Elvis Presley FTD CD reissues (part 5)

That's my favorite Elvis album!

Not!!!

 

I bought the LP. I wonder if there's any outtakes and alternates.

 

For sure.....bootlegs compiled from soundboard recordings...multiple volumes.

 

I would rather see an Elvis Sings For Children And Grownups Too FTD The outtakes of 5 Sleepyheads would be sublime

 

You know I'm in!

I've actually never heard this album. And before anyone replies "you don't want to!" -- take a moment to understand how my mind works -- such comments will only make me want to hear it more!

 

I find it fun to try and win minds, though. Opinions are always legit, but the debate itself may be tiresome for many. Which is also a legit opinion.

 

When I read that, I thought to myself, "I bet someone has needle dropped and uploaded the full album to youtube." And I was right. It's 2015, there's no excuse for not having heard this anymore:

 

I'm thinking I should wait for the 2-disc FTD Classic Album version.

 

Any info on a re-release of A Boy From Tupelo : The Complete 1953-55 Recordings? Missed it the first time around but would love to have it in my collection.

 

FTD??? No way put this out as a Legacy Edition, it deserves to take up as much retail space as possible!

 

As a collector I have everything by Elvis. That's not to say I like everything because I don't (and I don't wear any rose tinted specs). However, I don't feel the need to keep banging on about "this is good", "all this is crap". We all know Elvis had shortcomings, do we really need to keep hearing about them.

 

I've got the complete original catalogue in CD (+ some 20 LPs) and the 3 decade sets.
Now I don't need to have everything published on FTD. I know how Elvis sounds on "Double Trouble" or on those last albums in the 70s; I don't feel the need to "upgrade" this part of his legacy: the original album on a single CD is enough for me. On the other hand, I will be getting all those terrific highlights spread during his career on the collector label. Last one was "Back In Memphis" and it was marvellous to listen to all the way through. Let it roll!

 

I would be careful joking about this, if I were you! Knowing how EVERYTHING released during his lifetime, good bad or indifferent, gets a "Classic Album" reissue on FTD, I see no reason why this album shouldn't also get the 2CD treatment! Come to think of it, applying the FTD criteria of exhaustive out-takes attached to the original material, this album could have a 20CD box set release with every bit of stage chatter included. I can't wait!

 

I can sort of agree with your methods here - mine are very similar: I have all the studio masters material sans the complete movie soundtracks (I currently have about 2/3 of those - the very best ones!) on CD, a similar number of LP's and a few selective FTD reissues, numbering about a dozen or so. I have a few duplicates with some 80's / 90 remasters where the mixes are different.

I bought the '60's box early on but I don't need that anymore as I have all the material in better sound now. Likewise, I never needed the '70's box as I had all this material already. Same applies to the '50's box. I don't really like having too much duplicated material without any purpose in mind.

If I could unload 5 movie s/track CD's (2010 issues), I'd probably go for the 20CD box set now!

 

I was always a 70s Elvis fan. So after collecting the usual Legacy Editions, albums and compilations (Gospel Masters, Elvis75 etc.) I got into FTD more and more. Now I own:
1. The Jungle Room Sessions
2. Moody Blue
3. From Elvis P. B.
4. Hits of the 70s
5. E. Sings The Wonderful World of Christmas
6. The E.P. Christmas Album
7. On Tour - The Rehearsals
8. Standing Room Only

I wish there would be such a great "Collector's Label" for the SINATRA catalog...

 

Me too. I prefer the '70's to the 50's and the 60's!

No "Stax"? "Today"?

 

Yes, you are.

 

I wouldn't have ANY money left.

 

Clearly you speak on behalf of everyone.

 

I have the Stax 3CD edition and the single Today CD.

 

Actually I was entirely joking!

Now Czeskleba's YouTube post is beckoning me to click on it.
