When it comes to collectin ep cd's it can get pretty expensive. some can afford to collect both follow that dream and import releases..some are not so fortunate, i keep up with the ftd releases because i feel if we don't support them then they will stop putting out such great albums. As for Boot's I don't have to have the origianls, i have about all the boots on cdrs and they are fine for me.but we have to support ftd by buying originals i believe.(y)

That is SO true Jon...in fact, for the first few years that FTD was around, I collected EVERY title they released. But now with the economy being the way it is, and the cost of everything rising (including the FTD CD's as well as the import CD's), I have had to really scale back and be more selective in which CD's I purchase for my collection... :'(
Unless of course I win the lottery, then the Elvis shops need to watch out!!! :D

Seing all those posters really took me back in time. I had all of those and then some. In fact...that's very much how my bedroom looked, you couldn't see the walls at all.(y)

Of course, I am EXTREMELY jealous that you all have such wonderful displays of your Elvis collection for everyone to enjoy! Unfortunately, most of my collection is currently packed up....we are remodeling our house and until it is done, I have to keep everything boxed up... :'(
But despite my insane jealousy, I am truly enjoying all of your photos!! Keep 'em comin'!!! (y)

i also love this huge banner i picked up. its from Tahoe and will be seen in my book with sue mc casland that will be coming out for august.
but you should have seen this when i got it. it was dirty and ripped. i think many people would have tossed it. but i know what archivists can do. i sent it away to the same people that work for Smithsonians Institue.
When it cam back i was floored.
it now hangs in my den.
