March 24th 2012 TOM JONES SPINS ANOTHER TALE - The Welsh warbler has done it again...As a judge on the new UK music talent show, ‘The Voice’, it wasn’t long before old Jonesy boy was revealing another new story about Elvis. This time Tom told of how one day in the 1960s Elvis invited him to Graceland and so he arrives in Memphis and heads on over to Graceland. When he arrived he was met by Priscilla but no Elvis and so he asked her where he was? He claims that Elvis had suddenly remembered that he had no guitars in the house (yep, not a single guitar at Graceland). Anyway, the tale never stopped there and Jones went on to say...”and so, Elvis drove to a music store and told the girl behind the counter that Tom Jones was coming over and I have no guitars at home. And so he bought a couple. Article courtesy of www.elvis-express.com/ Brian :blink:

Here we go again!!!!!!! Brian :blink: Rare Elvis Presley Acetate Recordings from His Hollywood Movies Have Been Discovered by The Rare Collections Tyler, TX, March 22, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Rare Elvis Presley Acetate Recordings from his Hollywood movies have been discovered by The Rare Collections. The collection features movie studio recordings of songs from the Elvis Presley movies; Follow That Dream (1962), Kid Galahad (1962), Flaming Star (1960) and Love Me Tender (1956). The recordings were discovered in a private collection in Orange County, California and are available for sale through The Rare Collections. Acetate recordings were lathe-cut during the early stages of production. Changes were often made before the final versions were completed, therefore recordings often differ from the released versions and can include alternative takes, varied mixes, altered lengths, differing lyrics and altered tempos. These rare recordings have been tucked away for over fifty years and were passed from friends and relatives in the industry to The Rare Collections to help realize their value. The collection includes several working titles printed on the acetate labels when the ultimate title had not been decided. One example within the collection is The Reno Brothers, which later became Elvis’ first film Love Me Tender. Another shows a title as There’s a Leak in This Old Building, which are lyrics to the tune We’re Gonna Move. Acetates with such discrepancies are among the most desirable among collectors. Prices on such unique items vary dramatically, but similar Elvis acetates have sold for as little as $100 to well over $1,000 each. The most valuable Elvis acetates known to exist are his first two personal recordings; the august 1953 My Happiness backed with That’s When Your Heartaches Begin, and his early 1954 I’ll Never Stand in Your Way. Before being commercially issued by RCA/BMG on CD, offers of over $100,000.00 were made for these discs. This particular collection of rare Elvis Presley acetate records is being offered for sale in whole or part to serious collectors through The Rare Collections. Collectors can contact Andrew Kirby, executive producer of The Rare Collections, for more information via the web at www.TheRareCollections.com or telephone at 903-345-IBUY. The Rare Collections is where top collectors turn to archive, preserve, appraise and disperse their most prized pieces of pop culture memorabilia. We help collectors tell the stories behind each treasure, understand its importance in history and decide how best to preserve its legacy or realize its value.

I agree entirely. Brian

What a night at Wembley. Absolutely amazing and easily the best 'Elvis In Concert' I have ever attended. The sound has now been perfected after twelve years. The drums were fantastic. I spoke with the sound engineer during the Interval and congratulated him. The crowd reaction was also the BEST EVER - everybody standing, shouting, screaming, waving arms, dancing. Elvis dead. Don't you believe it. He will NEVER leave the building!!!!!!!!! Brian :yahoo: :dance: :yahoo:

Reviews: Elvis Presley in Concert, Motorpoint Arena Published in The Sheffield Star on Monday 12 March 2012 10:08 Maybe it was ‘one more time’ too many for Elvis fans. For though the King was in the building some 35 years after his untimely death, sadly the audience was thin on the ground. The last time Elvis Presley in Concert rock and rolled into town, there was barely an empty seat. Yet the die-hards who did rock up at the Motorpoint Arena had a hugely memorable night. Presley larged it on huge, state-of-the-art video screens as ageing and uber-talented members of the original Taking Care of Business band accompanied him live, just as they had done 40 years ago. We got Presley, frozen in time at his best; handsome and strong, slender in body and huge in voice, throwing everything into his white-suited concert performances. He opened with Easy Rider, burst into Burning Love and on top of his biggest hits, he rock and rolled through the lesser-heard blues and gospel numbers he had held dear. Ballads were so emotionally performed, tears pricked your eyes. American Trilogy was his most emotive, but Elvis’s heart-stoppingly beautiful version of Simon and Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water was the one that did it for me. I ended up lost in that amazing voice. The charisma of a man long since gone, is still marching on. JO DAVISON Brian B-)
