If Sony/Bmg want new Elvis fans to buy Elvis Albums then heres what they need to do.
they need to release All Of his Album's durning his left time-(even though ftd is all ready doing this with new tracks of unreleased goodies)-because this way the could here some of his best work that Elvis ever did. Release his deleted lps with bounds track just keep them has they were and use original track list and songs. and set back and see what happend. Oh yeah they can use the new sound on them has well. |

It would be much better than just re- re- re- re- re- re- re- re- re- re- re- re- re- re- re- re- reeleasing the same greatest hits cds.
People NEED something different and if an artist cannot create something new, with Elvis they could release the old albums (with some extras) to the general public. I think it would work. -------------------- I'd rather go on hearing your lies....than smell your armpits son

They've done that already and I think it doesn't work .....................anymore ! In the last few years only the boxsets contained "new/unreleased" material, everything else is the same in a new jacket ... we get one in the winter, in the spring, the summer and finally in the autumn ... you choose the jacket you like best ! There is simply nothing anymore that can be released mainstrean which hasn't been released in any form before. -------------------- "How do I get placed in situations like this?

In that case stefan...they are NOT doing/ did NOT do it the right way.
Did you know that I knew about many bootlegs about a year before I realised the existance of the Madison and Memphis shows on RCA? Maybe because i wasn't born when they were released on LP....but you hardly find these anywhere. Same goes for any other of these releases. Heck you find loads and loads and loads of greatest hits cd's anywhere here.......I wonder what the problem is. -------------------- I'd rather go on hearing your lies....than smell your armpits son

Problem is what it is since March '73 (sell out back catalogue): Promotion !
The only thing they have to do is: a) release quality stuff b) package it the right way (accurate pictures, good liner notes etc etc) c) PROMOTE the damn thing worldwide with TV adverts, newspaper adverts, local adverts ... I think the above would work a little better than what they are doing for the last 10 years ! It sometime seems like they still have to release 3-4 albums a year, just like when Elvis was alive and every album after '70 was direct competition for the album that came before and next. -------------------- "How do I get placed in situations like this?

I don't know why Elvis sold his catalogue prior to 1973 other than short of cash. Nothing has been re-released again since 1973. It looks like they sold the rights to re- release anything recorded before 1973. All we get is flipping greatests hits albums by the dozen. The fans are fedup with greatests hits albums. The one album I like to re-released again is the UK album Flaming Star & Summer Kisses from 65-66. This is the only one never re-released.

Was it sold because of the Colonel's gambling back then?

(IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/whistling.gif) At first they did indeed. Later on when a lawyer got involved it got a bit nasty. Don't have the details at hand right now, but will see if I can find them somewehere as I've read them in book aswell as on the internet. -------------------- "How do I get placed in situations like this?

On August 15th 1972 Elvis and Priscilla both signed an agreement.
It says: "It is understood and agreed that it is the intention of the parties to devide their community assets equally and that that the $ 100.000,00 to be received by wife shall be tax free for her. In the event any claim is made hereafter either by the Federal Goverment or State of California. Husband agrees to defend some and hold wife harmless of any liberty thereon to pay any taxes which may hereafter be assessed" Orginial agreement: (IMG:http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y180/imleaving/020811elvis_divorce.jpg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After lawyer's intreference in '73 Priscilla got away in the end with: $ 750.000,00 cash and for a period of 10 years $6000 (Alimony) and $4000 (child support) a month. -------------------- "How do I get placed in situations like this?
