October 11, 2013 HMV RELAUNCH & ELVIS TREASURE - Strictly limited edition vinyl records are being given away FREE next week at HMV's flagship new store at Oxford Street in London and one will be our man Elvis. Records by Elvis Presley, The Beatles and New Order will be available each day next week at the retailer's newly-reopened shop on 363 Oxford Street on a first-come-first-served basis when doors open at 8am. A limited colour pressing of Elvis Presley's eponymous 1956 debut album will be given away on Tuesday (October 15) with only 100 copies being pressed. This is one release I would love to get but sadly not being in London and my position, this is one fan out of the running. I'd like to wish all our London listeners and fellow fans the very best of luck in your attempt to grab a copy and I only hope that the fans who want this for it's uniqueness to add to their collections are the lucky ones and not those with the sole purpose of "Must grab and must sell for HUGE ££££££".

"Elvis Presley in Concert," the worldwide popular production, has just announced two new shows in Chile featuring special guest Priscilla Presley! The new dates will take place at the Teatro Caupolican in Santiago, Chile on Sunday, November 3 and Monday, November 4. Tickets go on sale Sunday, October 5, and Elvis fans can purchase these tickets by visiting TeatroCaupolican.cl. Priscilla will join various Elvis Presley band members, including Elvis' conductor Joe Guercio, plus members of the TCB band, Sweet Inspirations and The Imperials, all onstage while interacting with Elvis on screen. Elvis concert footage for the show comes primarily from material shot for the MGM concert films "Elvis, That's The Way It Is" (1970) and "Elvis on Tour" (1972) and from the historic 1973 global television special "Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii, via Satellite." In his lifetime, Elvis' only concerts outside the United States were five shows in three Canadian cities in 1957. A world tour was an unrequited dream for Elvis and his fans. Elvis fans, new audiences and even the most cynical of critics have been thoroughly wowed by this multi-media event since 1998. Purchase your tickets to the recently announced shows in Chile on Sunday, October 5, by visiting TeatroCaupolican.cl. Also, see a complete schedule of the "Elvis Presley in Concert" shows coming to South America by viewing the tour dates online here. Brian B-)

Tilly, Around 9th November or thereabouts. SONY (UK) are going to give this a big push and are hoping for a Top 10. I hope all Elvis fans buy a few copies of this, especially as it is near Christmas and would make excellent presents. Brian

According to a report on the Web, there will be 5 'new' songs on the October Brazilian Tour of 'Elvis In Concert' including 'Love Me' and 'Little Sister'. However, 'Love Me' was featured on the 2005 European Tour. According to Jack Soden, " currently , the Facebook page Elvis , South America ranks third in the number of international fans , behind only the United Kingdom and Mexico, and this allows us to share the life of Elvis and his legacy with them ." Bearing this in mind, could the concert tour Mexico next? Brian

'Elvis Presley - On Stage' to tour the UK in April / May 2014. This new announced UK tour will be without the original TCB band, but will be joined with all new musicians/singers helping to keep Elvis rocking concert arena's around the country. There is no additional news of whether or not there will be any European tour dates being added? It is not yet known if the new tour will follow the same format as before, or will the new band members be bringing more performances to life by way of 50's TV performances, Movie songs and of course 70's live songs? Whatever the set-list, I'm sure Elvis fans across England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales will be coming out to enjoy the closest thing to experiencing Elvis 'Live'. For past concert tours, EPE and Stig Edgren have booked it into the large arenas. This time around it will play in smaller venues with a larger geographical reach thus giving more fans a chance to see it, especially those who cannot afford to travel or those with medical issues.
