Posted September 29, 201014 yr Hi. This is my 2nd post on here. The first was in response to a very interesting Martin Sheen interview about EP. I'm 50 which means I grew up with EP news etc. everywhere. I was 16 when he died and really did not think much about it, but watched the world over the next 3 decades never stop obsessing over him. I got on Ebay and I wanted to -buy- something vinyl and rare. I thought Elvis. Retro. Original. So I did research on the original RCA 45's and LP's and bought a few. Mostly the 45's with picture sleeves in good shape. Then I enjoyed them so much as I played them one time to record them onto my hard drive. I'll collect more, but I missed something. This guy was aggressive. He was good. I'll keep that vinyl coming and collect it. I always wanted to reply to Eddie Murphy's remark, "Elvis, he couldn't act". Watching "Love me Tender", he acted as well as any Oscar winner in recent times. Unfortunately after that, he became more commercial, but I am enjoying the movies too. I like your forum and would enjoy correspondence, especially about collecting his records. I've got a few now and want more.......Jim
September 29, 201014 yr Hi Jim and welcome to BJ's Elvis forum It's great to have new posters and lovely to hear how they 'got into' Elvis music. It sounds as if you've got a good collection of Elvis music and your vinyl picture discs sound fantastic B)
September 30, 201014 yr Hi Jim, welcome to the Elvis forum, it is very good to have you on board, and we always make new Elvis fans welcome. Sounds like you already have a great collection, like most of us here. Stick around and you will always find out more about the great man himself. :cheer:
September 30, 201014 yr Author I would love to. I LOVE THAT AVATAR! That is so cool and funny. I guess I'm working my way up to which-ever movie it is from(prob. a concert tho), I'm up to 1962(Follow That Dream). This is extremely fun and I think I know why. It's like a time machine. Getting these songs/albums and movies takes me back actually before my birth(1960). Songs and scripts that have no apocalyptic messages or mentions of current world enigmas. EP was an incredibly perfect representative of fun, simple pastimes, simple pleasures, simple losses, no complex issues.....mainly joy. Most of what I've listened to in the last 30+ years is now called "Prog-Rock". Very dark but arty and mostly from England. Genesis, Mike Oldfield, Pink Floyd etc...music that didn't really convey a lot of Joy, mainly thought provoking but mostly bleak and dark. With so many instruments and arty changes that you forgot joy altogether. EP makes me relax. Tony Banks of Genesis was not "Bad to the Bone" because he could superbly manipulate $20,000 worth of keyboards at a hockey arena sitting behind Phil Collins in 1980. I never hear his name spoken.......anywhere. Although he was/is a hero of mine. I work in a school and today I heard a 14 YO kid spontaniously do an Elvis impersonation for no reason. This is what makes EP "Bad to the Bone". 33 years gone now.....and kids still want to be like him. Jim

This is what makes EP "Bad to the Bone". 33 years gone now.....and kids still want to be like him. Jim I agree with what you've said, Jim, about the films. Sure there was no deep messages, but they were fun, light and not depressing. It is fantastic that Elvis is still so much around us, despite the 33 years since we lost him. One of the great things about being an Elvis fan, is whatever mood you're in, there's always an Elvis song to reflect it and to enjoy. I've always been drawn especially to '69 and the American Studios tracks, but often I love the fun of the early songs, other times Gospel or the live stuff. There's something for everybody I, too, work in a school, albeit a primary school (4 -11 years) and believe me, the children I work with get to hear about Elvis ;) :dance:
October 3, 201014 yr Author Hi freinds. EP came up twice today. I took my GF to a certain thrift store she likes since she wanted the halloween items(outfits/wigs/etc) they sell every Oct. While she was doing her thing I thumbed thru some racks of vinyl and found a copy of "Moody Blue". In pretty good condition, the blue vinyl pressing. Both the black and the blue vinyls were released in 1977, but I'm unsure as to whether the blue pressing was posthumous. Still I'm a little sad as I looked this up on Ebay before I became a member here(and tonight on Wikipedia), only to find out it was his last record(perhaps while still alive). Can anyone confirm this? Anyway I'm enjoying it and have to remark that EP had incredible dynamic range! I actually had to turn my PC's recording levels down to accomodate his range. Funny how I now get into vinyl so much again. I always kept mine thru the decades. Very heavy to move but worth it. What's fun is to take a 1960 45rpm single or "Moody Blue" and run it thru de-click software. Sounds better than a CD. Fatter, more "punch". Anyone else do this for fun? The 2nd EP occurance....we came home, the UT Texas Longhorns lost for the 2nd week in a row (to Oklahoma), then I surfed to the movie "3000 Miles to Graceland" where several Elvis impersonators rob a Las Vegas Casino. You know the flick. A fun day. Jim

You know the flick. A fun day. Jim Wow! You must have been so pleased to have found that, Jim and it just goes to show what bargains you can find in thrift and charity shops. I'm not really an expert on Elvis vinyls so at this moment I can't confirm that it was his last, but it certainly is a very special record to own. As for '3000 Miles To Graceland', I bought the film earlier on this year and I found it a real fun movie :cheer:
October 5, 201014 yr Author Hello again. Yes it was his last. I googled around some since my last post. "Moody Blue" included several new studio tracks EP had done in late '76, but not enough to fill an LP. So some live songs were added. I liked the new trax. They sounded like.....Elvis said several times the music business changes very fast and you have to change with it(and he did, he was extremely adaptable). The instrumentation sounded very much like in keeping with the hits of the time to me. A little Lynyrd Skynyrd and other influences going on. The live stuff was not unlike "Aloha from Hawaii" 1973(which is a great live LP I bought and digitalized, I want the video!). The album was released a month or 2 prior to his death on black vinyl sometime in the summer of '77. Then switched to blue vinyl. Whether the switch to blue was before or after his death I don't know. Then later re-issues went back to black viinyl. What -IS- something of note: there were a scant few "promo" pressings made in white vinyl that are like the holy grail if you find one! I saw one for sale on an Elvis record site, and the bidding was up to $1500!! I'm loving this. Now I'm going after the EP's, 45RPM records that had 4 songs on each released on RCA from his movies, with picture sleeves. An EP from "Love me Tender" is on it's way. I'll never part with them. Jim
October 5, 201014 yr hi jim welcome to the forum nice to meet another elvis fan, although a lover of all elvis music, i am more drawn to the raw rockabilly sound of the young elvis, and have some classic 50s singles in my collection, ie....lets have party, big hunk o love, all shook up to name but a few, if you ever come across thats alright mamma on the sun label, ha, ha, just kidding, thats the real holy grail, anyway hope to read more from you a real warm welcome from me!
October 5, 201014 yr Author Oh man, I'd love to get my hands on some of the Sun originals. Good luck Jim, yes I know......but the RCA Victor 1955 and up will do fine! What -IS- funny....I see some "Elvis paraphernalia" going around on Ebay. A tie and cufflinks(with a picture of the King wearing them), or a sweater he wore, etc......all with a letter(s) of authenticity. His hair dresser or his secretary said this or that.... I really don't think you could rely on any documentation like that. How could you? It's cloth and metal. But records have serial numbers/meticulous proven documentation. And since EP was about MUSIC, I'll stick to that. Vinyl....and film....that was what he was about. I saw paper folder scripts from 2 movies Johnny Cash did(one film I had seen a dozen times) go up, up, up in value on Ebay(if they were the real deal) then sell at a high price. I'd like a script copy from Speedway, you know the movie where EP and Bill Bixby(Incredible Hulk) go to the IRS office and dance as they wait to see the tax guy. That would be good, Bixby's copy would do fine. I'm sure Elvis' copy is at Graceland under lock and key. There is so much more for me to learn and explore. Don't think for a minute this is about making a buck. Anything I buy is mine forever.....even the white pressing of "Moody Blue", if I find one!! But the music is the real thing. That's what EP was all about. Once I record an LP or 45 to my hard drive, I only listen to the WAV file. Jim
October 6, 201014 yr Author Man, did I score. Before I registered here I bought a -bunch- of rare Elvis 45's on Ebay. They just got here. The picture sleeves are in FINE condition for 40 to 50 years old! Fans must have been asleep when I won these bids. I'd say they were only about 7 dollars each including shipping. I have not played the records but they look fine. I'll get to it soon. I got the EPA-4114 "Jailhouse Rock" with -5- songs. The only other EPA 45 I have has 4 songs. I have the 47-7777 "It's Now Or Never" and 4 others.......I put them all in outer plastic sleeves awaiting ONE play only. This is so cool and fun. I've made a vow tho, to stay off Ebay till November. It's like an addiction! Gotta pay the light bill first, right? Anyway.......thats my EP moment for today. I'll keep these safe and as I don't know any Elvis fans I should make a will(I'm 50 BTW), and name one of you fine people as the recipient of these "goods" if I croak! Just kidding but true as I would like a real EP fan to have these. I watched "Spinout-1966" last night. So retro and fun. Shelly Fabrey(sp?) must have been in at least 2 Elvis movies before her demise on 70's and later sitcoms. Wasn't she the wife on the show "Coach"? There were several sitcoms prior, all short lived. She was a cutie tho. Have a nice day Elvis fans. I am. JimÂ
October 6, 201014 yr Sounds as if you got yourself some more great bargains, Jim and I know what you mean about eBay being addictive. You must have a fab vinyl collection, but you are so right when you say that it's all about the music. Elvis left us a legacy of wonderful music to enjoy Yep, Shelley Fabares was in three films with Elvis: Girl Happy, Spinout and Clambake. I don't know the show Coach (not sure if it was shown on British TV) but just cheated and looked on Wikipedia and yes, apparently, Shelley played the wife of the football coach. She did have a liver transplant in 2000 and she is now 66 years old.
October 9, 201014 yr Author Yes indeedy, I just spotted Shelley in Clambake along with "The Incredible Hulk". So he(Bixby) has 2 Elvis movies. I was sad to see Bixby's end from cancer, the tabloids made his end terrible in one youtube interview I saw. He said something along the lines of "You can't even die in peace." I've had more records roll in. More of the late 50's early 60's 45 rpm EP's(with picture sleeves) and a cupla singles. The most awaited one, Love Me Tender EP 1956, has a NEAR MINT cover. Superb condition. Unfortunately the vinyl was in pretty bad shape. But as we know, the cover is the main attraction now. I'll take a rest from my new addiction but one day get a Love Me Tender EP with a bad picture sleeve and a near mint record, then make "one good one". Still 6 on my list have not arrived yet(out of 30, I got dog nuts in late Sept.). No more for a while. Got a couple of the Camden label 1970's (still in shrink wrap) 33rpm LP's. Almost CD quality even without declick software. I'm finding LP's sound a lot better than 45's even if 45's are more "collectable". It's also a pain to discwash 45's compared to LP's. So far my needle is holding up(on the turntable). 45's leave a dirty residue on the turntable mat, so I have to rinse it periodically. Have fun Presley fans.....I am. Jim
October 9, 201014 yr Author PS: It's funny how I'm quickly picking up on Elvis' history. I heard 2 songs on an LP of movie hits and quickly found them in the "Double Trouble" and "Frankie and Johnnie" movies. But I'll tell ya, I visited 2 or more "lyric" websites for EP and his "song-ography" is HUNDREDS long.......a lot more to enjoy and compile. Could take years.....But fun. Perhaps I'll polish up/restring my stratocaster and maybe get some tabs of EP songs. Better keep the FX on the strat pretty clean, they were back then, except for a little cheezy tremolo. I've enjoyed seeing some now-worth-$75,000 guitars in these movies. Gibson, Danelectro, etc......I wonder who owns them now...... Jim
October 22, 201014 yr I don't know about others, but I'm continually learning more about Elvis all the time Jim, I have a friend, Dave, who compiled a pretty comprehensive list of all the songs Elvis either recorded or sang live, including one liners and I did post a link to it before, but it was ages ago, so I thought I'd post the list again. It was a lot of hard work to compile, but it is an amazing list :dance:  I'll do it in 2 parts as it's quite a long list Song title first followed by date. A - M 18 Yellow Roses rehearsals, July 1969 500 Miles home recording, Rocca Place, 1966-67 A Big Hunk O' Love studio, 10th June 1958 A Boy Like Me, A Girl Like You studio, 27th March 1962 A Cane And A High Starched Collar studio, 8th August, 1960 A Dog's Life studio, 27th July & 4th August 1965 A Fool Such As I studio, 10th June 1958 A House That Has Everything studio, 21st February 1967 A Hundred Years From Now studio, 4th June 1970 A Little Bit Of Green studio, 14th January 1969 A Little Less Conversation studio, 7th March 1968 A Mess Of Blues studio, 21st March 1960 A Thing Called Love studio, 19th May 1971 A Whistling Tune studio, 26th October 1961 A World Of Our Own studio, 22nd September 1962 Adam And Evil studio, 17th February 1966 After Loving You studio, 18th February 1969 Ain't No Sunshine rehearsals, January 1972 Ain't That Loving You Baby studio, 10th June 1958 Alfie (part) live, 20th February 1973 All I Needed Was The Rain studio, 1st October 1967 All Shook Up studio, 12th January 1957 All That I Am studio, 17th February 1966 Alla' En El "Rancho Grande" studio rehearsal, 15th July 1970 Almost studio, 23rd October 1968 Almost Always True studio, 22nd March 1961 Almost In Love studio, 7th & 11th March 1968 Almost Lost My Mind home recording, Rocca Place, 1966-67 Aloha Oe studio, 21st March 1961 Along Came Jones (excerpt) live 19th & 21st August 1970 Alright, Okay, You Win live 29th September 1974 Always On My Mind studio, 29th March 1972 Am I Ready? studio, 16th February 1966 Am I That Easy To Forget?(1 line) during a take of If I'm A Fool (For Loving You) Amazing Grace studio, 15th March 1971 Amen live (various shows) America The Beautiful live (various shows) An American Trilogy live (various shows) An Evening Prayer studio, 18th May 1971 And I Love You So studio, 11th March 1975 And I Tell The Sea (scheduled for cancelled August 22-23 1967 studio session) NO KNOWN RECORDING EXISTS And The Grass Won't Pay No Mind studio, 18th February 1969 Angel studio, 2nd July 1961 Animal Instinct studio, 25th February 1965 Any Day Now studio, 21st February 1969 Anyone (Could Fall In Love With You) studio, 30th September 1963 Anyplace Is Paradise studio, 2nd September 1956 Anything That's Part Of You studio, 15th October 1961 Anyway You Want Me (That's How I Will Be) studio, 2nd July 1956 Appreciation (performed by Ann Margret) studio, 28th August 1963 Apron Strings home recording, Bad Nauheim, Germany, November 1959 Are You Lonesome Tonight? studio, 4th April 1960 Are You Sincere? studio, 23rd September 1973 As Long As I Have You studio, 16th January 1958 As We Travel Along On The Jericho Road MDQ session, 4th December 1956 Ask Me studio, 27th May 1963 At The End Of The Road (Jerry Lee Lewis) MDQ session, 4th December 1956 At The Hop home recording, Bad Nauheim, Germany, November 1959 Aubrey (performed by Voice with Elvis reciting the words) live 2nd September 1974 Auld Lang Syne live, 1st January 1977, Civic Arena, Pittsburgh Ave Maria live 1970 (various shows) Baby Don't Ya Know home recording, Eddie Fadal's House, 1958 Baby I Don't Care studio, 3rd & 8th May 1957 Baby Let's Play House studio, February 1955 Baby, If You Give Me All Of Your Love studio, 14th July 1966 Baby What You Want Me To Do NBC Studios, June 25th - 29th 1968 Bad Moon Rising live 23rd June 1973 (reportedly) Barefoot Ballad studio, 30th September 1963 Be My Love home recording, Rocca Place, 1966-67 Beach Boy Blues studio, 23rd March 1961 Beach Shack studio, 16th February 1966 Because Of Love studio, 27th March 1962 Beginner's Luck studio 12-13th May 1965 Beyond The Bend studio, 22nd September 1962 Beyond The Reef studio, 27th May 1966 Big Boots studio, 28th April 1960 Big Boss Man studio, 10th September 1967 Big Love, Big Heartache studio, 3rd March 1964 Bitter They Are, Harder They Fall studio, 2nd February 1976 Black Bottom Stomp (aka Jerry's Boogie - Jerry Lee Lewis lead vocal) MDQ session, 4th December 1956 Black Star studio, 8th August, 1960 Blessed Jesus, Hold My Hand MDQ session, 4th December 1956 Blowin' In The Wind home recording, Rocca Place, 1966-67 Blue Christmas studio, 5th September 1957 Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain studio, 7th February 1976 Blue Hawaii studio, 22nd March 1961 Blue Moon studio, 19th August 1954 Blue Moon Of Kentucky studio, 6th July 1976 Blue River studio, 27th May 1963 Blue Suede Shoes studio, 30th January 1956 Blue Suede Shoes (G.I.

October 24, 201014 yr Author Wow! It's amazing he(EP) could even speak after all that! My vocal cords get tired after just humming "Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello"! One question: Does anyone on here actually own a copy of -EVERY- song on that list? That would be something......
October 25, 201014 yr Wow! It's amazing he(EP) could even speak after all that! My vocal cords get tired after just humming "Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello"! One question: Does anyone on here actually own a copy of -EVERY- song on that list? That would be something......   I can honestly say, that between myself and my partner that we have the majority of that list. I would say probably 98.5% :yahoo: :cheer:
October 27, 201014 yr Author Not bad! I am collecting vintage vinyl still.(budget permitting!) I would enjoy hearing about vinyl collections. Whatcha got on vinyl? Jim A footnote: I find myself liking to listen to my fav. artists on vinyl lately(not just Elvis). De-click software is so good now(I use Acoustica Spin It Again). I'll play an LP while in real time the software removes the noise and my PC line out goes to a 12ch mixer to my reciever. Anyone else prefer the sound of vinyl to CD's? Things just sound FATTER with vinyl. Jim
