Re: what were your first Elvis LPs?

My first LP was the re-issue of Golden Records Vol 2, unfortunately it was in re-processed stereo.

Re: Moody Blue (2000)

From memory I think Elvis had about 7 albums in the top 50 at the same time just after his death.

Moody Blue (2000)

According to elvisinfonet the reissue of Moody Blue from 2000 has been issued a silver disc in the Uk for sales of 60,000 copies.
Obviously this is in addition to the original album.

Re: The Doo Wop Project new CD "Echoes Of The Street" out now

Discovered doo wop music during the rock n roll revival in the UK in the late 70’s.
Earth Angel by The Penguins is my favourite doo wop song.
These guys do sound good.

Hi,
On Sky Arts in the UK they have an Elvis night tonight.
Among the usual things is a documentary called Elvis- Summer of 56.
Narrated by June Juanico apparently, not seen this before.

Re: Elvis Australia - Guralnick interview

Have bought the book but not read it yet.
The reviews in the above magazines rate it and say that it is a fair assessment that seems to right some wrong impressions of the Colonel.

Greatest Hits Radio Uk

They have started a poll on their website.
This is for the greatest hits of the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s.
Elvis’ Always On My Mind is in the 70’s section.
There is also a wildcard vote and I’ve voted for Burning Love in that section.
Go to their website to vote.

Re: Canadian stuff

there were also several Canadian singles released after Elvis' death including quite a few on coloured vinyl.
I have Unchained Melody, Little Darlin', My Way, Teddy Bear and Are You Sincere. Also have several on black vinyl in stiff card sleeves including You Gave Me A Mountain, Blue Hawaii and Way ...

Re: Finally Ordered Elvis: The Last Tours Vol. 2.

Enjoyed this more than I expected.
Although Jailhouse Rock is not good at all.
