I've become obsessed with Elvis in the last month. I think he was the greatest. Some albums I've been playing:

- Elvis at Sun
- Elvis Presley
- Elvis
- Loving You
- Elvis' Golden Records
- For LP Fans Only
- A Date with Elvis
- Elvis (1968 live album)
- From Elvis in Memphis

Lots more to discover. Enjoy the ride!

Yeah I noticed they had some home movies of Elvis and Johnny Cash listening to some demos on a record player

1969 was a pivotal year for Elvis Presley. Fresh from the success of the ’68 Comeback Special, a revitalized Elvis headed to American Sound Studios with producer Chips Moman and a crack group of local session musicians. From these sessions came From Elvis In Memphis, one of the most beloved LPs of his career, plus the seminal hits “Suspicious Minds” (his 18th and final No. 1 hit) and “In The Ghetto.” American Sound Sessions 1969, available for the first time on vinyl, features rare and unreleased outtakes from these legendary sessions.

And more news about the movie:

New Elvis Presley movie starring Tom Hanks to be filmed on the Gold Coast

Hollywood legend Tom Hanks will star in a new Baz Luhrmann movie about the life of Elvis Presley to be filmed on the Gold Coast.

The dual-Oscar winner will play Presley's lifelong manager Colonel Tom Parker, but who'll play The King of rock 'n' roll is yet to be revealed.

"The role of Elvis will be filled after a worldwide search to be overseen by Baz Luhrmann," Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk told parliament.


She said the production would inject more than $105 million into the local economy, and generate 900 jobs in areas including set construction, catering and costume design.

The Warner Bros. Pictures film will be shot at the Village Roadshow studios on the Gold Coast, and follows a recent meeting between the premier and Luhrmann in London.

It will explore Presley's rise to fame with a focus on his complicated relationship with his manager.

I just heard that Sony Legacy will release a new vinyl version of "50.000.000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong" - the second volume of the "Gold Records" series - in January 2020. So for every collector and everyone who wants to get into Elvis' music, this should be interesting. It's one helluva album!




I Need Your Love Tonight    
Don't    
Wear My Ring Around Your Neck    
My Wish Came True    
I Got Stung    
One Night    
A Big Hunk O' Love    
I Beg Of You    
(Now And Then There's) A Fool Such As I    
Doncha' Think It's Time


IIRC the wrong version of "Doncha' think it's time" was used, which differed from the single version.

I hope they will add a few bonus tracks - it's a very short album as it is.

In case anyone is interested, here is the original single version of "Doncha' think it's time":

And here is the version that was used on the "Gold records vol. 2" album:

I hope this is correct, I wasn't able to compare with the records.

In the guralnick book he notes that Elvis was embarrassed to wear the gold outfit and only wore the pants for one show-from then on he usually wore the jacket and black pants

The Presley estate’s earnings have slipped in the past decade — but a new team is hellbent on overhauling his image

All those "ideas" sound like total sh!t. What kind of people are at work there? I've never heard anything as stupid and sure-to-be-a-failure as this.

[PhilSpectre]

Elvis is one of my all-time favourates, but how many times can you sell the same (admittedly beautiful) car?

Anyway, so what if EP Enterprises revenue drops? Elvis don't care and the music's all that matters anyway.
