While waiting for promising boots and FTDs, I took the opportunity to change MS to DS and DS to MS for "Vegas. 12/06/75"...which should have been done a long time ago. While I was at it, I gave the art work a fix-up.

I also cut off the fake ending of "Vegas. 08/25/74 DS". I made new sleeves, and for once, I'm really pleased with the result :-)

Great update, just in time for the weekend:

New unpublisheds:

I have added a third source to "Lake Tahoe 05/11/73 D/S", which is more complete than 1st and 2nd sources separately.

"Vegas 12/10/76 DS", that runs a couple of minutes longer than "Vegas Remembering".

New DVDs:

"Rare Footage" volumes 4, 5, 9 & 10 "

"Virginia Loves Elvis" (remastered)

"Love Coming Down" (2 DVD-set).

New today:

"Elvis Live From the USA" (EFE Promo vol.5).

A new first source to "South Bend 09/30/74", the old first source is now second source, and the old second source is...in the bin.

I have replaced my old source for "Vegas 08/24/74 M/S" - the sound is a bit better compared to the old source. I have removed the last bit of CHFIL, as I think it's lifted from a different show - and I'm not fully convinced that the first bit of CHFIL and Let Me Be There belong here either.

I have added a second source (single disc) to "Vegas 12/06/76", which runs a couple of minutes longer than my old, primary source.

Finally, "Unchained Melody" (FTD), which is surprisingly good.

A new unpublished concert: "Vegas 12/05/76 9pm", which runs a little longer than "Presley at the Hilton" and "In Free Fall".

I have added a new first source (2 CD) for "Vegas 12/08/76", the old source (2 CD) is now second source.

The old sources for "Providence 06/22/74 A/S" and "Vegas 03/27/75 D/S" have been replaced by better sounding sources.

Newcomers:

"Let it Be Me" (Audiophile Records), "Red Hot in Vegas" (SA 2006-5-02) and a new unpublished: "Vegas 03/31/75. D/S", which is undoubtedly the same source as "ETCY vol. 39", but the sound is a bit fuller.

A good start to 2007:

The FTDs "His Hand in Mine by Elvis" (2 CD) and "Writing For the King" (2 CD).

"The '56 Sessions Volume 1" (Dutch fan club issue), "All Shook Up in Long Beach" (no label), "The American Way Volume One" (Southern Comfort Cdone-6969), "The Complete Million Dollar Session" (BBC Radio 2), "Patch it Up" (MxF Records October 2006), "A Holy Rockin' Christmas" (Fans Only FO 001), "Rare Elvis Duets" (Philippean fan club issue), "Since Cincinnati" (re-issue, AJR 080379-2) and "Tiger Man - An Alternate Anthology - volume 5" (EPCD5)

DVDs: "Bicentennial 2 - Live in Birmingham & Pittsburgh", "Paternity Suit Uncovered!", "The Ed Sullivan Shows" (three discs), "Once Upon a Time in 1971", "Elvis Live '74 - Murfreesboro, Tennessee" and "Memphis Recording Service Volume 2".

Three new ones today:

"Tiger Man - An Alternate Anthology - volume 4", "Elvis Sixties - EFE Promo 12" and "It Is No Secret" (Captain Haddock).

I was fortunate to get a new DVD-r, called "The Hottest Act in Town" - it consists of mainly EoT-material (raw), but this isn't what makes this DVD so cool; it's a section with November '71 live material, where someone has made a really good job! I get goosebumps all over!!!

Btw. I know I should be flattered, not pissed off: First it was "Trying to get to Memphis" (SR Records), then "Second Night" (Graceland Records) and now "Red Hot in Vegas" (Straight Arrow) - I don't mind the bootleg companies borrowing my titles, but wouldn't it be a decent gesture only to drop me a line?

A beautiful string of new DVDs:

"Bicentennial - Live In Charlotte & Chicago", "Aloha From Sweden", "Blue Hawaii '72", "There's Only One Elvis", "Through My Eyes" (2-DVD), "Never Ending Love", "Elvis Lives: 25th Anniversary Concert" and "Inside G.I. Blues".

Two CDs:

"50th Anniversary of TV Guide" (It's Elvis Time) and "Aloha From Sweden" (Elvis Unlimited) - this CDs comes along the DVD with the same title - the recording sounds surprisingly good, and it makes me wonder what Elvis' live recordings would have sounded like, if they had been recorded with the technology of today.

Three new unpublisheds:

"Vegas 08/20/71 D/S" - sounds a little better than ETCY vol. 2".

"Vegas 08/27/74 M/S" - incomplete with multiple cuts BUT, the sound is magnificent...I never listened to this show this way before...and it's captivating!

"Vegas 03/28/75 D/S": I have replaced my old 1st source with a slightly better sounding one.

Looks like summer draught is finally over - new today:

Boots: "At the Top of the Game" (MEMORY), "Closing Night" (Graceland Records, "Elvis - The Documentaries Part 2" (EFE Promo volume 11), "Elvis Rocks Lincoln" (P.O. 220/Take Off Records), "ABC Rock and Roll - It Was 50 Years Ago Today" (ElvisMatters) and "Gentle on My Mind" (AIE - Chips Moman interview).

DVDs: "A Legendary Performer vol. 2", "1st, 2nd and 4ever", "The King Goes Wild", "Live Spirits", "I'll Be There 2" and "Elvis Live in Vegas".

Last, but not least, a new unpublished: "Vegas 09/02/72 D/S".

After six Elvis-free weeks, I'm back home again, and it feels great! Well, not completely Elvis-free...It's been 20 years since I last bought Elvis on vinyl, but my (too expensive) summer leisure this year has been chasing old LPM- and LSP-issues. Great fun!

Newcomers in my collection:

"I Found My Thrill", "Elvis Presley" and "Clambake" - how can you not love the goodies FTD spoils us with?

"Let it Roll" (Madison), "The Sound of Vegas 1" (SR Records), "And I Love You So" (no label), "Going Back in Time" (Straight Arrow) and "The On Tour Interviews" (It's Elvis Time promo).

And finally, "A Legendary Performer vol. 1" - a great DVD with rare bits and pieces - I'm looking forward to getting volume 2.

Football, football, football...and eleven recent bootlegs:

"DCDFORU 27 Fan Favorites" (unknown?)
"Elvis At 21" (EFE PROMO Vol 9)
"Elvis The Documentaries" (EFE PROMO Vol 10)
"In The Early Morning Rain" (TinTin TWP/02)
"The King Has Landed" (Unknown)
"Live From Fort Wayne" (If I)
"Live From Las Vegas" (If II)
"Tennessee Star(light)" (Straight Arrow SA2006-2-02)
"Tigerman - An Alternate Anthology Volume 2" (Shake Records EPCD2)
"Tigerman An Alternate Anthology Volume 3" (Shake Records EPCD3)
"The Vegas Years Vol. 1" (AudioPhile CD AR 2006-1-2)

New DVDs: "Chain Reaction", "Live Memories 1970" and "Celluloid Rocks vol. 1 & 2".

New bootlegs: "Live at the International" (If) and "Live at the Hilton" (If)

New today:

Madison's "One Night Only!" (YES!), "A Thunder in the Night" (SR), "Elvis Presley as the one called Charro!" (JAT), "Return to Splendour-reissue" (Memory) and the first VCD in a long time (it's a good one) "TTWII 08/10/70 O/S".

I have also made new sleeves for "Lake Tahoe 05/07/76 M/S", and finally, I have added a compilation called "Tough Way to Make a Living" - it shouldn't really be here as it's mainly RCA- and SB-material, but there are also a couple of unpublished tracks, so I put it here anyway.

Madison does it again! "A Legendary Performer vol. 8" is a delight; a superb packing and a tasteful selection of songs - well done!

And the concert DVDs keep rolling in: "Rocking the garden" (Memory/Dragonheart) - as was the case with "Time Warp", there is no improvement when it comes to picture quality - but it's great to have the two shows on one DVD, and they put a lot of effort behind making the picture and sound sync.

I have had the set for quite some time, but now I'm glad to add it to my site: "Blue Hawaii Tapes", a 5 CD-set fom the Blue Hawaii sessions, and it's the best set I have of all the Blue Hawaii-material that's been released.

By using three different AR-sources, I have made a 2-CD-set of "Vegas 12/15/75 C/S", that runs no less than 91 minutes. The sound quality ranges from very good, to poor.

Finally, I have replaced my old source from "Vegas 08/12/69 D/S", with a slightly better sounding one.

.... I almost forgot, the new FTDs arrived today: "Made in Memphis" and "Something For Everybody" - I haven't had time to listen to them yet, but I can hardly wait...

A new unpublished: "Vegas 09/04/72 D/S", which is most certainly from the same source as "ETCY vol. 37", but I think this sounds a tad better.

I made minor improvements to "Omaha 07/01/74 E/S", and I made new sleeves while I was at it.

Finally! This update has kept me busy for two weeks...it's almost as time consuming as it is fun, fixing up old MCs to CDs, with sleeves and all. New today:

Bootlegs: "The Lightning Storm in Florida" (MEMORY), "Better than Ever" (MEMORY), "A Legendary Performer volumes 3 & 4 (a really pleasant surprise), "What Now My Love" (X-Entertainment), "That's All Right Anyway You Do" (no label) and "ETCY vol. 37".

Unpublisheds: "Vegas. 08/30/74 M/S" (2 CD), "Dayton. 10/06/74 E/S", "Vegas. 03/18/75 O/S" (a little more complete, with "If You Love Me Let Me Know"), "Uniondale. 07/19/75 E/S", "Vegas. 12/13/75 M/S" and "Chicago. 10/14/76".

DVDs: "Memphis Recording Service vol. 1" and "The Echo Will Never Die" (Dutch).

What would you do without good friends? It's been a busy Elvis week :

New boots:

"All That I Am" (Mystery Train) - a bit of a surprise, with interesting On Tour interviews that are new, at least to me.

The two new EFE Promos: "The Boy From Tupelo Mississippi" and "From Union Avenue to Thomas Street 1954 - 1969".

"Happy Days" (No Label) - TTWII rehearsals.

"Last Tango in Tahoe" (Fort Baxter) - hmm shouldn't it be "the last tango, but one"? Anyway, it's a real beauty!

"Pieces of My Life" (Straight Arrow) - another surprise, they did a good job on that wow-and-flutter. This show is SO good!

"Setting the Standard" (SR Records). I read on the Internet that this is a "totally new show, even for collectors" - well, it's not, it's been around for many years. The problem has been the date: is it "08/17/71 D/S" or "08/18/71 D/S"? I have chosen to label it the 18th, but I'm changing it back to the 17th, for the sake of uniformity...although I can't say that I'm positively certain that the 17th is correct. And again, I'm still not convinced that "It's Over" and "Little Sister/Get Back" really belong to the show. The sound is no better than the old A/R, but the DVD that comes along with the CD is pretty neat.

"Tucson, Arizona 72" (no label) and finally "The Very Best of the Diamond Anniversary Label) (DAE), which is good if you don't have the other DAE-releases.

New DVDs are:

"Time Warp" (MEMORY) - the quality may not be better than the old VCD- and VHS-issues, but here we have much of the best audience footage all under one roof...and it's a winner!

"Setting the Standard" - the menu system is a little odd, but here's some nice '71 footage.

"At the 1962 Seattle World's Fair" - an interesting DVD with behind the scenes footage from the filming of "It Happened at the World's Fair".

Unpublisheds:

I have added a new source to "Odessa 05/30/76 A/S", which is 1st source, as the sound is slightly fuller compared to the old source. I brushed up the old sleeves a bit.

Finally, a sharp-eared friend of mine has found that the first few tracks on "Vegas 08/24/74 M/S" belong to "Vegas 08/24/74 D/S" - the real M/S beginning can of course be found on FTD's "It's Midnight".

...I think this is it :-)

I was very fortunate to have a rare promo as Christmas present: "Elvis Christmas Peace" - promo sampler from Hong Kong/Taiwan.

I have added two sources from "Roanoke 04/11/72". Both sources come from the same recording as "Rockin' Roanoke", but the three have travelled different ways since 1972 - the "new" sources include "For the Good Times" and a complete "An American Trilogy".

Also new is the DVD "The Memphis Flash".

The incomplete concert on the CD "All Night", previously dated "Vegas 02/21/70 M/S", is taking a further step back, and is now dated only as "date unknown".

New sleeves for "Pittsburgh 06/25/73".

I received four new bootlegs today:

"A Legendary Performer vol. 7" (Madison CWP 11), "Las Vegas Moonlight" (MEMORY 2048-2), "Spring Fever" (Unicorn Rec. 2101-2) and "Springtime in Nevada", which is really 03/25/75 D/S, (MEMORY 2049-2).

On the unpublished side, I have added a more complete source to "Huntsville 05/31/75 E/S" (and I made new sleeves while I was at it). I worked a little on the sound of "Lake Tahoe 07/31/71 D/S"...man, this concert blows me right away!

Some interesting additions and upgrades among the unpublisheds:

"Johnson City 03/17/76" (with Burning Love), "Alexandria 03/30/77", "Cleveland 07/18/75", "Norfolk 07/20/75 E/S" (new 1st source that's a bit more complete), "Des Moines 06/20/74" (new 1st source, which is slightly more complete and not quiet as horrible soundwise) and "Vegas 12/09/76 9PM" (pretty much the same as older sources).

I have changed the date for "Lake Tahoe 07/31/71 M/S to the more likely D/S, the same day. I have made new sleeves for ETCY vol. 71, with the date "Vegas 01/28/73 M/S", which is probably correct. Finally, I have made new sleeves for "Detroit 04/22/77" and "Vegas 12/10/76 M/S".

Tiny, tiny update:

I have added 24 min. of the Pre-programme to "Vegas 12/06/76", so it's now a 2 CD-set. And, I've made new sleeves for "Oakland 11/10/70". Finally, I now have the new release "There Goes My Everything" (no label).

New today:

"Omaha 06/19/77" - terrible sound, but this is the best I've found after years of looking.

Lots of new boots:

"A Legendary Performer vol. 6" (Madison), "Back on the Mainland" (Memories of Elvis", "Rockin' Chicago volumes 1 & 2" (Tennessee Moon), "The King of Western Bop" (CR REV 98), "Not Too Sweet" (SR Records) and finally the promo "The Presleys" (EFE vol. 6).
