FTD-News

Das ist zwar schon wirklich lange, sehr lange überfällig, aber gut, besser spät als nie. Hoffentlich wird´s was informatives und nicht nur ´ne Auflistung aller CDs...

Ernst Jorgensen on 1970-71 soundboards: According to a post on the FECC board, Ernst Jorgensen has told Ciscoking that Sony BMG DOES NOT have any Elvis soundboards from Elvis’ September 1970 tour or any soundboards of Elvis in Lake Tahoe in 1971.
EIN sees this as a disappointment since Elvis' September 1970 tour was by all accounts spectacular. Joe Tunzi's 'Elvis Sessions 3' list several concerts that he believes were recorded to Soundboard from that particular tour.
Ernst went on to say (in the context of the Huntsville, Alabama shows) he does not consider what the bootleg labels issue in making his decisions about FTD releases.
When EIN recently asked Ernst about the Madison label bootleg releases of Elvis' 'On Tour' Standing Room Only series - which coincided badly with FTD's release of the same material - Ernst stated that "it certainly does not infuriate me - it may infuriate SONY."
Showing a nice sense of humour Ernst also joked,"Bootleggers don't send me samples"!


Abwarten,ob es wirklich so ist......

Wie ich hörte, wird FTD die Show vom 13. August 1970 veröffentlichen (natürlich in besserer Qualität als auf der "The Complete Works"- Box).

Geil, schon wieder besser als die Bootlegger.

Tolle CD, mein Freund, muss ich haben!

Back in July, EPE informed us that on August 15th, Ernst Jorgensen and a SONY Executive will be addressing fans to inform us of the future music projects. So what was the news? Was it that the proposed 'Rock Duets' album is soon to be released?

Or news of the long awaited 'Sun Box'? No, instead, Ernst revealed to the fans that in 2 weeks he will be announcing what the next title will be in the 'Classic Album' series, on the FTD label. And that another FTD release will be the August 1974 rehearsal from which 'The Twelfth Of Never' was taken from.

This rehearsal was first issued on a bootleg around 15 years ago, but according to our source, FTD has the original tape and the sound will be far superior to what has come before it.

So, there we have it....news well worth the wait huh?

Da bin ich mal auf die Qualität gespannt und ob ein paar mehr oder wenigstens 1 Song mehr drauf sein wird.

Hört sich doch gut an (positiv denken...positiv denken...positiv denken).

Vinyl-Release angekündigt?

SEPTEMBER

1. FOLLOW THAT DREAM will simultaneously release two new albums in mid-September.

There is no IN AND OUTTAKES section to the booklet, as <span style='color:red'>FTD will be releasing JAILHOUSE ROCK VOL. 2 next year</span>, and it will make more sense to have this section when the entire intended repertoire content is released.

NOVEMBER

There will be 4 releases around November 1.

1. “GOOD TIMES”

1) GOOD TIMES is a 2-disc set in the classic album series. Originally released in 1974, this great album featured the legendary “Good Time Charlie’s Got The Blues”, “My Boy” and “I’ve Got A Thing About You Baby”. In addition to the masters, it will contain many great outtakes from the Stax Sessions of 1973. The package features the 7” inch digipack format with 12-page booklet.

2) ROCKIN’ ACROSS TEXAS will be released as a 2-CD set without the book that is now deleted. The 2 disc set features Elvis live in Amarillo, Texas at The Civic Center, June 19, 1974 and in Fort Worth, Texas at Tarrant County Convention Center, Recorded July 3, 1976.

4. “THE JUNGLE ROOM SESSIONS”

A Limited Edition – 2 Disc 180-Gram Vinyl Set


FTD Vinyl next release is a limited edition 2-Disc vinyl set of THE JUNGLE ROOM SESSIONS. Supplied in a new gatefold sleeve featuring additional Graceland images, it will be pressed on 180-gram vinyl and DMM Copper mastered at Abbey Road Studios,London.

JAILHOUSE ROCK is a 2-disc set in the classic album series. DISC 1 features one disc of masters, alternate masters, movie masters and a few bonus cuts in mono. DISC 2 consists of session takes – all in binaural. The package features the 7” inch digipack format with 12-page booklet.

There is no IN AND OUTTAKES section to the booklet, as FTD will be releasing JAILHOUSE ROCK VOL. 2 next year, and it will make more sense to have this section when the entire intended repertoire content is released.

Kann mir mal jemand den 2.satz erklären.....also was soll auf Vol.2 schon draufsein, wenn es auch auf vol1 (auf cd2) schon outtakes gibt?

kann mir das mal jemand ernsthaft erklären, wie das gemeint sein könnte?

So nach dem Motto "auf Vol2" im nächsten Jahr werden tonnen von outtakes sein, dass es keinen sinn macht auf "Vol.1" schon das booklet mit "in and outtakes" zu machen, da es sehr unvollständig wäre?
