'Prince From Another Planet' - Forthcoming Release

[Brian Quinn]

As posted on the EPE Website:

"Sony Music Panel
Friday, August 17, 4:30 p.m. Elvis Week Main Stage, Graceland. Find out more about upcoming releases from John Jackson, Vice President of A&R and Content Development for Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, and Ernst Jorgensen and Roger Semon, record producers for Sony and the team responsible for the Follow That Dream Record label. In anticipation of the upcoming release of “Prince From Another Planet,” included will be a screening of the never-before-seen footage from Elvis’ performance in Madison Square Garden in June 1972. The panel will also include more about the “I am an Elvis Fan” release, upcoming FTD projects and a chance to get answers to your questions about Elvis’ music."

I expect that 'Prince From Another Planet' will be the long anticipated Legacy release of the Vic Anesini (hopefully) remastered Madison Square Garden Shows. The video footage could just be being used to promote the release. Hopefully an extensive booklet will be included giving the full story of how the shows came about and comments from fans and entertainers alike who witnessed them. The sound should be awesome as should the photographic content.

Really looking forward to this one.

I have to wonder though...if this truly turns out to be an official Legacy release, why is it being renamed and not just being released in the "Classic Albums" series as the MSG show with the AFTERNOON show coupled with it? Not that I am complaining in the least...it will be awesome to finally have the original MSG show in upgraded quality!! But I'm wondering if this "Prince From Another Planet" idea is something planned for the FTD label instead?? :hmm:

Can't wait to find out more on this...thanks Brian for the information!! (y)

TCB!

No my friend if the world never questioned anything down thru time many mysteries would have not been solved, many scams would go on forever, disease would never be conquered and rumors would never be confirmed.
Who, what, where, and when are the 4 cornerstones of good honest reporters......and at least 2 reputable sources in order to publish a story.....questions are a necessary part of life..not necessarily negative or pessimistic....but prudent and fair.

True. With Sony, cautious optimism are the words of the day. Hopefully this will come to pass and it will be a home run. Remember 2002 and the internet abuzz with MSG box set rumors and supposed confirmations. This, however seems to be more concrete.

[Unchained Melody]

This is great and to see it released on the official SONY RCA label is even better.
What a year for ELvis releases.
Unreleased recording from 1955, the Tupelo set (preordered;) ) and now MSG remastered both shows with DVD amazing.

[Hans]

I agree - the best news in ages..!!

Actually the two shows are re-mixed meaning all new mixes to the original recordings. A highly respected Grammy award winner is the mastermind behind them.

Love the original MSG album, but never a big fan of the mix, neither a fan of the digital echo saturaded mix of An Afternoon in the Garden.

Hope this new mix will be the lucky one! Hope he chooses to go more about showcase Elvis and a red hot TCB Band, and less on the horns and strings as previews mixes did.

[Jungleroom76]

According to multiple sources, the sound quality on both MSG shows is going to be PHENOMENAL!! I am SO excited I can't wait...and then to have the DVD included in the set is just icing on the cake!! If this all turns out to be as good as the initial reports are stating, this set could be the second most important set released on the main label behind the YOUNG MAN set!! :clap:

The great thing about the wait is that it's only 2 months from now!!!!!!! This will be the first Elvis disc release since Sony took over that will be well worth the investment. I also believe this is the first time that they have done a CD-DVD Elvis project, too.(y)

Agreed Mike, what a time to be a Elvis fan right now so many quality releases being thrown our way.
Im most excited for the upgraded sound, and the dvd.

[peter]

This can be a great release.... but some questions are coming to my mind:
1.) Is there finally going to be full correct speed evening show from 10th June with correct song order?
2.) This one is obvious - what is going to be on the DVD documentary?

[dennyelvis]

Do u think it ran a bit quick, was it not corrected on the CM Set

The speed thing on MSG is a myth, it is on the correct speed. At least it is on the 90's Cd release as well as in the Complete Masters Box set.

That's all Right is in the key of A and Heartbreak Hotel is in the key of D. If it was speed it up, the CD should play them in the key of Bb and Eb respectively. Unless the band had tuned up half step down which is common practice, they did it during the July Stax session, the right key indicates there is no tweaking in the speed control. (We know for sure that the single version of Guitar Man was speeded up for whatever reasons, and indeed when you compare it with the unedited master which runs at the right speed in the FTD Guitar Man CD, there is a change in the key).

Now the An Afternoon In the Garden is suposedly on the right speed, and yet, That's All Right and Hearbreak Hotel, do also play in A and D, so there was no halfstep down tunning.

Now I haven't ever heard an original vinyl of the MSG, so maybe Ronnie Tutt was right that it was speeded up in the original release, but not in current releases.

About correct track listing I don't know, but there is a strange cut between Never Been To Spain and You Don't Have To Say You Love Me, and the fade out fade in between Love Me Tender and The Imposible Dream because of the original side switching. They kept that on the CM set which was unneeded.

There's definitely some editing for some reason on the orginal As Recorded At Madison Square Garden LP and CD version. As you mentioned between Never Been To Spain and You Don't Have To Say You Love Me is one of them. The other is between The Impossible Dream and the band intros. But I don't think it's songs edited out. I think it's just some dialogue where he's talking to the audience or band that was edited out so that, like Tut said, Colonel could get an extra song in for publishing rights. The disc/album runs at around 52 minutes while the afternoon show runs just over an hour at 61 minutes.

There's been rumors that Elvis supposedly talks about Reconsider Baby following the performance of the song just before going into Hound Dog during the afternoon performance, along with a false start on Can't Help Falling In Love that were both edited out of the 1997 release.

there's going to be 20 mins of the press conference.......

[vivaelvis]

According to some, the dvd is said to feature the entire press conference, which is about 17-20 minutes. Never before seen concert footage from opening night, and possibly the August 1972 footage backstage at the Las Vegas Hilton in his suite receiving the award for the MSG album. Apparently Sony owns that footage whichw as shot for Elvis On Tour, and not Time Warner.

Well the question remains, did Elvis simply did more song on the afternoon show (An Afternoon in The Garden CD)? or a couple of songs where left behind in the editing room for the original As Recorded at the Madison Square Garden L.P.

Soon we are finally going to know that for sure, isn't that exciting?

More than likely they paid a fee to Warner to use the footage. EPE has tried to negotiate with Warner in the past for a sale of TTWII and EOT or for some type of joint partnership on those films-Warners was not interested.
If Sony had somehow acquired EOT-it would have been all over the the boards I would think......especially since so much talk has been going on in the Elvis world about why no EOT SE with a bunch of outtakes.


I went to the Sony Pictures website and Elvis On Tour was not listed as one of their movies.
I also went to the new Sony movie channel and EOT was not listed.
But at Turner it is still listed in their movies for sale from their catalogue of owned films.

[KPM]

It's mentioned somewhere in this thread about Sony owning that footage. http://elvis-collectors.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=70896 I browsed thru that thread and did find a post where someone claims that according to one of Joe Tunzis books the "footage of Elvis getting the Gold Records for the MSG album" was in BMGs archives and so now it would be in Sonys archives.....that may be......but thats a long way from Sony now owning EOT and all the outtakes.
I also saw that someone posted a comment about Sony reaching a deal with Jonas Mekas to use his footage,
...and someone else posted the hope that "Warners" would open their vaults and come up with a multi-DVD set of EOT before the year is out.
But no outright claim that Sony worked out a deal with Warners and now Sony owns EOT and all film associated with it.
As I said looking at Sonys film sites and Turners Sony does not have EOT listed anywhere and Turner still has it listed in its catalogue of "their" films.
This is not nitpicking....its just what I found looking into it. If I found out it was Sonys film I would be just as happy.
(but a little perturbed since EPE has discussed with Warners the purchase of the concert films for years and Warners stonewalled leaving most to think EPE has not tried to acquire these films)

Not trying to be funny here, but do you have a reading comprehension? Never once did I say anything about Elvis On Tour being owned by Sony, nor did I allude to it. I simply said that the footage shot in his suite (or dressing room) that was filmed FOR Elvis On Tour was said to be in Sony's possession and not Time Warner's as expected.

I never knew the press conference was this lengthy, I've only seen about 6 minutes worth. Let's hope your right as this DVD section will be fantastic. Does anyone have a price on the set yet?

No I do not have a "reading comprehension-problem".... the word "problem" was not in your statement.... but I'm sure you meant it......"I figured that out".
If you want to debate "reading comprehension" -and implications of words, statements and meanings which ly hidden to some - but never the less- are still there....sure lets go! I am pretty good at it when I'm not tired.............But my problem misinterpreting your post was more due to "lack of sleep" over the last couple weeks than any lack of reading comprehension-I read, understand and discern truth from fiction very, very well.....but all of us have things which end up tiring the system.
I have not been able to post here as often because my mother was very ill last week..... and between work, hospital visits, and worry... I had no time.
I come here to actually unwind some from "the stress of that situation" but perhaps a sleeping pill would have been better.
Sorry to not get your post correct-but still if you want to debate "reading comprehension problems" hey I'm up for it!

While the set looks FANTASTIC, one thing I have noticed from this flyer is that they are advertising the DVD has having "key footage from historic MSG press conference". So judging from this statement, I am guessing that once again we are not going to get the ENTIRE MSG press conference??? :hmm:

One has to wonder...if it turns out to be true and we only are getting excerpts from the press conference, why won't they release the whole thing? Was the whole thing not recorded? Has some of the footage deteriorated over the years and is no longer usable? If this is supposed to be the ultimate release for the 40th anniversary, then why wouldn't they release the entire press conference...especially considering Elvis press conferences are so rare to begin with and this one is one of, if not THE most recognizable ones that he ever held in his career! :hmm:

Guess we'll have to see...but it does raise some questions...

I sure hope that Sony doesn't cut any corners and use black and white still shots for the album packaging, especially the front cover. Talk about cheap.(n) I'll still be buying though no matter how it looks or what the naysayers may think of the sound mixes. I've waited over 30 years for this to come out remixed and finally I will have it. That is, assuming I don't die before October 2.

[dennyelvis]

U know i got the same feeling in my bones, a B&W package ! although sometimes it can work, i think this set deserves colour ?

[KPM]

It's just that you seem to jump to conclusions and read into my posts the opposite of what I post. But anyway, sorry to hear about your mom. Hope she gets better.
No my friend I do not jump to conclusions-when I have proper rest.
I read, I discern, I "investigate" whatever post "anyone" posts that is unknown, or something "out of the norm" of what most know about Elvis or his legacy. Such as the baseball player-I wondered if it were complete fact or rumor.....I investigated.
IF anyone had posted that tidbit other than you I still would have "investigated"
From time to time in everyones posts there are "implyed meanings" that when taken within the context of the subjects facts or rumors, that are easily seen and the implication is there..........if its there- I question or investigate that implication.
The subject of the Disney deal with EPE for a tv channel of all Elvis or Elvis related in some way-IF anyone other than you had posted it-I would have "investigated it" because that rumor is nearing 20 years old... back to when Disney had the rights to both TV specials and put them out on VHS and was running them on their channnel. Its not who posts what its about what is posted-as I said TCB has a pretty good rep for trying to make sure posts are accurate about Elvis his life, his career, his legacy and all things related to him.
I have been here a while-love the forum, and love that TCB is a place where if you post it-"prove it"......or condition your posts so everyone knows this is not for certain-I have been challenged many times about something I posted with the question-"Where did that come from?"
I always try to find or recall where I learned something-the book, website interview, website video TV show, TV interview, Tunzi, EPE, etc...
and when I can not-I tell people so. Never have I been put off or upset because someone questions my posts-why should I....on the Internet everyone has the right to be skeptical...about 10 years ago I read in the St Louis Post that as much as 70% of websites on virtually any subject-had out and out lies or inaccuracies that tried to prove a point, make a statement or skew the truth. Thats a pretty hard thing to forget-and IMO no one should.
On this topic-the footage for the new MSG boxset-I just blew it-I had not been here much I tried to catch up quickly and missed some "important words" (words I fully "comprehend" during normal weeks with normal rest) if you check my 7000 plus posts-I do not do that often.
And.........my mom is better this week, might go home soon...but she is battling emphysema and congestive heart failure.

I've always said the original MSG show is one of my favorite concerts, but I seldom listen to it simply because of the poor sound quality! Let's just hope the remastering that has been done lives up to all of the hype!!! ;)

TCB!

My first record player was a small 12 by 12 inch suitcase that folded up with a handle.....the speaker was on one side and the about 2 by 2 inches.....I guess thats why remastered music is not as important to me-I like a better sound like everyone, but if you spent time listening to your vinyl records on a 12 by 12 portable record player for a couple of years...you'd see why my first adult stereo with 2 speakers (and a couple of small tweeters) seemed like the ultimate in sound to me. I today have a system which allows me to play my vinyl albums thru a surround sound....but am still happy listening on a normal everyday system.;)
Same with large screen tvs, DVDs, Blueray, VHS, etc...my first view of "black and white" TV was on a huge piece of wood furniture that had about a 12 inch screen:P it was more coffee table than TV, my step dad rented a color set in very early 60s to watch "Bonanza" in color (the only show in color if I recall) and we thought we were something.:D
I truely believe that forcing people into the next "big thing" is more about creating profit than better products. I am a hard sell I guess:lol:

Well this is much more about a new mix rather than better sound which is another story, although of course second must be included. But yes of course its about profit, I hope it does well in that are so this drift of new cool products on the mainstream label last a few years to come.

Sorry about Ricky Nelson, but this gives you an excellent example of this little record player. :lol:

Although I do like some of Ricky Nelson's recordings.
