Re: The "Laurel" bootlegs

The Laurel label (and all the other labels Ger Riiff 'invented' for his products) where a true labor of love and dediction.
My favorite from that area must be "Standing room only", soundwise still a hard to beat vinyl!

Re: Let`s all have a Bloody Mary From Elvis in Memphis



I cant wait until they release 'Key Lime green', 'Pineapple yellow' or 'Pink lemonade...pink' vinyl.

To my own surprise last month I found myself buying that Graceland edition ...

Re: Elvis vinyl related discussion

I have all the ones you show too Alexander, always a soft spot for them.
Qualitywise it's indeed a hit and miss sometimes, but in a way they served the purpose of adding more to the collection on a rather low price.
The artwork (sometimes mirorrred) was original too.

Re: Elvis vinyl related discussion

Not only Bob Jones was great with his work at the UK RCA plant, but from around that same timeframe -1981- this album came out.
It was cut by the British Jack Adams (his initials JA are in the dead wax), and also this one has great sound.
From memory he also did "Elvis sings Leiber and Stoller" wich ...

Re: Elvis vinyl related discussion




I've got the alternate Elvis Today double album, pretty good sound here too.
The live bonus songs from Vegas '75 sound very good here too, better then it's FTD or Fort Baxter cd counterpart (Wouldn't mind the full concert -still a favorite of mine- on vinyl too)


Is this 12 inch, Johan ...

Hello all

I understand that many on this board are former FECC residents - thanks to Alexander and the London Flash for alerting me to this board.

On FECC,I posted an article about a bunch of lp's that were pressed in Sweden around 1977-81. Most of my text was based on the excellent FTD book "How RCE brought Elvis to Europe". Along the years, I have bought many of them and that collecting them all till an ongoing project of mine ...

And that the people "in the know" are passed away now? Dick Grob, Charlie Hodge, Joe Esposito, who-ever?

Re: Elvis vinyl related discussion


Johan, I need to check if there is any indication on the dead wax of who mastered my green label HH. I'm not home right now but will back to you on that later.

As I'm sure you know,the problem with the original mix is that Elvis's vocal is way too loud. The master tapes are only 3 track (Elvis ...

The 'Greatest hits vol1' version from 1981 and the British upgrade "The sound of your cry" from the same year.
US, France and the British version.
They do sound marvelous (the British one cut by Bob Jones even excellent) and the tracklisting is great too on them.

Re: Canadian stuff



Talking about Canadian releases/pressings.
I'm immediately reminded of this one.
Of all my pressings of "That's the way it is" (among them Japan or UK), the original Canadian pressing from 1970 is to my ears the best sounding one.
In fact, it's so good, i've got two of them! ;)

Those are some great pressings Alexander, very nice to see!
Have some of the 'tan' versions, but i don't think any are rare. How do they come out soundwise?
