During the Brooklyn press conference just before he departed for Germany in 1958, Elvis is asked what his favourite song is.

He replies "My favourite song, is a song called 'Padre', are you familiar with it by Toni Arden?"

Would love to hear Otis Blackwell's version of this song!

Towards the end of Bossa Nova Baby there is a bit of a bum note on the rhythm guitar. Just one note - but I can't un hear it now

Can you guys stop all this chatter about Hard Knocks - I'm going to have to get it out and play it now!

Exciting!

Although, it may be New Year for UK fans as it seems to take longer to arrive here, plus there is the sorting and packing to do before sending them out in the busy Christmas post. I could be wrong of course - and will be pleasantly surprised if I am

For me, it's got to be Essential Elvis 5: Rhythm and Country. When this came out the Stax sessions had not really been covered by bootlegs much and the material was all unheard to me. The sound was very good and the cuts included were strong. It was a worthy follow-up to Essential 4; it just ...

BBJ:
Something for everybody
Roustabout
Girl Happy


Really cool! I've never seen the BBJ pressings for those anywhere so you were very lucky.


The BBJ pressing of Roustabout sounds phenomenal! Well worth tracking down if you can.

I'll have to go and recheck my copy of Girl Happy as I can ...

well I am 3 away from completing my Boppin Bob collection, but must admit it`s getting pretty hard now. I am very surprised (maybe I shouldn't be ;)) that some of these sellers have no idea what I am talking about with regards to BB etchings signature. Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

ELVIS ...

Help me oit someone:Does this mean that the INTS release we have in our BBJ list actually has an UK sleeve and German PL vinyl,and there doesn't exist a copy with pressed INTS vinyl pressed in UK?


From Discogs it seems that it is the 1982 version that has the BBJ signature and was pressed in ...

Here you go



The label does not refer to the INTS catalogue number - so looks like the UK release was a bit of an afterthought

I got hold of a copy of 'It Won't Seem Like Christmas Without You' this weekend.

The sleeve notes that it is mastered by BBJ but there is no signature in the deadwax

This release is from 1983. The sleeve design ...

My copy of Golden Records Vol. 3 has labels on both sides.

List updated...

Does anyone have info who cut these two?

Something For Everybody INTS 5135 ?

20 Greatest Hits Volume 1 ?


Well photo from @AndrewJ above has Something For Everybody,so that means that at least BBJ has cut it ...

Thank you for the photos :) I was not aware that he cut Clambake as well! I would have liked to see ole Bob's face when was trying to tweak the high frequenzies on let's say... Confidence :D


I included Clambake by mistake. It should have been Elvis Country :-)

I need to redo the whole photo ...

Just thought I would share my BBJ collection - I have added a few more since though, but haven't photographed them yet.

Have added Blue Hawaii, Roustabout and Essential Elvis 1 & 2.

Will add a photo of the other INTS pressings I have - I think ...

Glad to see this post resurected - I've been chasing BBJ releasaes since the original topic appeared on FECC.

IMO the Pete Norman pressings on the green International label soundjust as good as BBJ. A Date With Elvis is fantastic.

It's not improbable but it is unlikely I'd say. While they are likely to exist somewhere - we do not know where (in every case) nor do we know if what state they are in. Also, if collectors were going to release these then they probably would have done by now.

However, while their relative ...

The sloppiness of the presentation reflects the sloppiness of the performances!

Seriously, it should be a 10 minute job to double check this. Shame really
