Elvis (Fool)
ELVIS
Recently released in the "classic album series" is Elvis (Fool). This double CD contains both masters and outtakes.

It worth noting that we now - get a new jam version of 'Don't Think Twice, It's All Right'. Also new - though incomplete - are two takes of 'My Way', in addition to outtakes of a few other selections.

Unfortunately the are error in the content of both CD's.

King Creole - Book/CD
KING CREOLE - THE MUSIC
A photobook dealing with King Creole. Photos has been taken from the collection of Pål Granlund. It consists of two main sections; the recording sessions on January 16, 1958 and song scenes from the filming of the movie (including behind-the scenes shots).

The news provoked many Elvis fans, as this mean that no Classic Album of King Creole will be done available (at least for a while) and the book-combo is overpriced as all other FTD book projects are...

The CD accompanying the book contains nothing previously unreleased.

The sound quality is EXCELLENT!

SHOWTIME! BIRMINGHAM/DALLAS '76
SHOWTIME! BIRMINGHAM/DALLAS '76
This double CD features two of the most fabled soundboards from 1976.

Both the show from Dallas, December 28 and Birmingham, December 29 have previously been out on several bootlegs the last 15 years.

The sound quality on the Birmingham show is so-so, definitely not as good as F1rst Time Birmingham, while the Dallas show from the day before comes in the best sound quality so far.

High Sierra
HIGH SIERRA
Out now on the FTD label is their first 1974 Lake Tahoe show.

Focusing on the midnight show from May 21 1974, Follow That Dream has found a soundboard not already done available by bootleggers. Always a nice touch!

The CD also features bonus tracks from other shows in Lake Tahoe the same season.

Elvis Now
ELVIS NOW
Another classic album series from FTD, this time "Elvis Now".

CD-1 contains the original album with additional tracks and outtakes

CD-2 contains more outtakes, quite a few previously unreleased ones.

The sound quality is very good all through, although I wish 'It's Only Love' was recorded better than it is. While 'Help Me Make It Through The Night' and others are brilliant, 'It's Only Love' sounds thin and pale in comparison.

CD-1 contains the original album with additional live and rehearsal tracks. Rehearsal takes 2 and 3 of 'The Wonder Of You' are both previously unreleased.

A Minnesota Moment
A MINNESOTA MOMENT
Another soundboard from 1976 has been released by FTD. This time we get one of the fourteen October gigs that made up tour number 22.

This tour is well covered with 3 bootlegs taken from soundboards. Both shows from Chicago (Oct. 14 and 15) and South Bend (Oct. 20) have been released. They all display an rather perfunctory Elvis in relatively good physically shape, not necessarily in the best of mood. The sound quality is quite good.
