July FTD News from Ernst Jørgensen:

Many of our customers have asked to have information about new releases as early as possible. Consequently we hereby publish the information about the July 2008 releases. As they are all work in progress, this is just basic information. Track listings and cover art is not ready yet.

 

'AMERICA' - A soundboard release from April 1976, with the body of the recordings being from the Omaha show.

 

'MEMPHIS TENNESSEE (The Lost Album)' - 2 CD version in our Classic Album series (7" digipack with booklet).

 

'LOVE LETTERS FROM ELVIS' - 2 CD version in our Classic Album series (7" digipack with booklet).

 

EIN notes:

 

- The featured 1976 concert on 'America' is a totally new unreleased soundboard from Omaha 22nd April 1976. The local newspaper at the time reviewed it as a fine concert with the headline 'King Elvis Still Classy' and noting, "During the concert Presley mixed patriotism, religion, sex and self-parody in a way that's as seductive as ever".

 

- Elvis' 1963 "lost album" was to be the follow-up to the #1 'Pot Luck' album, but was shelved in favour of the better-selling movie soundtrack LPs. It was first released in the UK in 1991 with the title of 'For The Asking'. Here is the tracklist in case anyone has forgotten.

1. It's A Long Lonely Highway

2. Western Union

3. Witchcraft

4. Love Me Tonight

5. What Now What Next Where To

6. Please Don't Drag That String Around

7. Blue River

9. Devil In Disguise

10. Finders Keepers

11. Echoes Of Love

One sad thing I hear, though, is that from August, Woolworths will no longer be selling CD singles apart from the occasional special one-off :blink:
