Title: Spector on Elvis Post by: Rocker on July 13, 2006, 05:05:36 AM http://www.elvis.com.au/presley/articles_spector.shtml
Quite interesting. "Night rider" never was my favorite Elvis-song but I'd like to hear a Spector-produced demo.... Title: Re: Spector on Elvis Post by: I. Spaceman on July 13, 2006, 01:34:38 PM Have you spotted Spec in the audience at the 68 special?
Love Night Rider. The demo is supposedly coming out on an FTD disc, soon, as well as the Spector-produced Slowly But Surely demo that supposedly kicks ass. Title: Re: Spector on Elvis Post by: Rocker on July 13, 2006, 01:50:06 PM Have you spotted Spec in the audience at the 68 special? I don't think he was there... Title: Re: Spector on Elvis Post by: I. Spaceman on July 13, 2006, 04:20:44 PM Have you spotted Spec in the audience at the 68 special? I don't think he was there... He absolutely definitely was there. During the stand-up shows. Ya think I would say that without knowing it? Title: Re: Spector on Elvis Post by: Jonas on July 13, 2006, 04:22:47 PM Ian does know his Elvis...plenty of proof at The Smile Shop.
Title: Re: Spector on Elvis Post by: I. Spaceman on July 13, 2006, 04:24:25 PM Ian does know his Elvis...plenty of proof at The Smile Shop. Ahh a bit, Amo-Joe. Spector claimed the 68 Special was destroyed by the deletion of Tiger Man. Title: Re: Spector on Elvis Post by: Jeff Mason on July 13, 2006, 06:32:31 PM This is from the Memories song at the end of the sitdown show. You tell me that's not Spector.

Ahh a bit, Amo-Joe. Spector claimed the 68 Special was destroyed by the deletion of Tiger Man. I thought that was Let Yourself Go? Title: Re: Spector on Elvis Post by: I.

I thought that was Let Yourself Go? Nope, Tiger Man was deleted in favor of Blue Christmas. Binder's edit retained no Christmas music, and Parker threatened to shelve it, so Tiger was cut and Christmas put in. Spector claimed this removal destroyed the show. Title: Re: Spector on Elvis Post by: Rocker on July 14, 2006, 03:59:21 AM Hell, Ian I apologize. I never knew that Spector was there. And I'm a fan for over 12 years. I thought I know everything. Now that's something. Thanks also for the pic Jeff !

I checked my sources -- they say that it was BOTH the cuts that caused Spector's ire. I could certainly see both of them as essential tracks. Title: Re: Spector on Elvis Post by: I. Spaceman on July 14, 2006, 07:52:40 PM Cool, I had only heard about Tiger.
Personally, I feel that Let Yourself Go was no big loss. Great recording of the tune though.

Great recording of the tune though. I think it ould be graet if they had left "Let yourself go" in the special. Great scene and great song. It kinda perfects the image of Elvis imo. Title: Re: Spector on Elvis Post by: Rocker on July 19, 2006, 03:12:00 PM So here you can see it, including Spector: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3vBEMCp8-M&search=elvis%20presley

I don't have anything to add to the thread, but it's nice to see your sophisticated-looking Curly Howard avatar back! Title: Re: Spector on Elvis Post by: donald on July 21, 2006, 11:40:47 AM nyuk, nyuk, nyuk
