24 HOURS WITH ELVIS - Hospitals around the UK will be in for a real Elvis-Fest on Christmas Day this year as the 'UK Health Radio' channel will be dedicating 24 hours of airtime exclusively to the music of Elvis. The station management have asked if I (Lee) would be willing to help out on the epic broadcast and I of course agreed to help out, and so you can catch 24 hours of Elvis and make your Christmas Day One fantastic Elvis treat.

There is no-one more than me who wished this rumour were true. However, apart from the Gold certifications due for 'Christmas Duets' and 'An Afternoon In The Garden' plus the Platinum upgrade for 'The Essential Elvis Presley' I cannot see how it could be. Ernst Jorgensen is the person responsible for tabulating Elvis' sales figures together with Sony (U.S.A.) and then submitting them to Gelfand, Renert and Feldman (Auditors) prior to these Awards being ratified with the RIAA. To date Ernst has no knowledge whatsoever of any such new awards or certification upgrades apart from those I have already listed above. Of course the information regarding the possibility of the RIAA introducing a new 'Silver' Album Award for 300,000 sales is a distinct possibility. Brian :(

Just received some excellent news. A repeat showing of 'The Nations Favourite Elvis Song' TV Programme will be aired over the Christmas period. Should be another sales boost for the album. Brian B-)
