Thank you!! Elvis really stand out in that crowd! How cool!

Not the first 'Colonel' exhibit.
In 2009 there was one in Breda. (The Netherlands)
This was 100 years after mister van Kuijk was born there.


Cool- what was exhibited there?


It was an event in Breda, Colonels birthplace, put together by ElvisMatters(at the time a fanclub for fans, now it's ...

Damn, the quality of this is stunning!

I listened to Sunset Boulevard on Spotify a bit, the 1974 rehearsal is running too slow indeed, it is dragging significantly. I checked the old DAE cd then, and it seems that the speed is correct there.


I also feel that the recordings benefit (much) as mono recording instead of binaural/stereo ...

Thanks for this news!

The 4lp That's the way it is and Stax has surely my attention!


Indeed the 4 LP TTWII is hard to find. It took me a long time to find a good copy. But I will get this re-release too. Absolutely!

It also took me quite some effort to find a copy of the "Viva Las Vegas ...

Thanks for this news!

Maybe a short review about the latest cd import release from Paradise records.
It contains an audience recording of the official unreleased march 22 DS 1975.
Official means, not on pressed cd, only on cdr before.

Well the show is good, but the sound is a hardly an improvement over the cdr.
In fact ...

In a way, disc one and two are worth the money... the other three cd's are not really 'new' to collectors.(not that i'm saying the first two cd's are 'new', but reworked).
A double cd was in a way the best option.
To me the vinyl edition is more like it, it stays in theme with the studio recordings ...

The vinyl version is a beauty too and contains highlights from the two first cd's.

Im surprised they didnt advertise the 1974 rehearsal being released complete and unedited for the first time in binaural stereo. It was partially available on autumn gold by audionics before but that was incomplete.


They even let the 'risky' words (f*ck) in.
The quality on the 1974 rehearsal ...

Few surprises.
Not all on cd 1 is totally undubbed, i hear strings on "Always on my mind".(wich sounds lovely)
"Susan when she tried" is a longer cut compared to the original and i believe "Where do i go from here" too.
CD1 and 2 are well worth the money.
Disc 3 is a stereo version, Elvis(and ...

Will receive my lp tomorow, so far i only have the cd set.
It looks awesome, and by listening to the first three songs of cd 1 it sounds awesome too.
The new mix by Matt Ross Spang sounds warm, detailed, i heard things in the master of "Always on my mind" that i never heard before.
So far thumbs up!

Todat i will (hopefully) receive my cd and vinyl set of this.
Curious to hear the mixes!

It's good that the new mixes of the masters can have their vinyl release, they sound pretty good. (Still not excellent, but good).
Together with "Fun in Acapulco" , this must be one of my favorite soundtracks.

Let's hope many of the former members will come here too, missed FECC the place.
The knowledge, the discussions, the reviews and insights.
Thanks for making this board!
