I would much rather have the original TTWII movie with upgraded video and sound quality on Blu-ray.BlackpoolEPfan wrote: November 10th, 2025, 4:02 am Whatever happened to the rumoured blu ray re-release of "E.O.T" with reinstated "Johnny B. Goode" opening credits sequence?? Anyone any idea??

Re: "Elvis On Tour" - blu ray rumour...
Absolutely agree. The special edition looks and sounds good but misses some essential moments of the original, like I just Can't Help Believin' and Sweet Caroline. The original definitely needs an upgrade...

Yes… and the DVD version is so poor that I’m almost speechless.Bilbobaggins wrote: November 11th, 2025, 1:31 amAbsolutely agree.

Still, I’ll be very surprised if it ever gets released on Blu-ray.
There was a time when I really wanted the original on Blu-ray, but after a fan
made a really great version with the missing footage — upscaled video and added
stereo sound — that he posted on FECC about three years ago, I really don’t
think about the original movie anymore.

Re: "Elvis On Tour" - blu ray rumour...
I'd be surprised too if it gets a release on bluray (or 4K). But if those lightweight 60's movies get a bluray release... then a musically relevant movie like TTWII (the original, that is) should deserve an upgrade. It was a missed opportunity when the Special Edition was released, that a bonus disc with the original, remastered, wasn't included.KingElvis wrote: November 11th, 2025, 4:31 am

And the August 12 MS performance of Suspicious Minds... the one from the 11th just isn't as impactful...

Re: "Elvis On Tour" - blu ray rumour...
I do believe whenever "On Tour" has been screened on the Sky Arts channel in recent years, it has been the original opening credits sequence with "Johnny B. Goode"!!!BlackpoolEPfan wrote: November 10th, 2025, 4:02 am Whatever happened to the rumoured blu ray re-release of "E.O.T" with reinstated "Johnny B. Goode" opening credits sequence??

Hmmm...why no blu ray reissue of the original???

Agree,that one would also look great in HD.Mike C wrote: November 11th, 2025, 7:26 pm Frankly, there is only one Blu-Ray I want -- Loving You on Blu Ray!!
We almost got the bluray a few years ago but cancelled due to song copyright issues.
