Over 60,000 photos of Elvis found

[Johnny]

According to Elvisinfonet over 60,000 pictures of Elvis have been found in the archives of the Colonel, as well as menus from every Las Vegas show (in excellent condition), as well as every movie script of every Elvis movie, all original studio acetates, audio tapes and signed contracts.

:cool:

Please forgive me if this has been posted on TCB-World before, but I don't come here that often.

But if this is true, then I hope those tapes will be released - as well as at least some of the pictures

At the Elvis Insider's conference they had a presentation on this with some video footage. The Colonel had several copies made of every single thing Elvis ever did that was recorded or promoted, including all the promo for it. . It is a huge collection. It is all in pristine condtion. As a matter of fact, the new dvd set coming out " The complete Ed Sullivan Shows" was made possible, partly, by this find. Apparantly part of Elvis's performance was never complete because the Sullivan's show had chopped it up for a promo spot and left it that way. Now, with the Colonel's collection, we have the complete show. I wish I would have taken notes. But you can bet we will see some exciting stuff in the years to come, and if not anything else, some new and improved versions of current releases. His office was literally a shrine to Elvis. It was interesting to see some of the photos he had framed. I could have picked some better. But, it is amazing.

Its amazing how many photos of Elvis exsist. Every single time I come to this site, before I enter the forum here I end up seeing photos that I've never seen before in any of my books or magazines and I have a fair number of books. To think we've not even seen the tip of the iceberg if that report is factual is incredible. Elvis had to be the single most photographed person ever.

[Elvos77]

It was a lot of years ago when they obtained the stuff, my question is ,what took them so long?

If they release everything at once, they'll have nothing left. Businesswise, it doesn't make sense.

[Tommy]

Great news!!

[Elvisgirl]

how exciting!

[ad schijven]

I wonder how long it will take the people of EPE too sort out the whole collection of the colonel. The man has been gone for years and they still find new stuff in his collection. Was his collection that huge or are those people just so slow?? :hmm:

[0349054]

The Colonels collection spans Elvis's entire career. There's a lot in there, a lot to catalogue and archive properly.

[MISSCLAWDY]

Goood! I hope we're able to see at least some of them soon!!!:D
I think Elvis is the most photographed man in the world , ever!!!!

[memphis 77]

i would doubt anything that e.p.e say, before they bought the collection it was catalouged, one thing about COLONEL he was meticulous in preserving , and catalouging everthing elvis. I also know that there is some film from 69, tod morgan tolds me of it yeras ago , where E.P. is closing a show and he saw bits of this, and this conversation took place 10 years ago.Again i wouldn't believe anything that e.p.e says, just my opinon though. but its great to know that we have 60 ,00 pics , i'll bet they will put them on cups, plates, diapers etc....

For once I agree with you:D
I would love to know if there was any concerts taped/filmed in the Colonels collection..........was this spoke about too

[Menwithbrokenhearts]

They talked about copies of all the sound and video recordings (movies) . Not sure if that meant outtakes and all or just the finished product. The didn't say anything about unreleased material as far as video and audio. Well, except that Ed Sullivan bit.

69' Footage! It just doesent exist, not professionally anyway.

EPE won't put Elvis's image on diapers, the whole point of the company is to prevent *****s doing things like that.

[jak]

I would like to be proven wrong but I think the overwhelming majority of the items the colonel kept would just be classified as collectables.Menus,promotinal items etc.Its highly doubtfull any major finds in audio or video will surface.

I'm so happy all that material is not any longer in "the Colonel" hands... :clap:

[memphis 77]

i still have the magazine/book they published about E.P. and the colonel, and it's pretty flimsy on details , i just sows elvis gifts to the colonel along with some photos that are inserted in the book [some nice ones] the cover shot is sure nice, but i believe the estate are vague as usual, to reply to the imbisul who clasimed the estate don't produce tacky stuff, well friend you have not bin to the shops or online to see the dross they come up with i mean, choclates, bicycles, slippers,plates,cups,pens, sacks, i mean i love the man and his music, his greatest legacy was the music he left us and the thousands of photos of him that can be put into photo books[they can publish the greatest books, yet they waste his image on decanyers and other shit like that] but then again if your one of those fans who wears the watch, has the lighter, pen ,skirt, mug, etc.. then i understand you need professional help.:P :P :P

No, i'll leave that to you. At the same time perhaps you can get to grips with punctuation, spelling and grammar? EPE do prevent tacky products, such as toilet paper.

Perhaps you would like EPE not to follow in the Colonel's footsteps at all and just let bootlegers do what they like.

You really are an ignorant person. Learn how to spell before you try and abuse anyone. Still waiting on those court doc's! lol

[Polk-Salad-Annie]

WOW!!!!!!!!! 60.000 pictures, that is a lot.:supriced:
Its amazing how many photos of Elvis Presley exsist.
It would be very cool if these tapes and pictures would be released.

[memphis 77]

well i'm sorry for my poor grammar teacher, i would love it if the bootlegers had no one to stop them, i think of all the graet releases we got on cd because of them asshole, thanks to FORT BAXTER, LUXOR etc.. we now have a collectors label [FTD] not to mention MEMPHIS SOUND for putting out the DVDS of E.P. ON TOUR AND TTWII, CBS OUTAKES ETC... I PRAISE the bootleggers for giving REAL FANS exactly what they want, and who cares if the bootlegers wouldn't be licensed by E.P.E. they wouldn't make any worser CRAP than THE SHOPS ACROSS GRACELAND HAVE, so it's obvious you collect that shit, i think they can do a hell of alot better things with his image and likeness, than plaster it on a garbage can , slippers, watches, cups etc.., but im sure one of the many who sips their coffe out of the elvis mug, eats on the elvis plate, tells time with the elvis watch , walks around in the ellvis slippers, and god forbid wears the elvis nightgown with all the rolls of fat hanging out.:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

No im quite thin. But what the heck, let a few leeches live off all of Elvis's hard work. Cant you express yourself without descending to cursing, because most articulate people can!:clap:

This is great news! Wow. Thanks for sharing.

Memphis77 and 0349054, could you please stop this style of conversation, the both of you.

Respect each other is all we ask.

Sonny

[memphis 77]

i do appoligise to everyone on the board, i also appoligise to 33, i just hope we get to see most of these photographs in well published books. Again i appoligise to everyone, i don't wish to ruin this or anyother thread.

[snowbird]

69' Footage! It just doesent exist, not professionally anyway.

EPE won't put Elvis's image on diapers, the whole point of the company is to prevent *****s doing things like that.

The only point of the company is to make MONEY MONEY MONEY, mountains of money with ELVIS' name, no matter how.

[memphis 77]

this is the reason that e.p.e have a marketing team[to make money], any way and any how they can which includes plastering his photo on anything, i thank all of the bootleggers out there who have given us product, that we all want, i'm talking soundboard cd's, DVD's [like ON TOUR, TTWII , outakes , and of course CBS ELVIS IN CONCERT, THE 2 COMPLETE SHOWS], IT'S FUNNY how the bootleggers get a bad rap, when they are supplying exactly what REAL FANS want, i know some of them that are behind these things, they have paid big bucks for this stuff, and some took a risk in taking this and when they produce it on dvd or cd, let me tell you that just about break even, so yes I LOVE BOOTLEGS, I sure as hell don't believe anything that E.P.E. say, how convienent it is when they have exhausted all the footage , they some how find something in storage,etc... As 33 stated that they are just another who is making money off E.P.,GOOD LORD take a look at E.P. and how they have explited him with any oputunity to make a buck, and these are people that don't even like ELVIS PRESLEY, IT'S also histerical that 33 complains about bootlegers, and yet is on another board telling people that she has a copy of THE CBS OTAKES DVD[what an *****]:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

[Sonny]

There you go again... Be careful.

We all know what you mean by now, I'm sure.

And I'm a patient guy, cuz otherwise someone might've given you an official warning by now.

So, we get your point, believe me.
Give it a rest.

Sonny

[Talvis]

That is amazing news
