of pictures that are blurry and grainy, and some are out of focus. But overall it is a nice photobook. Details about the CD will come later. Updated April 9th 2007

April FTD Releases

An American Trilogy – Las Vegas Concert Recordings

Due for release on the Follow That Dream label on April 1, 2007 is the CD "An American Trilogy" with Las Vegas Concert Recordings from the January/February 1972 Engagement. This quarter's regular 5” digipack release covers Elvis’ engagement at The Las Vegas Hilton in January-February, 1972. RCA did not record entire shows, and several of the new songs Elvis had added to his shows were only recorded once. The consequence is that the main body of the CD – the RCA recordings – feature several previously released versions. Soundboard (informal) recordings of other song performances during the engagement were added to the end of the disc in order to make this as representative as possible of Elvis’ repertoire at that time.

MDQ & Rock and Roll Hero

Here we have the details and artwork for the upcoming BMG releases Million Dollar Quartet and Elvis . First the 50th anniversary of the Complete Million Dollar Quartet that will be released on September 18th and Rock 'n' Roll Years. 50th Anniversary edition of this historic jam session with: ELVIS PRESLEY / JOHNNY CASH (SIC) /JERRY LEE LEWIS/ CARL PERKINS

For the first time ever the COMPLETE RECORDED SESSION in the ORIGINAL SEQUENCE with 12 more minutes than any previous release! During the afternoon of Tuesday December 4, 1956, the world’s first superstar jam session took place and the MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET was born! ELVIS PRESLEY, JOHNNY CASH, JERRY LEE LEW IS, and CARL PERKINS sang and performed their favorite songs at the famous Sun studio in downtown Memphis, Tennessee. Away from the glamour of the media spotlight, the impromptu performances provide a refreshing ‘fly-on-the-wall’ glimpse of what music truly inspired four of the world’s legendary artists. Their country roots ran deep but the true common ground is gospel as they perform classics like “Peace In The Valley,” “Just A Little Talk With Jesus” and “Blessed Jesus (Hold My Hand.”) Country and gospel aside, Elvis was obviously keen to show off songs he was considering for his next RCA recording session such as “Is It So Strange” and “That’s When Your Heartaches Begin.” Jerry Lee also features his new single “Crazy Arms”. A real highlight

Page 33: Elvis Presley - Collectors BMG2

is Elvis impersonating Jackie Wilson’s impersonation of him while performing “ Don’ t Be Cruel” on stage in Las Vegas!

Remarkably, this historic occasion was captured for posterity by the legendary Sam Phillips and it appears here for the FIRST TIME in its ENTIRETY! Consisting of nearly 12 extra minutes, it is also sequenced for the FIRST TIME as originally recorded! Throughout this unique and insightful session, the MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET mix and match disparate styles – and their innate musicality ensures that what emerged was truly original and spontaneous.

January 2006 FTD's

The FTD label will release two CD's in January 2006. An upgraded version of '' Loving You '' ( 2 CD set ) and a the regular Follow That Dream release is called SOUTHERN NIGHTS and is a compiled “ best of ” from the spring tours of 1975. This is a companion set to Dixieland Rocks. This is yet another of the so-called “Soundboard” recordings, meaning those done at shows with semiprofessional equipment. There are several flaws on the original source tapes. Southern Nights shows just how vast Elvis’s repertoire was at that time, with 19 songs not featured on Dixieland Rocks.

Loving You

This is a 2-disc upgraded version, carefully restored by Kevan Budd. This is a variation of the BMG release from earlier in the year. We have been able to obtain a handful of movie versions from a brilliant tape source, and on Disc 2 you get the opportunity to hear all takes of Elvis recording the title song Loving You on February 14, 1957.

LOVING YOU KX all mono main version takes. ; Tracks 35-50. LOVING YOU KX take 1-15 binaural main version takes.

Note from Ernst & Roger : 2006 will be the last year where we will divide evenly between regular releases of “soundboard” material and RCA material. We will be running out of studio outtakes, except for the Classic Albums releases. Research is always going on, but hope of finding the missing studio tapes is small. We have a lot of historical Las Vegas engagements and tours to cover through soundboards, and obviously an enormous number of classic albums to restore. Thanks for another great year. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Ernst & Roger source: FECC Forum - updated on November 19th, 2005

Comments from Ernst J�rgensen about the SUN Projects

The news on the EU Sun Box ( see previous news below ) mentioned that the FTD project would concentrate mainly on the year 1955. Therefore we ask Mr. J�rgensen if it was indeed the case and if was aware of this project. It seems the fans will benefit from both projects. Here's the answer we've got from him with permission to publish it.

'' I have known for quite some time that Joseph is working on a SUN project, and we have had conversations about it, but apart from his stamper single I have no idea what his materials are. The "news" on the board reveals nothing, but obviously sounds exciting. I'm not an expert on the legal issues, but I assume that Joseph has done his home work. Although I am producing a project on the same subject (Elvis in 1953-55), I'm just as much of a fan as the rest of you, and welcome any unpublished material. I see that Joseph has a list of great people helping - several of these people are also helping me, and one of the greatest things for me in this project is that so many people have decided to share their knowledge and materials - it seems that everybody realises that it's time to forget about personal agendas, and help create the historical document about these early times - we will all benefit from this. ''

EU Sun Box

Yesterday on our Forum there was a news concerning two box-sets on the Sun era that would be released on a new label called '' Memphis Recording Services. You'll find here below the details concerning these sets. This news doesn't really belong into the BMG News section but it was better to include it in here because of the comments in the next news above.

To my understanding there will be 2 box sets that will cover the entire Sun era. The first volume to be released in June 2005 will deal only in the years 1953 - 1954. It will include what Mr Joseph Pirzada calls a 'super CD' with all tracks remastered in original Sun sound and will include a unreleased track from 1954 as well as live recordings. He promises a sound never heard before that even FTD will not afford to package. Joseph has said 'our recording sources are much better than BMG can ever get' With the package to my understanding, will also be a 7 inch vinyl record of ' Thats all Right ' pressed from the original Master Mother stamper which will be identical to the original 45rpm released by Sam Phillips in 1954 with all the hallmarks and obviously the exact sound.

Page 54: Elvis Presley - Collectors BMG2

Included is a 200 page book containing unpublised photographs including colour with documents never before seen during the 53- 54 which will include the 'most important document ever from 1954' (I am not allowed to say what that is at this stage) that has never before seen. All items will packaged together within the Box set. It is also understood that major contributions to this package include Scotty Moore, Ed Leek, John Heath, Joseph Tunzi, Stanley Oberst, Sheriff Hanna, Russ Howe, Bud Glass are just the few that are involved in this project. The book itself is written by Joseph Pirzada and John M Heath. On speaking to Mr Pirzada he did say this is a package made by the fans for the fans and items contained in this package are never before seen and many of the items contained in this package are completely out of the hands of the FTD version due later in the year. We Elvis fans know what we want and this time you are going to get it. There is absolutley no point on relying on pen pushers because at the end of the day, they always let you down. I wont let myself down, I know what I want as a fan. The main significance on the FTD release is 1955. I want to make the best Sun package that can be had which is why we are going into every detail to cover the 53-54 era. On having spent 6 months last year in the mid -south in the USA on research I am going to set the story straight. Every past book I have seen have just got it wrong. The 1955 era will have to go on volume 2 which will be out January 2006. Making both volumes the ultimate Sun collection. That will have more unreleased tracks and will have a pressing from Sam Phillips original Master plate 'Mystery Train'. The price for the item apparently will be made very affordable! Its also understood that these releases will be made available in shops of HMV and Virgin in the UK. With all the rare items 'Memphis Recording Service' have secured, it appears they will not be on the FTD release.

FTD New Scheduled Update

FTD has to change their release schedule for their releases. There are several reasons for this, but the most important one is the time factor. The pressure to deliver higher quality and a substantial number of releases, is more than they can handle within the time constraints. By sticking to four release dates only, a good portion of the time consuming non creative work will be limited. They return to a policy of 4 release dates per year: January, April, July and October. They aim to have the product ready for release around the first of each of these months. They will release the regular digipack releases each quarter and in most cases there will be extra releases coming out at the same time: "Classic Albums", books or other projects. The new release dates are as follows: April 1st: The Live In Las Vegas 1975 Soundboard - no title yet Rockin' Across Texas - Stanley Oberst's book with 2 soundboards Elvis Is Back - 2 CD Classic album July 1st: A yet to be determined regular release Today - 2 CD Classic album FTD is also working on many other projects. The SUN book/CD project is in the final stages of research. Several classic albums are in the works including Clambake, Something For Everybody, and Raised On Rock. source: Elvis News - updated on January 26th, 2005

FTD Updates

Here are a few small updates on future Follow That Dream releases. Ernst Jorgensens " Sun-project " will probably be released at the end of this year. The album " Raised On Rock " is listed high on the " updated albums " list, but no release date has been planned yet. IF Elvis' last show from Indianapolis is to be released on the Follow That Dream label an opportunity could be October, but as Ernst put it "I doubt it".

Other future projects for the FTD label are the updated albums of '' Something For Everybody '', '' Pot Luck '' and '' Promised Land ''. After t he release of the April 1st, 2005 soundboard from a March '75 show there won't be any soundboard releases for at least 6 months.

April 1st FTD Releases ( part II )

In addition to its regular quarterly releases of collectors’ material, Follow That Dream Records regularly reissues Elvis movie soundtrack albums and classic Elvis albums that are no longer part of the mainstream Sony/BMG (RCA Records label) catalog. Next in their series of “classic album” reissues are the 1960 album Elvis Is Back! (Release Date: March 1, 2005) and the 1975 album Today (Release Date: April 1, 2005). FTD Records will release a 2-CD version of Elvis is Back! in the customary 7” format. There is a very limited number of previously unreleased outtakes on the studio albums, hence the 2CD solution – combining all previously released versions – masters and outtakes. Today will receive the same treatment. Since many of the studio albums have been deleted by SONY/BMG, it’s FTD’s mission to make sure that the material is still available, in order to keep Elvis’s recorded legacy intact. Following are the track listings for both albums: ELVIS IS BACK! (An * indicates previously unreleased take.) DISC 1 From the Original Album Release: Make Me Know It ; Fever ; The Girl Of My Best Friend ;I Will Be Home Again ; Dirty, Dirty Feeling ; The Thrill Of You Love ; Soldier Boy ; Such A Night ; It Feels So Right ; Girl Next Door Went A’Walking ; Like A Baby ; Reconsider Baby ;

Each classic single will be released in a Limited Edition numbered CD and 10" format, which will be beautifully packaged using original artwork.

Never before has an artists contribution to popular music been celebrated in such a groundbreaking way but as we know... there has never been an artist like Elvis Presley. 'All Shook Up' was Elvis' first UK #1 single and will be the first re-release on 3rd January 2005. Both CD and 10" of 'All Shook Up' will be launched in a beautifully designed, foil embossed CD and 10" box which can then be used to house the other 17 UK # 1's. Due to UK chart regulations on packaging for singles, the 'All Shook Up' release/Box set will not be eligible for inclusion in the UK singles chart, therefore we will also be re-releasing Elvis' second UK #1 single 'Jailhouse Rock' on the same day.

Each single released in this momentous campaign will be packaged as following: CD Single

* Each CD will be released in 'mini-vinyl' replica card sleeves with an outer and inner bag. The outer bag features the original U.S. picture artwork and the inner bag replicates a generic UK RCAingle sleeve from the time of the original release.

* The artwork for the CD disc will replicate the original 7" vinyl release including authentic vinyl label artwork.

Page 63: Elvis Presley - Collectors BMG2

* Rather than have the standard silver finish on the 'playing' side of the disc, each CD rear will have a black finish, again to replicate the look of a vinyl release.

* Each CD will be lmited and individually numbered.

10" Vinyl * Each 10" vinyl release will be packaged in the original RCA generic bag. * The 10" label will replicate the original 7" label artwork. " Each 10" will be limited and individually numbere d.

Advertising and PR A project of this magnitude, celebrating a hugely important Anniversary in the Elvis calendar, will generate huge media interest. Noble PR Ltd., responsible for the phenomenal PR Campaign which surrounded The Top 3 release of 'That's All Right' in June 2004, will be managing this project throughout its four month run. The PR Campaign will be backed with press ads in specialist music publications and national newspapers - details TBC. Source: Essential Elvis - Updated November 15th 2004

Rare & Unusual Elvis CD

This has got to be the most unusual Elvis CD ever. This is found in Macau and are sold at the night markets there. Elsewhere you can't find this - making it quite a rare collectors' item. The CD is simply entitled: ELVES 1954 - 1976. It has a very nice black and white cover sleeves, and comes in a very beautiful color slip-case box. The most interesting part of this superb package is that it claims that it is made by BMG Hong Kong and Marketed by Universal Music Singapore, Malaysia and Canada. It also says that the CD is manufactured in Austria and the covers printed in Holland. Songs include: Anyway You Want Me / After Loving You / Polk Salad Annie / For The Heart / Jailhouse Rock / Hard Headed Woman The Wonder Of You and another 18 more great Elvis classics! Happy hunting!

The Latest News From the FTD Label

April 1 st release: “ THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN BELT ”

As some of you already heard, the April 1st. 2004 release will be a soundboard recording from January 1971 in Las Vegas. We are currently examining the 5 shows we have for the exact content of the CD and we may very well choose a show that has already been out on bootleg and add the best from the other shows. There’s quite a lot of distortion on some of these recordings making our options somewhat limited.

The general idea behind FTD’s release of soundboards is to document as many hotel engagements and tours as possibly – unfortunately we don’t have shows from all of these, and in some cases we may only have one or two from each.

Another April 1 st release: “ ELVIS RECORDED LIVE ON STAGE IN MEMPHIS ”

Along with the regular new release will be a re-release of “ELVIS RECORDED LIVE ON STAGE IN MEMPHIS” in the classic albums series (the one known from the soundtracks). It will include the songs that were left out of the original album and consequently the whole show has to be remixed. The package will be in the 7” format including a booklet with pictures and

Page 86: Elvis Presley - Collectors BMG2

information about the show.

May releases

In May we will release the next three soundtrack albums: “PARADISE, HAWAIIAN STYLE” , “SPINOUT” and “DOUBLE TROUBLE”.

“ SO HIGH” replacement CD’s

We are sure you have all now experienced complaints about a digital glitch on the “SO HIGH” track on the CD of the same name. We are going to send you replacement CD’s in plain bags with the April release (you will receive as many as you ordered on your initial order). We do it this way to secure that you will not have substantial extra costs sending these out. We are sorry about this unfortunate situation, but the mistake happened in the glass mastering, after we had already approved the master.

Ernst Jorgensen Updates On BMG & FTD Products

During Bill Burke's luncheon last week Ernst Jorgensen informed the fans with the latest news updates.

Page 87: Elvis Presley - Collectors BMG2

SUN Book: His upcoming book on Elvis' SUN years will be release by the end on 2004 or early next year. The reason is that he does not want to "conflict" with all the other released coming out around the celebration of Elvis' recording of his first single. Bill Burke will assist solving some of the mysteries Ernst could not figure out. Follow Up To E1 and E2: There will be a mass-market release to keep Elvis name alive. You can only do that by replacing the standard volumes of "Elvis' Golden Records" with new editions which people don't already know. Single: On a new single, Ernst answered "how much money do you want to loose?", a #1 hit will cost you $1,000,000. A #1 today is about 70.000 copies while in the seventies it would sell about 2 million copies. There are no current plans for a new remix. The last single did not get airplay, that's where the million dollar comes in to "motivate" people. Also it is hard to get two people at MTV and VH1 to play the single. Gospel Set: For the Gospel set it is the same story as with the Greatest Hits. There will be a new single disk to keep Elvis' name alive and earn him another Gold and Platinum award. SUN release: The announced SUN release will contain 19 masters as we know them, no rarities as it is aimed at the general public. They tracked down better sources and a guy spend half a year restoring it. This release should be out this summer. Memphis 1974 Concert: To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Elvis March 20, 1974 Memphis concert there will be a new remixed edition, containing the songs which were not released on the original LP release. Probably on the FTD label, since he mentioned this release during his update on the FTD label. On the FTD Label: The April 1st. release will be a soundboard from January 1971 Las Vegas.There will also be three soundtracks in May, "Paradise Hawaiian Style", "Spin Out" and "Double Trouble". The outtakes on the last two are more exiting than the originals. Of course there will be more releases during the year. On the future of the label. They have enough material for the next three to five years, but not enough for ten years. They keep searching for material they know or hope is out there.
