NEW FTDS

I found this on elvis information network.

FTD announces 6 new FTD releases for 2009:

FTD has announced the plans to the end of this year. It promises to be a series of very interesting releases.




Here is the list:

SEPTEMBER: 2 releases

Jailhouse Rock - 2CD - 7"..........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.

From Sunset to Vegas - 2CD - 5".........FROM SUNSET TO VEGAS is a 2-disc set in FTD’S 5 “ digipack format. The main body of the release is the rehearsal recorded at RCA’s studio on Sunset Blvd on August 16, 1974. There is a bonus section on Disc 2 with 10 live recordings from Elvis’ Las Vegas engagement in August/September 1974.


OCTOBER: 4 releases

Good Times - 2CD - 7"............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.

Rockin' Across Texas' - 2CD - 5" ...........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.

Soundboard - 5"..........................................Details to be announced

The Jungle Room Sessions - 2Disc - Vinyl...................................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.

THANKS SO MUCH DAVID72 FOR THE INFO.!!! :notworthy

While I am excited at seeing the latest news, I do have to wonder why FTD is going to re-release the concerts that came with the ROCKIN' ACROSS TEXAS book (like they did with THE WAY IT WAS)??? The intent for the FTD releases was that they were going to be limited releases and once they were gone, that was it. But now, they've decided to re-release the discs from THE WAY IT WAS and ROCKIN' ACROSS TEXAS without the books. If they wanted the music to still be available, they should have either not deleted the book/CD combos from the FTD catalog or they should have just released these discs as CD's only with no book...it really doesn't make any sense to me. :doh:

And while I am excited to see JAILHOUSE ROCK being released on the FTD label, are there really enough outtakes, session material, etc. to warrant a 2-CD set this year and a second volume next year??? There were only 6 songs in the movie (7 if you count Hunk's song ONE MORE DAY)... :blink:

Just a couple of observations on my part... :hmm:

TCB!
Mike
