For the FTD releases of his soundtracks, have they been remixed and remastered? For example, on streaming, the mix for Harum Scarum or Frankie and Johnny, leaves a lot to be desired. Have they gone back and given them some TLC?

I would appreciate a little guidance.

I picked up two Elvis CDs: Memories-The 68 Comeback Special and Tiger Man. Both these CDs were released in 1998.

I know there were two sit down shows at the 1968 Elvis Singer Special. The 6pm show and the 8pm show.

(I hate calling it the “Comeback” special. The guy never really went away.)

Tiger Man is apparently the 8pm live show.

Memories has two CDs. The first CD is for the TV special proper with a lot of that music. The second CD is from one of the live sit down shows.

There is a lot of track duplication between Memories disc 2 and Tiger Man. But it says on Memories disc 2 that most of these tracks were never released before. Both discs were released in 1998 so it’s hard to determine which came first.

So are the tracks on Memories disc 2 from the first sit down show? Were they alternate takes from the second show? Or are they just duplications of the same tracks already released on Tiger Man?

Thank you, everyone.

A close second is “Elvis Is Back!”

finally got is finished! based on one of my favourite photos of him.

​I saw this prompt used for another celebrity recently and immediately thought of Elvis. Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts. Wat would you pick and why?

looking for y’all’s opinion on these, they took me like 2-3 hours to do

I just found out that Sun Studio still operates as a studio past 5pm every day of the week. They still got the RCA ribbon mics and the tape machine used for the classic slap back sound. I had no idea it was still a recording studio, pretty freaking cool!

Mine is the Monopoly version of Elvis as some of the spaces on the board are places that he has lived or been in such as Graceland, Ed Sullivan Show, etc.

Is the one with foreword by Baz Luhrmann simply a re-release for when the Elvis movie came out, or are they totally different books?

"Mystery Train — how Elvis Presley turned Junior Parker’s 1953 track into a hit

The song went on to have a resounding impact on pop music, and popular culture".

If Elvis saw Lilo and Stitch, would he like it?

I know he loved movies, but I'm wondering if he would have thought it's too silly or even making fun of him? Or would he have loved it because he enjoyed childish fun sometimes?

I also know he didn't like listening to his own music though.

(Personally, I love the movie. I think it's heartwarming and funny, and anything with Elvis is improved in my opinion.)

One thing I'm thinking about, is that Lilo and Stitch is different from his movies -- he hated those, every Elvis fan knows that -- he wanted them to be serious, not silly. But I think Lilo and Stitch might be held to a different standard because it's supposed to be silly and pulls that off well. And it shows that we still value Elvis so much years later. So maybe he would like it. Not sure.

Friend found this for me after going through some old boxes of cards. Pretty cool.

I went to Madame Tussauds in Singapore where I was little in Singapore during a trip and me and my parents came across an Elvis Presley wax figure of him from Aloha from Hawaii via satellite. My dad took a picture with him complete with accessories but I didn't get a photo of me with the wax figure.

Hey guys, I'm planning to go to Graceland in late April/start of May and I had 2 questions:

1 - How long does it take to visit everything (mansion, exhibitions private jet,...)? I've read many answers but I'd like to know if everything is doable in 1 full day.

2 - Since I'm planning this in 2027, does anyone know if there will be some special things at the exhibition or else for the 50th Elvis death anniversary?

Thanks!

I think it's hilarious when he gets in ridiculous brawls and it happens in almost of his movies. My favorite moment is when Elvis punches a guy in Speedway, causing him to slide 40 feet back into an elevator and the guy in the elevator says "what floor buddy?" It was one of the first movies of his that I saw and it made me laugh out loud.

I know it’s a long shot but years ago on SiriusXM I heard an Elvis song on the Elvis station that was Country. I never was able to get the name of it but there was a lyric that said something to the equivalent of “That El Cajon Son of a B*****.” The song was about another man trying to take this woman away from Elvis. I think the reference was about the Bostonia Ball Room. I’ve searched for years trying to find out what song this is, does anyone have any ideas or know what song this is. It’s a mid to fast tempo song.

Edit:

It definitely could have been a rehearsal track or even a private session. I don’t think it was ever officially recorded or released. Maybe a vault track?

I just took the Elvis "quiz" on Spotify. There are some easy questions and a couple of obscure ones but not a problem for a big fan.

Let me know how you do.

I like him in Flaming Star, Charro!, and Love Me Tender

I know Ray Charles and Quincy Jones didn’t like Elvis so maybe it wouldn’t happen

As above.
