Burbank 68
1999 • Rehearsal/live fra ’68 Comeback Special.
Burbank 68 udkom i sommeren 1999, og var den første udgivelse fra det dengang helt nye Follow That Dream Collectors Label. Indholdet var naturligvis materiale fra ”’68 Comeback Special”, og ud af de 23 numre på CD’en, havde 14 af dem aldrig før været udgivet. Indholdet bestod af det (næsten) komplette ‘Stand-up’ Show fra den 29. juni 1968 kl. 6 PM, den komplette dressing room rehearsal fra den 25. juni 1968, samt et par enkelte studio outtakes. Det mest interessante var prøverne optaget i Elvis’ omklædningsrum, som ingen nogensinde havde hørt før denne udgivelse. Ikke engang på bootlegs havde det været udgivet. Der gik i årevis rygter om at sange som ”Blue Moon Of Kentucky” skulle være blevet optaget under prøver i 1968, og her var den så endelig. ’Stand-up’ showet havde været ude på bootlegs i flere år, men dette var første gang det blev officielt udgivet, og endelig i flot lydkvalitet fra de oprindelige bånd.
I dag er indholdet ikke så sjældent længere, da det er blevet genudgivet hele to gange på mainstream produkter fra Sony. I 2008 på 40 års boksen for ’68 Comeback Special og i 2018 på 50 års boksen for samme show. Sidstnævnte kan du endda finde på Spotify.
Dress rehearsal 25. juni 1968:
Danny boy (Instrumental) – Baby what you want me to do (Instrumental) – Love me – Tiger man – Dialogue with Steve Binder – Lawdy miss Clawdy – One night – Blue Christmas – Baby what you want me to do – When my blue moon turns to gold again – Blue moon of Kentucky – Elvis dialogue 2
29. juni 1968, 8 PM stand-up show:
Heartbreak hotel – Hound dog – All shook up – Can’t help falling in love – Jailhouse rock – Don’t be cruel – Love me tender – Blue suede shoes – Trouble/guitar man
30. juni 1968, studio outtakes:
If I can dream (alternate vocal take splice) – Let yourself go (Instrumental)
Out In Hollywood
1999 • Studio outtakes af film sange
Out In Hollywood udkom i oktober 1999 og var den anden udgivelse fra Follow That Dream. Indeholdet bestod af outtakes af filmsange, som aldrig før havde været udgivet. Det er en fremragende opsamling, hvis man er til filmsange, der også indeholder lidt mere sjældne numre. Blandt perlerne er ”Frankie & Johnny” og Elvis’ isolerede vokal til ”Baby You’re So Square” fra “Jailhouse Rock”.
Mexico (take 7) – Cross My Heart And Hope To Die (take 6) – Wild In The Country (take 11) – Adam And Evil (take 16) – Lonely Man (take 4) – Thanks To The Rolling Sea (take 3) – Where Do You Come From (take 13) – King Of The Whole Wide World (take 3) – Little Egypt (take 21) – Wonderful World (take 7) – This Is My Heaven (Vocal overdub take 4) – Spinout (take 2) – All That I Am (take 2) – We’ll Be Together (take 10) – Frankie And Johnny (take 1) – I Need Somebody To Lean On (take 8) – The Meanest Girl In Town (take 9) – Night Life (take 3) – Puppet On A String (take 7) – Hey Little Girl (take 1 & 2) – Edge Of Reality (take 6) – Baby I Don’t Care (vocal overdub take 6)
In A Private Moment
2000 • Home recordings
In A Private Moment er den tredje udgivelse fra FTD. Den udkom i starten af år 2000, og som titlen antyder består indholdet af private indspilninger. Det er en afslappet superstjerne, i private omgivelser, der synger nogle af sine favoritnumre, sammen med sine nærmeste venner. Vi er så heldige i dag, at der var én der satte en båndoptager til at optage, og båndene blev gemt på Graceland. På denne CD er der både optagelser fra Tyskland i 1959 og fra Elvis’ hjem i Malibu i 1960 og 1966. Lydkvaliteten er ikke i top, men man kan sagtens nyde disse sjældne numre alligevel. Netop det faktum at Elvis aldrig indspillede de fleste af disse numre professionelt, gør dem helt unikke. Nogle af højdepunkterne er Danny Boy, I’m Beginning To Forget You, If I Loved You, Hide Thou Me og Bob Dylans Blowin’ In The Wind.
Denne udgivelse var desuden en slags efterfølger til The Home Recordings, som RCA/BMG udgav som mainstream CD i 1998.
Loving You – Danny Boy – I’m Beginning To Forget You – Beyond The Reef – Sweet Leilani – If I Loved You – Lawdy Miss Clawdy – I Wonder, I Wonder, I Wonder – He – When The Swallows Come Back To Capistrano – She Wears My Ring – Sweet Lealani (alt take) – Moonlight Sonata – Blue Hawaii – Hide Thou Me – Oh How I Love Jesus – Fools Rush In – Its A Sin To Tell A Lie – What Now My Love – Blowin’ In The Wind – 500 Miles – I, John – I’ll Take You Home Again, Kathleen (Fast) – I Will Be True – Apron Strings – It’s Been So Long Darling – I’ll Take You Home Again, Kathleen (Slow) – There’s No Tomorrow – Number Eight
The Jungle Room Sessions
2000 • Studio outtakes af Graceland sessions
Denne CD er mange gange blevet kaldt for én af de bedste, hvis ikke dén bedste, FTD udgivelse nogensinde. Da den blev udgivet i starten af år 2000, var der aldrig rigtig sluppet nogle outtakes ud fra disse sidste recording sessions på Graceland. Så da denne CD blev udgivet var hele 13 ud af de 16 numre aldrig udgivet før. En af de helt ukendte numre var Jerry Sheffs Fire Down Below, som Elvis dog aldrig nåede at indspille en vokal til. Og som en ekstra bonus kan man til slut på CD’en høre det eneste lille brudstykke af studieindspilningen af America der eksisterer. Elvis indspillede nummeret, men brød sig ikke om det, så man valgte at slette det og genbruge båndet…
Der havde længe gået rygter om at outtakes fra disse Graceland sessions ville blive udgivet som en afslutning på Essential Elvis serien. Men i stedet blev de nu udgivet på FTD lablen.
Graceland session, 2. – 7. februar 1976:
Bitter They Are, Harder They Fall (alt. takes 2-5) – She Thinks I Still Care (alt. take 2A) – The Last Farewell (alternate take 2) – Solitaire (alt. take 3) – I’ll Never Fall In Love Again (alt. take 5) – Moody Blue (alt. take 3) – For The Heart (alt. take 2 & 3) – Hurt (alt. take 3) – Danny Boy (alt. take 8) – Never Again (alt. take take 11) – Love Coming Down (alt. take 2 ) – Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain (alt. take 2)
Graceland session, 29. – 30. oktober 1976:
It’s Easy For You (alt. take 1) – Way Down (alt. take 2) – Pledging My Love (un-edited master)- He’ll Have To Go (rough mix-master) – Fire Down Below (instrumental)
Long Lonely Highway
2000 • Studio outtakes af 60’er sessions
Den femte FTD udgivelse indeholdte outtakes fra Nashville indspilninger fra årene 1960 og helt op til 1968. Da den blev udgivet i foråret 2000 var hele 18 af numrene aldrig før udgivet. Det er en fin lille samling outtakes af Elvis’ bedre 60’er sange. Men stadig nogle numre som man måske nemt overser en smule. Nogle af højdepunkterne for mig er It Feels So Right, By And By, hvor jeg er vild med deres fjollerier før de går i gang. Guitar Man, som bare swinger for vildt. Too Much Monkey Business, hvor man forsøger sig med en el-guitar i stedet for den akustiske guitar som det ender med på den færdige master.
It’s Now or Never (take 1) / A Mess Of Blues (take 1) / It Feels So Right (take 2) / I’m Yours (take 2) / Anything That’s Part of You (take 2) / Just For Old Time Sake (take 1) / You’ll Be Gone (take 4) / I Feel That I’ve Known You Forever (take 3) / Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello (take 5) / She’s Not You (takes 1 & 2) / Devil In Disguise (takes 2 & 3) / Never Ending (take 1) / Finders Keepers Losers Weepers (take 1) / Long Lonely Highway (single master) (take 1) / Slowly But Surely (take 1) / By And By (take 4) / Fools Fall In Love (take 4) / Come What May (stereo master) (take 8) / Guitar Man (take 10) / Singing Tree (unused master) (take 13) / Too Much Monkey Business (take 9) / Stay Away (slow version)
Tucson 76
2000 • Soundboard koncert
Dette er første gang at FTD forsøger sig med at udgive en koncert optaget fra soundboard. Grunden til at man valgte denne koncert fra den 1. juni 1976, er at Elvis er i godt humør og koncerten indeholder nogle overraskende sangvalg. Op til Hurt er det en typisk 1976 setliste vi hører, men derefter bliver det lidt specielt. Elvis vælger at give en rockin’ udgave af Burning Love, et nummer som han ellers aldrig har været særlig begejstret for. Herefter er der nogle fans i salen der ønsker For The Good Times, men Elvis forslår om det er ok at at synger Help Me Make It Through The Night i stedet for. Den giver han en forrygende version af. Derefter kommer der efterspørgsler på The Last Farewell fra hans nyeste album, men Elvis’ kommentar er blot: ”I wish I knew it”, hvorefter han synger de første linjer af Danny Boy. Det sjove er så at han spørger publikum lidt undrende om Danny Boy er med på hans nye album. Lidt komisk når han nu står angivet som executive producer på albummet. Efter small talk med publikum giver han en flot version af Danny Boy, som vist nok er den eneste live version der findes.
See See Rider – I Got A Woman/Amen – Love Me – If You Love Me (Let Me Know) – You Gave Me A Mountain – Polk Salad Annie – All Shook Up/Teddy Bear – Help Me Make It Through The Night – Jailhouse Rock – Fever – Intro of Band – Love Letters – Hurt – Burning Love – Funny How Time Slips Away – One Night – Danny Boy – Mystery Train/Tiger Man – Can’t Help Falling In Love
Optaget live i Tucson 1. juni 1976, borset fra See See Rider & Love Letters: optaget i Odessa 30. maj 1976
Too Much Monkey Business
2000 • Studio outtakes fra Felton Jarvis’ remake/remix sessions i 1980.
I November 2000 udgav FTD denne CD, som indeholder Felton Jarvis’ remixes fra 1980. Kun 10 af disse numre blev udgivet i 1981 på albummet Guitar Man. Dette er første gang at de officielt blev udgivet på CD. Desuden er de ti oprindelige numre nu suppleret med yderlige ti remixes, som aldrig før har været udgivet. CD’en starter med Burning Love og I’ll Be There, som ikke tidligere udgivet. Derefter kommer de 10 numre fra Guitar Man albummet, efterfulgt af yderligere 8 u-udgivne numre. Jeg har faktisk altid været lidt vild med det oprindelige Guitar Man album, måske er det fordi jeg har råspillet det som barn, fuldstændig intetanende om at det var remixes. Derimod har de ti andre numre aldrig rigtig fanget min interesse. Et nummer som Blue Suede Shoes, hvor vokalen er taget fra en live udgave fra ’69, skulle ikke have været eksperimenteret med. Selvom man fik selveste Carl Perkins til at indspille ny guitarspil, så fungerer det bare ikke. På Guitar Man nummeret var det Jerry Reed, som skrev nummeret og også spillede guitar på Elvis’ original version fra 1967, man fik til at indspille guitar på den nye version i 1980. Denne gang med en mere funky elguitar, end den oprindelige akustiske.
Burning Love – I’ll Be There – Guitar Man* – After Loving You* – Too Much Monkey Business* – Just Call Me Lonesome* – Loving Arms* – You Asked Me To* – Clean Up Your Own Backyard* – She Thinks I Still Care* – Faded Love* – I’m Movin’ On* – I’ll Hold You In My Heart – In The Ghetto – Long Black Limousine – Only The Strong Survive – Hey Jude – Kentucky Rain – If You Talk In Your Sleep – Blue Suede Shoes
*= fra det originale Guitar Man album 1981.
One Night In Vegas
2001 • Live koncert optaget på 16 spors bånd til That’s The Way It Is filmen.
I december år 2000 fik vi endnu en komplet koncert fra den 3. Vegas sæson, august-september 1970. Det var, som de fleste ved, i starten af denne sæson at MGM indspillede til filmen ”That’s The Way It Is”. Tidligere samme år havde BMG (som pladeselskabet hed dengang) udsendt midnats koncerten fra den 12. august, som den første komplette koncert fra denne sæson, på en tredobbelt CD med navnet ”That’s The Way It Is – Special Edition”. Her får vi så selve åbningskoncerten fra den 10. august. Dette er den eneste åbningskoncert der er optaget på 16 spors bånd. Alle andre åbningskoncerter er enten soundboard eller publikumsoptagelser. …og hvilken koncert dette er! Elvis er 100% i topform. Han giver virkelig sit bedste her. Sammen med bandet, som først nu er det ”TCB Band” som vi kender allerbedst, udfører han sangene så godt som aldrig før. Der er kun store roser til denne koncert. Efter selve koncerten har man valgt at udgivet nogle numre fra prøverne den 4. august. Det kan godt undre lidt at fx ”Bridge Over Troubled Water” fader ud midt i det hel. Som om at ”nu er der ikke plads til mere på CD’en”.
Flere år senere, da denne koncert blev genudgivet, kunne man høre at ”Introductions” var fjernet på denne FTD udgivelse. Men man havde simpelthen ikke de komplette bånd dengang i år 2000.
10. august 1970 opening show:
That’s All Right – Mystery Train/Tiger Man – I Can’t Stop Loving You – Love Me Tender – The Next Step Is Love – Words – I Just Can’t Help Believin’ – Something – Sweet Caroline – You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling – You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me – Polk Salad Annie – I’ve Lost You – Bridge Over Troubled Water – Patch It Up – Can’t Help Falling In Love
Rehearsal optaget den 4. august 1970:
Words – Cattle Call/Yodel – Twenty Days And Twenty Nights – You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me – Bridge Over Troubled Water
6363 Sunset
2001 • Studio outtakes fra RCA Studio C, 6363 Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood
I marts 2001 udkom endnu en perle med outtakes fra indspilninger i RCA’s Studio C i Hollywood, der har adresse på 6363 Sunset Boulevard. Deraf titlen på CD’en. Vi får først outtakes fra de sessions i 1972, der indeholdte sange som ”Always On My Mind” og Burning Love” Derefter kommer vi med under prøverne til ”Elvis On Tour” filmen, også i 1972. Til slut kan vi nyde nogle fantastiske outtakes fra marts 1975, hvor ”Today” albummet blev indspillet. Det var i øvrigt den sidste gang overhovedet at Elvis indspillede i et rigtigt studie. De allersidste indspilninger fra 1976 forgik som bekendt på Graceland.
Jeg synes bestemt at dette er en CD der er værd at lytte til. Det eneste lille minus skulle være, at man godt kunne have været foruden de ”jappede” udgaver af 50’er numrene fra ”On Tour” prøverne.
Outtakes fra 1972:
Always On My Mind (Take 3) – Burning Love (Take 2) – For The Good Times (Take 3) – Where Do I Go From Here (Take 6) – Fool (Take 1) – It’s A Matter Of Time (Alt. take) –
Rehearsals til Elvis On Tour, marts 1972:
See See Rider (Take 2) – Until It’s Time For You To Go – A Big Hunk O Love (Take 2) – All Shook Up – Heartbreak Hotel – Teddy Bear/Don’t Be Cruel – Can’t Help Falling In Love
Outtakes fra Today session, marts 1975:
Green, Green Grass Of Home (Takes 2-3) – Susan When She Tried (Takes 1-2) -And I Love You So (Take 1) – Bringing It Back (Takes 2-3) – T-R-O-U-B-L-E (Take 1) – Shake A Hand (Take 2)
Easter Special
2001 • Studio outtakes af gospel numre
Den 10. udgivelse fra FTD blev en ”påske special”, udgivet i april 2001. Et album med masser af gospel musik, naturligvis i sjældne versioner som aldrig havde været udgivet før. Det er et hyggeligt lille album at lytte til, og det kommer stadig på afspilleren i dag. Jeg synes rigtig godt om at sangene er fra forskellige udgivelser og årstal. Det de dog har tilfælles, er at det er gospel sange. Fx er sange som ”We Call On Him”, I Got A Feeling In My Body” og “Saved” ikke nogle der før har været udgivet på et gospel album. Sidstnævnte er ovenikøbet fra ”’68 Comeback Special”
March Of Dimes 57 – It Is No Secret (Take 12) – He Knows Just What I Need (Take 1) – Mansion Over The Hilltop (Take 1) – Joshua Fit The Battle (Take 1) – I’m Gonna Walk Dem Golden Stairs (Takes 2-3) – Known Only To Him (Takes 1-2) – Run On (Take 2) – Stand By Me (Take 2) – So High (Take 2) – Somebody Bigger Than You And I (Take 12) – We Call On Him (Takes 4-5) – Saved (Take 1) – An Evening Prayer (Take 2) – Seeing Is Believin’ (Take 4) – There Is No God But God (Takes 1-2) – He Is My Everything (Take 1) – Bosom Of Abraham (Take 7) – I Got A Feeling In My Body (Takes 6-7) – If That Isn’t Love (Takes 2, 6, 7)
Dixieland Rocks
2001 • Soundboard koncert
Elvis i topform i foråret 1975! Det er præcis hvad du får serveret her. Mange af koncerterne i 75 blev japped igennem af en tilsyneladende træt og doped Elvis. Men ikke denne her. Elvis er i super godt humør, uden at det bliver for meget. Måske er Dixieland Rocks en af de bedste soundboard koncerter overhovedet, både i lydkvalitet og lyttekvalitet.
Jeg husker at Ernst Jørgensen var med til Elvis Convention i Randers i 2001, lige før denne CD blev udgivet. Han havde medbragt tre af numrene, (My Boy, T.R.O.U.B.L.E. og I’ll Remember You) som vi sad og hørte som en slags snigpremiere. Det var stort dengang.
6. maj 1975:
(2001: A Space Odyssey) – See See Rider – I Got A Woman / Amen- Love Me – If You Love Me – You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me – All Shook Up – Teddy Bear / Don’t Be Cruel – The Wonder Of You – Polk Salad Annie – (Band Intros) – Johnny B. Goode – (Hail Hail Rock’n Roll) – My Boy – T.R.O.U.B.L.E. – I’ll Remember You – Why Me, Lord – Let Me Be There – An American Trilogy – Fairytale – Little Darlin’ – Funny How Time Slips Away – Can’t Help Falling In Love – (Closing Vamp)
Bonus Tracks, 7. maj 1975:
Bridge Over Troubled Water – Love Me Tender
The Way It Was
2001 • Bog og CD med outtakes fra That’s The Way It Is.
For første gang sprang FTD ud i at udgive en bog sammen med en CD. Året er 2001 og man kan betragte denne udgivelse, som en fin afslutning af ”That’s The Way It Is” 40 års jubilæet. Bogen er på 96 sider med mange sjældne billeder og info om optagelserne. CD’en er en flot opsamling af noget af det bedste materiale, der dengang stadig var u-udgivet. Den er ikke helt så aktuel længere, da næsten alle numre fra CD’en er udgivet forskellige andre steder, og bogen er ikke længere up to date.
Words (14.07.70) – The Next Step Is Love (14.07.70) – Ghost Riders In The Sky (15.07.70) – Love Me (14.07.70) – That’s All Right (24.07.70) – I Got A Woman (24.07.70) – I’ve Lost You (24.07.70) – I Can’t Stop Loving You (24.07.70) – Just Pretend (24.07.70) – Words (29.07.70) – I Just Can’t Help Believin’ (29.07.70) – Something (04.08.70) – Polk Salad Annie (07.08.70) – Mary In The Morning (07.08.70) – You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling (10.08.70 – Reh.) – Sweet Caroline (10.08.70) – Hound Dog (11.08.70 D.S.) – Heartbreak Hotel (11.08.70 D.S.) – Don’t Be Cruel (11.08.70 M.S.) – Blue Suede Shoes (12.08.70 D.S.) – You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me (12.08.70 D.S.) – Mystery Train/Tiger Man (12.08.70 M.S.) – The Wonder Of You (13.08.70 D.S.) – One Night (13.08.70 D.S.) – All Shook Up (13.08.70 D.S.)

It's Midnight
2002 • Soundboard koncert
Den første FTD for 2002 var en lidt skuffende soundboard koncert fra 1974. Elvis er bestemt ikke på toppen, og selv på coverbilledet ser han nærmest skæv ud. Vi får godt nok en del numre, der sjældent blev sunget live (It’s Midnight, I’m Leavin’, Spanish Eyes og If You Talk In Your Sleep), men der bliver desværre ikke gjort ret meget ud af dem.
Hilton Hotel i Las Vegas den 24. august 1974 – midnight show:
See See Rider – I Got A Woman/Amen – Love Me – If You Love Me (Let Me Know) – It’s Midnight – Big Boss Man – Fever – Love Me Tender – All Shook Up – The Wonder Of You – I’m Leavin’ – Softly As I Leave You – Spanish Eyes – Hound Dog – You Gave A Mountain – Polk Salad Annie – Introductions – If You Talk In Your Sleep – Why Me Lord? – Teddy Bear/Don’t Be Cruel – How Great Thou Art – Let Me Be There – Early Morning Rain – Hawaiian Wedding Song – Can’t Help Falling In Love
Fame And Fortune
2002 • Studio outtakes fra 1960
I april 2002 blev vi forkælet med flere outtakes fra 1960 og 61. De første 11 numre er numre fra de første sessions i marts og april 1960, der blev til albummet ”Elvis is Back”. Herefter får vi 8 numre fra ”His Hand In Mine” session. De sidste 8 numre er fra 1961, fra ”Something For Everybody” sessions. Det var stort da CD’en udkom. Endelig fik vi flere outtakes fra de første 60’er sessions.
Make Me Know It (Take 11) – Soldier Boy (Take 7) – Stuck On You (Take 1) – Fame And Fortune (Take 5) – Like A Baby (Take 4) – It’s Now Or Never (Takes 2,3) – The Girl Of My Best Friend (Take 3) – Dirty, Dirty Feeling (Take 1) – The Thrill Of Your Love (Take 1) – Such A Night (Take 1) – The Girl Next Door (Went A Walking) (Takes 1,2,3) – Milky White Way (Takes 4,5) – His Hand In Mine (Splice of takes 4,5) – He Knows What I Need (Take 6,7) – Surrender (Take 2) – In My Father’s House (Take 7) – Joshua Fit The Battle (Take 2) – I’m Gonna Walk Dem Golden Stairs (Take 5) – Working On The Building (Take 1) – I’m Comin’ Home (Take 4) – Gently (Takes 1,2) – In Your Arms (Take 1) – It’s A Sin (Take 2) – Starting Today (Take 2) – Sentimental Me (Take 2) – Judy (Take 1) – Put The Blame On Me (Takes 1,2)
Spring Tours '77
2002 • Stereo koncertoptagelser fra foråret 1977
I foråret 1977 var Elvis’ producer Felton Jarvis desperat for at få Elvis til at indspille nyt materiale. Man havde en kontrakt med RCA omkring antal af udgivelser som skulle overholdes. Men det var næsten umuligt, når artisten ikke gad indspille i studiet. Felton gjorde i stedet det, at han tog en fire spors båndoptager med på turne, så han kunne optage Elvis der. Han vidste nemlig at Elvis havde et par ”nye” numre på setlisten, som aldrig havde været udgivet på plade før. Denne CD indeholder et udvalg af de sange som Felton optog i foråret 77. Lydkvaliteten er betydeligt bedre end på en soundboard optagelse, fordi det er optaget på fire spors bånd og ikke blot på et kassette bånd. Det er faktisk en ok CD at lytte til. Jeg synes godt om at man får de bedste optagelser, i stedet for en hel koncert, der nemt kan blive lidt kedelig at lytte til når vi er oppe i 1977.
That’s All Right (3/26 – Norman), Are You Lonesome Tonight (3/26 – Norman), Blue Christmas (3/26 – Norman), Trying To Get To You (3/27 – Abilene), Lawdy Miss Clawdy (3/27 – Abilene), Fever (3/30 – Alexandria), Heartbreak Hotel (4/25 – Saginaw), If You Love Me (Let Me Know) (4/26 – Kalamazoo), O Sole Mio/It’s Now Or Never (4/26 – Kalamazoo), Little Sister (4/24 – Ann Arbor), (Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear/Don’t Be Cruel (4/24 – Ann Arbor), Help Me (4/24 – Ann Arbor), Blue Suede Shoes (3/26 – Norman), Hound Dog (4/30 – St. Paul), Jailhouse Rock (3/28 – Austin), Polk Salad Annie (4/27 – Milwaukee), Bridge Over Troubled Water (4/29 – Duluth), Big Boss Man (4/29 – Duluth), Fairytale (5/02 – Chicago), Mystery Train/Tiger Man (5/03 – Saginaw), Unchained Melody (4/24 – Saginaw), Little Darlin’ (4/24 – Saginaw), My Way (4/25 – Saginaw)
The Nashville Marathon
2002 • Studio outtakes fra 1970
I sommeren 2002 udgav FTD denne fantastiske CD! Ikke siden 1996 (på mainstream CD’en ”Essential Elvis Vol. 4”) havde vi fået outtakes fra maraton sessionen i juni 1970. Men nu skete det endeligt igen! Jeg har altid været ret vild med de studieoptagelser fra juni 1970. Især outtakes, fordi de ikke er overdynget med strygere og blæsere. Man kommer helt tæt på Elvis’ imponerende vokal. Det er helt klart en af mine favoritudgivelser. Super godt sammensat, med lidt studie chat imellem numrene. Den er for længst udgået og alle numre er genudgivet andre steder. Men hvis du finder den brugt, så køb den!
Mystery Train/Tiger Man Jam (Instrumental) – Twenty Days And Twenty Nights (take 3) – I’ve Lost You (take 1) – The Sound Of Your Cry (take 3) – Bridge Over Troubled Water (take 1) – How The Web Was Woven (take 1) – The Next Step Is Love (take 10) – I’ll Never Know (take 1) – Life (take 10) – Love Letters (take 1) – Heart Of Rome (take 1) – Mary In The Morning (take 4) – Sylvia (take 9) – It’s Your Baby, You Rock It (take 3) – It Ain’t No Big Thing (take 6) – A Hundred Years From Now (takes 1 & 2) – Tomorrow Never Comes (take 2) – Snowbird (take 1) – Rags To Riches (take 2) – Where Did They Go Lord (take 3)
Dinner at Eight
2002 • Soundboard koncert
En god soundboard udgivelse fra december 1975. Lyden er god, Elvis er i godt humør – hvad vil du mere? Det sjældne ved denne koncert er naturligvis ”Wooden Heart”, som Elvis giver en lille improviseret udgave af. Det er muligvis den eneste live udgave der findes af det nummer.
Las Vegas, den 13. december 1975, dinner show:
See See Rider – I Got A Woman/Amen – Love Me – Help Me Make It Through The Night – Trying To Get To You – And I Love You So – All Shook Up – (Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear/Don’t Be Cruel – Wooden Heart – You Gave Me A Mountain – Polk Salad Annie – Introductions – How Great Thou Art – Softly As I Leave You – America – Mystery Train/Tiger Man – Blue Christmas – Can’t Help Falling In Love
Elvis At The International
2003 • Live koncert fra 1969 optaget professionelt
Den første udgivelse for 2003 skulle blive en af de bedste fra FTD. En live koncert fra august 1969. Det var blot anden gang der nogensinde blev udgivet en komplet koncert fra dette skelsættende comeback til livescenen. Første udgivelse af en komplet koncert fra 1969, var på mainstream udgivelsen “Live In Las Vegas” fra 2001. Men denne var lidt redigeret, og man havde flyttet Elvis’ lange monolog til slutningen af koncerten. Nu fik vi endelig en komplet og uredigeret koncert fra 1969. Tænk at der skulle gå hele 34 år, før man udsendte et komplet show. Elvis er i topform, og det er som om han er mere afslappet under midnatskoncerterne, fremfor dinner shows. Hvem har også lyst til at optræde, mens folk sidder og spiser… I dag er det måske ikke nogen udgivelse der giver den store genlyd længere, men i 2003 var det virkelig stort, endeligt at få serveret en komplet koncertoplevelse fra 1969. Siden da har FTD udgivet en række koncerter fra 1969, og i 2019 fik vi så alle 11 koncerter, der blev optaget proffesionelt af RCA, samlet i én stor boks.
Las Vegas den 23. august 1969, midnight show:
Blue Suede Shoes – I Got A Woman – All Shook Up – Love Me Tender – Jailhouse Rock/Don’t Be Cruel – Heartbreak Hotel – Hound Dog – Memories – Mystery Train/Tiger Man – Monologue – Baby What You Want Me To Do – Runaway – Reconsider Baby – Are You Lonesome Tonight? – Yesterday/Hey Jude – Introductions – In The Ghetto – Suspicious Minds – What’d I Say – Can’t Help Falling In Love
New Year's Eve
2003 • Publikumsoptagelse af koncert
Nytårskoncerten fra 1976 I Pittsburgh blev desværre ikke optaget på hverken soundboard eller professionelt. Så her har FTD erhvervet sig en publikumsoptagelse fra netop denne koncert. I forhold til at det er en person der har siddet med en lille båndoptager og mikrofon blandt publikum, og optaget hele koncerten, er lydkvaliteten overraskende god. Elvis er i godt humør, og virker som om han slet ikke har lyst til afslutte koncerten. Han bliver ved med at finde lidt mere sjældne live numre frem, som fx Reconsider Baby, Unchained Melody og Rags To Riches. Hele koncerten varer derfor også næsten halvanden time – inkl. hele 14 minutter introduktion af bandet med solos og det hele. Derfor kan den heller ikke være på én CD, så for første gang udgiver FTD en dobbelt CD.
Civic Center Arena, Pittsburgh den 31. december 1976:
CD 1:
Also Sprach Zarathustra – See See Rider – I Got A Woman/Amen – Big Boss Man – Love Me – Fairytale – You Gave Me A Mountain – Jailhouse Rock – O Sole Mio/It’s Now Or Never – My Way – Funny How Time Slips Away – Auld Lang Syne – Introductions – Blue Suede Shoes – Trying To Get To You – Polk Salad Annie
CD 2:
Band Introductions – Early Morning Rain – What’d I Say – Johnny B. Goode – Solos – Love Letters – School Days – Fever – Hurt – Hound Dog – Are You Lonesome Tonight? – Reconsider Baby – Little Sister – Unchained Melody – Rags To Riches – Can’t Help Falling In Love – Closing Vamp
Studio B: Nashville Outtakes 1961-64
2003 • Studio outtakes
Studio B er efterfølgeren til FTD’s Fame And Fortune udgivelse. Denne gang får vi outtakes fra årene 1961 til 1964. Indholdet går helt uden om film-soundtrack indspilninger, og koncentrerer sig om studie indspilninger fra RCA’s Studio B i Nashville. Det er forrygende at høre nogle alternative, og ikke helt færdige, udgaver af disse sange, hvor Elvis’ vokal er helt i top.
Kiss Me Quick (Take 1) – That’s Someone You Never Forget (Take 5) – I’m Yours (Take 4) – His Latest Flame (Rehearsal & Take 2 )- Little Sister (Takes 1-3)- For the Millionth and the Last Time (Takes 1-2) – Anything That’s Part of You (Takes 4-5) – I Met Her Today (Takes 8-9) – Something Blue (Takes 3-4) – Gonna Get Back Home Somehow (Take 1) – Easy Question (Take 3) – Fountain of Love (Takes 1-2 )- Just for Old Time Sake (Takes 3-4) – Night Rider (Takes 2-3) – You’ll Be Gone (Take 1 )- I Feel that I’ve Known You Forever (Take 1) – Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello (Take 2) – Echoes of Love (Takes 2-3) – Please Don’t Drag that String Around (Take 2) – Love Me Tonight (Take 3-4) – Western (Take 3) – Memphis Tennessee (Take 1 (1964)) – Ask Me (Takes 8-9)
It Happened At The Worlds Fair
2003 • Classic album.
Med denne udgivelse starter FTD deres Classic Albums serie, hvis formål er at udgive de originale albums med et udpluk at outtakes som bonus numre. Selve coveret er i et stort 7” format (samme størrelse som en singleplade) med den originale coverart på forsiden. Coveret er lavet af pap, og kan foldes ud så man kommer ind til CD’en og det tilhørende hæfte. Det hele er fyldt med flotte og sjældne billeder fra filmen, og info omkring indspilningerne. Det er også første gang at FTD udgiver hele tre CD’er samtidigt. De efterfølgende to soundtracks, ”Fun In Acapulco” og ”Girl Happy” blev nemlig udgivet samtidigt med denne. Jeg syntes det var noget af en udgift på én gang, når man nu gerne ville holde sig opdateret med alle udgivelser. Hvis man er til sangene fra ”It Happened At The World’s Fair”, så er denne næsten et must i samlingen. Selvom den ikke indeholder nogle store klassikere, så vil jeg alligevel fremhæve sange som ”Relax” og ”They Remind Me To Much Of You” som ganske fremragende.
Original Album:
Beyond The Bend – Relax – Take Me To The Fair – They Remind Me Too Much Of You – One Broken Heart For Sale – I’m Falling In Love Tonight – Cotton Candy
Outtakes:
One Broken Heart For Sale (takes 2,3,1) – They Remind Me Too Much Of You (take 1) – I’m Falling In Love Tonight (take 1-4) – Beyond The Bend (take 1, 2) – Cotton Candy Land (take 1,2,4) – How Would You Like To Be (take 2) – They Remind Me Too Much Of You (take 4) – Beyond The Bend (take 3) – Take Me To The Fair (take 6) – I’m Falling In Love Tonight (take 6) – They Remind Me Too Much Of You (take 6,7) – Relax (take 5,6,7) – Happy Ending (take 4,5,6) – Take Me To The Fair (August master-from acetate)
Fun In Acapulco
2003 • Classic album.
Andet album i Classic Albums serien, hvor coveret er i et stort 7” format med den originale coverart på forsiden. Coveret er lavet af pap, og kan foldes ud så man kommer ind til CD’en og det tilhørende hæfte. Det hele er fyldt med flotte og sjældne billeder fra filmen, og info omkring indspilningerne. Denne udkom samtidigt med de to andre Classic Albums ”It Happened At The World’s Fair” og ”Girl Happy”. Her får vi igen det originale album med bonus tracks, efterfulgt af en lang række spændende outtakes. Det er meget underholdende at lytte til disse outtakes, hvor Elvis er i godt humør. Dette soundtrack skraber heller ikke helt bunden endnu, hvad kvaliteten af sangene angår.
Original album:
Fun In Acapulco – Vino Dinero Y Amor – Mexico – El Toro – Marguerita – The Bullfighter Was A Lady – (Theres) No Room To Rhumba In A Sports Car – I Think Im Gonna Like It Here – Bossa Nova Baby – You Can’t Say No In Acapulco – Guadalajara – Love Me Tonight – Slowly But Surely
Outtakes:
Mexico (take 7) – The Bullfighter Was A Lady (remake take 17) – I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here (remake takes 18,19) – Bossa Nova Baby (takes 1,2) – The Bullfighter Was A Lady (takes 4,5,6) – Marguerita (take 6) – I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here (take 1) – Mexico (takes 1,2) – You Can’t Say No In Acapulco (takes 1,2,3,4) – Guadalajara (take 2) – Bossa Nova Baby (take 3) – Mexico (take 6) – I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here (takes 11,12,13-remake) – Guadalajara (takes 3,4)
Girl Happy
2003 • Classic album.
Tredje album i Classic Albums serien, hvor coveret er i et stort 7” format med den originale coverart på forsiden. Coveret er lavet af pap, og kan foldes ud så man kommer ind til CD’en og det tilhørende hæfte. Det hele er fyldt med flotte og sjældne billeder fra filmen, og info omkring indspilningerne. Denne udkom samtidigt med de to andre Classic Albums ”It Happened At The World’s Fair” og ”Fun In Acapulco”. Endnu engang er det samme fine koncept med at vi får det originale album med bonus tracks, og resten af CD’en er fyldt med outtakes. Jeg har aldrig været særlig begejstret for ”Girl Happy” soundtracket. Der er faktisk ikke rigtigt nogle af sangene jeg synes skiller sig ud. De er bare lidt små-ligegyldige alle sammen. Det høres også under indspilningerne at Elvis ikke har det helt store mod på at skulle igennem disse sange.
Original album:
Girl Happy – Spring Fever – Fort Lauderdale Chamber Of Commerce – Startin’ Tonight – Wolf Call – Do Not Disturb – Cross My Heart And Hope To Die – The Meanest Girl In Town – Do The Clam – Puppet On A String – I’ve Got To Find My Baby – You’ll Be Gone
Outtakes:
Puppet On A String (takes 5,6,7) – The Meanest Girl In Town (takes 7,8,9) – Spring Fever (take 4) – Do Not Disturb (takes 24,25,26,27) – Cross My Heart And Hope To Die (take 4) – Girl Happy (takes 1,2,3,4) – Puppet On A String (take 10) – Spring Fever (takes 18,19,21) – The Meanest Girl In Town (take 11) – Do Not Disturb (take 35) – Cross My Heart And Hope To Die (take 9,10,11) – Girl Happy (take 13 and take 4 of ending).
Dragon Heart
2003 • Soundboard koncert
Selvom indholdet på denne CD nok vil have en del kritikere, da Elvis bestemt ikke så dynamisk som i nogle af hans tidligere shows, er dette stadig en god soundboard optagelse, som i historisk sammenhæng bare er fin at lytte til. Af de få højdepunkter koncerten byder på, bør den impromtu udgave af ”Lawdy, Miss Clawdy” under introduktionen af Glen D. Hardin nævnes. Desuden får vi som en af de tre bonus numre ”Alright, Okay, You Win”, som dog blot er Elvis der forsøger at synge et par linjer af sangen, også under introduktionen af Glen D. Men det er en sang som ikke findes andre steder med Elvis.
Notre Dame Athletic and Convention Center, South Bend, Indiana den 1. oktober 1974:
See See Rider – I Got A Woman/Amen – Love Me – Blue Suede Shoes – It’s Midnight – Big Boss Man – Fever – Love Me Tender – Hound Dog – Heartbreak Hotel – If You Love Me – Bridge Over Troubled Water – Introductions – Lawdy Miss Clawdy – Introductions – All Shook Up – Teddy Bear/Don’t Be Cruel – Let Me Be There – It’s Now Or Never – You Gave Me A Mountain – Johnny B. Goode – Hawaiian Wedding Song – Steamroller Blues – Can’t Help Falling In Love – Closing Vamp
Bonus sange:
Alright, Okay, You Win (29-9-74 Detroit) – Blue Christmas (28-9-74 College Park) – Trying To Get To You (28-9-74 College Park)
Takin' Tahoe Tonight
2003 • Soundboard koncert
Indtil 2003 havde der blot været udgivet få koncerter på bootlegs fra denne periode i 1973, så dette var første gang at der officielt blev udgivet en koncert fra foråret 1973. Den var faktisk en debut på flere områder. Det var også første gang der blev udgivet en koncert optaget på Sahara Tahoe hotellet i Lake Tahoe, hvor Elvis havde flere arrangementer. Desuden var det også den første koncertudgivelse med Emory Gordy på basguitar. En interessant ændring, da det er Emory Gordys dundrende bas, vi også hører så fabelagtigt på ‘Burning Love’ singlen fra året før. Koncerten er et ekstra show der blev lagt på programmet til kl. 3 om natten. Samme aften som Elvis både havde givet et dinner show og en midnats koncert som afslutning på dette Tahoe arrangement. Stemningen er da også ret munter blandt Elvis og bandet. Enten er de overtrætte eller de har taget lidt sjove ting for at holde sig vågne… Jeg har faktisk altid synes godt om denne koncert. Hørte den nogle år før FTD udgav den, da den allerede var ude på bootleg, dog i en publikumsoptagelse. Det er dels Elvis’ gode humør og sangvalget der går denne koncert speciel. Numre som ”Help Me Make It Through The Night”, “Faded Love”, en nærmest boogie agtig udgave af “Hound Dog” og en version af ”I’ll Remember You” som Elvis griner sig halvvejs igennem, er nogle af højdepunkterne.
Sahara Tahoe Hotel, Nevada den 13. maj 1973 – ekstra closing show kl. 3 om natten:
Also Sprach Zarathustra – See See Rider – I Got A Woman/Amen – Help Me Make It Through The Night – Steamroller Blues – You Gave Me A Mountain – Love Me – Blue Suede Shoes – Long Tall Sally/Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On/Mama Don’t Dance/Shake, Rattle And Roll – My Way – Hound Dog – What Now My Love – Suspicious Minds – Introductions – I’ll Remember You – I Can’t Stop Loving You – Bridge Over Troubled Water – Funny How Time Slips Away – It’s Over – Release Me – Faded Love – Can’t Help Falling In Love
Bonus sange fra midnats showet samme aften:
I’m Leavin’ – A Big Hunk O’ Love
Viva Las Vegas
2003 • Classic album.
De tre sidste udgivelser for 2003 blev filmsoundtracks i Classic Albums serien. Igen blev alle tre udgivet samtidigt.
Som tidligere nævnt er Classic Albums serien flotte udgivelser, hvor coveret er i stort 7” format med den originale coverart på forsiden. Coveret er lavet af pap, og kan foldes ud så man kommer ind til CD’en og det tilhørende hæfte. Det hele er fyldt med flotte og sjældne billeder fra filmen, og info omkring indspilningerne. Vi får det originale album med bonus tracks, efterfulgt af en lang række spændende outtakes, hvor de fleste ikke tidligere har været udgivet. Der er ikke så meget at sige om disse soundtracks. Nogle kan lide dem, andre kan ikke fordrage dem. Fælles for dem er dog at de indeholder Elvis’ fantastiske vokal, selvom de fleste af sangene ikke er de store mesterværker.
Viva Las Vegas – What I’d Say – If You Think I Don’t Need You – I Need Somebody To Lean On – C’mon Everybody – Today, Tomorrow And Forever – Night Life – Santa Lucia – Do The Vega – You’re The Boss (Duet with Ann-Margret) – The Yellow Rose Of Texas/The Eyes Of Texas – The Lady Loves Me (Duet with Ann-Marget)

So High
2004 • Studio outtakes fra Nashville 1966-68
Den første udgivelse for 2004 indeholder studio outtakes fra RCA’s Studio B i Nashville i perioden 1966-68. Efter en del år med kun indspilninger til halvdårlige film soundtracks, vender Elvis i 1966 tilbage til studiet i Nashville for at indspille en ny gospel plade. De efterfølgende år indspiller han flere helt fremragende sange i Nashville, der dog, for de flestes tilfælde, desværre blot bliver udgivet som bonus numre på film soundtrack LP’erne. På denne CD fik man ikke tidligere udgivet outtakes af mange af disse fremragende numre. Det er en fornøjelse at lytte til en Elvis der nyder at indspille disse sange, fremfor at indspille elendige filmsange, som han jo primært gjorde i denne tid.
Run On (take 6) – Stand By Me (take 2) – Down In The Alley (take 6) – Tomorrow Is A Long Time (take 2) – Love Letters (take 8) – So High (take 1) – By And By (take 9) – Somebody Bigger Than You And I (take 11) – Without Him (take 1) – If The Lord Wasn’t Walking By My Side (take 6) – Come What May (take 2) – I’ll Remember You (take 2) – Guitar Man (take 9) – Mine (take 4) – Singing Tree (take 1) – Just Call Me Lonesome (takes 3,4) – Hi-Heel Sneakers (take 5) – You Don’t Know Me (take 2) – We Call On Him (take 2) – You’ll Never Walk Alone (take 1) – Jam – Stay Away (take 6) – U.S. Male (take 11) – Too Much Monkey Business (takes 4, 10) – Going Home (take 29)
The Impossible Dream
2004 • Soundboard koncert
For første gang får vi nu en officiel udgivelse med live optagelser fra 1971. Det er lidt et overset år, hvad angår live koncerter. Måske skyldes det at der ikke findes nogle professionelle optagelser af koncerter fra dette år. Der eksisterer kun soundboard optagelser, som ikke har fremragende lydkvalitet. Det er også hvad denne optagelse er, en soundboard optagelse. Dvs. at en af teknikerne har tilsluttet en båndoptager til mixerpulten, og optaget showet på den måde. Af sjældne live numre skal fremhæves sange som ”It’s Now Or Never”, “There Goes My Everything”, “Make The World Go Away”, “Only Believe”, “Snowbird” og ikke mindst “The Impossible Dream”, som Elvis brugte som afslutningsnummer I en stor del af 1971, i stedet for den sædvanlige ”Can’t Help Falling In Love”. ”2001 Theme” eller ”Also Sprach Zarathustra”, som den også hedder, anvendes her for første gang nogensinde som åbning til en Elvis koncert.
Las Vegas den 28. januar 1971 – dinner show (med enkelte undtagelser)
2001 Theme (January 26 Opening Night), That’s All Right (January 26 Opening Night), You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me, Love Me Tender, Sweet Caroline, You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling, Polk Salad Annie, Introductions 1, Johnny B.

Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis
2004 • Classic album.
Da dette album oprindeligt blev udgivet i 1974, var koncerten blevet godt og grundigt klippet til og overdubbed med masser af ekstra publikumsstøj. Elvis’ producer Felton Jarvis havde placeret en mængde mikrofoner i salen blandt publikum, for at fange intensiteten. Under produktionen af albummet, blev publikums jubel nærmest ”sat på” hver gang Elvis sagde noget sjovt eller en sang tog en uventet drejning. Med denne nye udgave, der blev udgivet 30 år efter koncerten blev optaget, fik vi endelig den komplette koncert uden alle overdubs. Dvs. vi troede at den var komplet, indtil Sony Legacy udgav koncerten igen i 2014, hvor det viste sig at den også indeholdte en ”false start” af nummeret ”Help Me”, som ikke var med på denne FTD udgivelse. Det var på en måde underligt at lytte til koncerten uden de voldsomme publikums overdubs, som man havde været vant til. Magien forsvandt en smule, da man fandt ud af at publikum måske ikke var helt så ekstatisk, som man havde troet i så mange år.
Dette var den første CD som FTD udgav i Classic Albums serien i det store 7” format, der ikke var et soundtrack album.
Memphis, Tennessee den 20. marts 1974:
Also Sprach Zarathustra – See See Rider – I Got A Woman/Amen – Love Me – Tryin’ To Get To You – All Shook Up – Steamroller Blues – Teddy Bear/Don’t Be Cruel – Love Me Tender – Long Tall Sally/Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On/Mama Don’t Dance/Flip, Flop and Fly/Jailhouse Rock/Hound Dog – Fever – Polk Salad Annie – Why Me Lord – How Great Thou Art – Suspicious Minds – Introductions – Blueberry Hill/I Can’t Stop Loving You – Help Me – An American Trilogy – Let Me Be There – My Baby Left Me – Lawdy, Miss Clawdy – Funny How Time Slips Away – Can’t Help Falling In Love – Closing Vamp
Flashback
2004 • Bog og CD med outtakes fra 1950’erne
Flashback var FTD’s anden bogudgivelse, også denne gang blev bogen ledsaget af en CD med u-udgivet materiale på. Det hele afspiller en unik rejse i Elvis’ karriere fra januar 1956 til juni 1958. Bogen indeholder hele 285 sjældne og (i 2004) ikke før offentliggjorte billeder på 172 sider. Sammen med CD’ens 70 minutters spilletid med (i 2004) ikke tidligere udgivne outtakes fra 50’erne, var dette en rigtig must-have for enhver fan af Elvis i 50’erne. Den første del af CD’en indeholder outtakes helt tilbage fra Elvis’ første indspilninger hos RCA og frem til de fremragende sessions i Nashville i 1958. Sidste del af CD’en indeholder outtakes fra 1957 optaget i binaural, som er en to-kanals indspilning, hvor Elvis’ vokal er optaget i den ene side og alt andet i den anden side. En slags tidlig stereo indspilning, men alligevel ikke rigtig stereo. RCA brugte disse optagelser som backup dengang og de skulle faktisk bare have været smidt ud. Men heldigvis blev de fundet i god behold.
The Mono Outtakes:
Heartbreak Hotel (splice of take 5 & 4) – Money Honey (take 10 – intro only) – I’m Counting On You (takes 1,2, unknown take) – I Was The One (take 7 unedited) – Lawdy, Miss Clawdy (takes 11,12) – Shake, Rattle And Roll (takes 3,5,6,7) – I Want You, I Need You, I Love You (take 3) – Rip It Up (takes 10,11,12,16) – Loving You (slow) (takes 2,3) – I Need Your Love Tonight (takes 12,13) – A Big Hunk O Love (take 2) – Ain’t That Loving You Baby (take 8 – fast fade on Elvis laughing) – A Fool Such As I (takes 4,5) – I Got Stung (takes 4-8)
The Binaural Outtakes:
That’s When Your Heartaches Begin (take 1) – It Is No Secret (take 5) – Blueberry Hill (take 3) – Have I Told You Lately That I Love You (takes 6,7) – Is It So Strange (takes 8,9) – Loving You (main title version take 6) – Loving You (main title version take 12) – Treat Me Nice (1st version takes 1,2,3) – Young And Beautiful (take 6) – I Want To Be Free (take 11) – Don’t Leave Me Now (takes 7,8)
Spinout
2004 • Classic album.
Spinout er et af de bedre soundtrack albums fra midt 60’erne. Lige fra det rockende titelnummer til de ganske lytteværdige ballader som ‘Am I Ready’ og ‘All That I Am’, er der noget for enhver smag på dette album. Så må vi heller ikke glemme den forrygende ‘I’ll Be Back’, der ovenikøbet blev nomineret til en Grammy, dog uden at vinde. Men prikken over i’et på det oprindelige album er de helt enestående bonussange ‘Tomorrow Is A Long Time’ (Dylan-klassikeren), ‘Down In The Alley’ og ‘I’ll Remember You’. Det kan næsten ikke beskrives hvor stort et spild det var af gode indspilninger, at gemme disse væk som bonus numre på et soundtrack album. Af de inkluderede outtakes kan ”Beach Shack” fremhæves, hvis du er til Elvis der flækker af grin. Det er simpelthen så tåbeligt et nummer, at han ikke kan holde masken. De resterende outtakes bærer også tydeligt præg af en Elvis der er ved at være godt træt af at indspille ligegyldige film sange.
”Spinout” blev, som de andre soundtracks, udgivet i det store 7” format, med en flot tilhørende booklet med info omkring filmen og soundtrack indspilningerne, samt masser af billeder og udklip.

Polk Salad Annie
2004 • Prof. optaget koncert fra februar 1970
Som i august året før, fik Felton Jarvis og RCA endnu engang kørt den mobile indspilnings-truck til Vegas i februar 1970, hvor Elvis var i gang med sin anden Vegas sæson. De trykkede på record knappen den 15. februar under midnats showet, og optog under ni fortløbende shows. Af uvisse årsager optog Felton denne gang kun brudstykker af koncerterne (primært de nye sange) og ingen komplette koncerter, som han havde gjort i 1969. Måske var det for at spare de dyre 16 spors bånd, og set med datidens øjne, var det jo spild af bånd, da man havde rigeligt live materiale fra august 69. Alligevel optog han her og der en version af fx ”Love Me Tender”, ”Hound Dog” og ”Can’t Help Falling In Love”… Optagelsen fra den 15. februar er den eneste koncert, der blev optaget i næsten komplet form. Kun åbningsnummeret ”All Shook Up” og starten af ”I Got A Woman” mangler. Det er lige præcis denne koncert vi får serveret her af FTD, sammen med et par bonus numre fra nogle af de andre shows og fra den eneste rehearsal der blev optaget. Det mest specielle nummer fra dette show må være ”Hound Dog”. Selvom den er voldsom speeded up, ligesom de andre 70’er udgaver, så er dette den eneste udgave vi har, hvor Elvis rent faktisk synger verset: ”Well they said you were high classed…”, i stedet for blot at gentage omkvædet.
FTD har efterfølgende udgivet flere af optagelserne fra februar 1970, men denne koncert er aldrig blevet genudgivet. Så hvis du bare må eje alt fra 1970, må du på jagt efter denne CD.
Las Vegas den 15. februar 1970 midnight show:

Paradise, Hawaiian Style
2004 • Classic album.
Jeg må indrømme at dette soundtrack i min bog er det dårligste af dem alle. For mig er det bare sådan noget ligegyldigt Hawaii inspireret musik, der – i modsætning til ”Blue Hawaii” soundtracket – overhovedet ikke fungerer. Det er tydeligt at høre på Elvis’ vokal, at han ikke gider synge disse sange. Man valgte endda et billede af Elvis fra ”Fun In Acapulco” til pladecoveret. Måske fordi han var blevet lidt for oppustet at se på i de nyeste fotos, der dog pryder bagsiden af pladen, men i meget små udgaver. FTD udgiver dog igen en flot udgave i det store 7” format med tilhørende hæfte, fyldt med info og udklip. Så er der som altid fyldt godt op med session outtakes, hvoraf de fleste aldrig tidligere har været udgivet. Det eneste højdepunkt jeg kan finde, er de outtakes af ”Datin’” hvor Elvis flere gange bryder sammen af grin. Det er en sand fornøjelse at høre hans latter. Men disse outtakes blev oprindeligt udgivet på sølv boksen i 1980, så de fleste af os kender dem allerede.
Original album:
Paradise, Hawaiian Style – Queenie Wahine’s Papaya – Scratch My Back – Drums Of The Islands – Datin’ – A Dog’s Life – House Of Sand – Stop Where You Are – This Is My Heaven – Sand Castles
Outtakes:
This Is My Heaven (take 4) – A Dog’s Life (takes 4-6) – Datin’ (takes 6,7,8,11,12) – This Is My Heaven (take 7) – Drums Of The Islands (takes 4 & 5) – Queenie Wahine’s Papaya (take 5) – Stop Where You Are (take 1) – House Of Sand (take 3 plus intro) – Paradise, Hawaiian Style (takes 4 & 1) – Scratch My Back (take 1) – A Dog’s Life (take 8) – Sand Castles (take 1) – Datin’ (takes 1-4) – This Is My Heaven (takes 1-3)
Double Trouble
2004 • Classic album.
Igen en flot FTD-udgivelse med cover i 7” formatet, med tilhørende hæfte fyldt med info og billeder fra filmen og optagelserne. Så er der som altid fyldt godt op med session outtakes på CD’en, hvoraf de fleste aldrig tidligere har været udgivet. Et lidt ligegyldigt soundtrack, der dog indeholder nogle ok numre. Men det indeholder også den måske mest pinlige sang, som Elvis nogensinde har indspillet, nemlig ”Old MacDonald”. Bonus numrene skiller sig, som sædvanligt, ud fra mængden. Både i kvaliteten af sangene, men så sandelig også i lydkvaliteten, da disse blev indspillet i Nashville. Igen forstår man ikke, set med nutidens øjne, hvorfor disse fremragende indspilninger blot blev gemt væk som bonus numre på soundtrackene.
Original album:
Double Trouble – Baby, If You’ll Give Me All Of Your Love – Could I Fall In Love – Long Legged Girl – City By Night – Old MacDonald – I Love Only One Girl –
There Is So Much World To See – It Won’t Be Long – Never Ending – Blue River – What Now, What Next, Where To

Closing Night
2004 • Soundboard koncert
FTD udgiver her en soundboard koncert, som har floreret i flere år på bootleg markedet. Nu får vi den endelig i bedre kvalitet. Elvis er i topform under denne ”closing night” koncert den 3. september 1973. Showet starter med at Elvis bliver båret ind på scenen på ryggen af Lamar Fike, ovenikøbet med en tøj-abe på sin egen ryg. Den beholder han på under de første par numre.
Senere under showet fjoller han også rundt med sangene. Da bandet begynder at spille Suspicious Minds, synger Elvis teksten til Bridge Over Troubled Water. Det lyder ikke ret godt, men er meget specielt. Efterfølgende synger han dog begge numre hver for sig.
Der findes et hav af billeder fra denne koncert. Desuden har danske Else Matthiasen Rasmussen, været til stede under koncerten. Det kan du læse meget mere om her
Hilton Hotel, Las Vegas den 3. september 1973.
De første 7 sange er fra dinner showet, resten er fra closing showet samme dag.

Nevada Nights
2008 • 2 soundboard koncerter
Koncerten fra denne Vegas sæsons åbnings aften (opening night) er ret interessant, da Elvis virkelig forsøger at ændre setlisten fuldstændig. Han inkluderer mange nye sange og går bort fra de fleste af de gamle travere. Koncerten fra den 21. august viser dog, at han meget hurtigt vender tilbage til den kendte setliste, hvor han igen primært synger de sange han plejer. I øvrigt er prøverne fra den 16. august 1974, hvor Elvis øver de nye sange, udgivet i 2009 på FTD CD’en “From Sunset To Las Vegas”, som du kan finde ved at scrolle lidt længere ned her på siden.

Standing Room Only
2009 • Classic album. Live og studieindspilninger fra foråret 1972
Albummet var planlagt til udgivelse i 1972 med live indspilninger fra Las Vegas Hilton i februar 1972 og studie masters fra foråret ’72. “Standing Room Only” var samtidig arbejdstitlen på dokumentarfilmen der senere fik titlen “Elvis On Tour”. Album coveret blev endda lavet, men man droppede udgivelsen, til fordel for at udgive en koncert fra Madison Square Garden i juni 1972. FTD har med denne udgivelse forsøgt at gengive det originale album.

From Sunset To Las Vegas
2009 • Rehearsal og soundboard koncert
Hovedparten af udgivelsen er en rehearsal optaget i RCA’s Studios på Sunset Blvd i Hollywood den 16. august 1974. Her afprøver Elvis og bandet en del nye sange, for at forny live koncerterne. Åbningskoncerten fra den 19. august, som findes på FTD CD’en “Nevada Nights” fra 2008, vidner også om at Elvis har lavet en helt ny setliste til koncerten. Men blot få dage efter er han tilbage i det gamle spor, med de sædvanlige sange på repertoiret.
