here from the fan club june 1973 issue some ``back in time`` news at that time...enjoy it, bogarcon
The new Elvis` Camden album called ``FOOL`` will contain the four bonus songs included in the tv special ``aloha from hawaii``, but not in the album from the show. It`s a good idea to include the new versions of these songs because generally they were superior to the original versions.
*****************************
ALOHA FROM HAWAII album reached no.1 in both BILLBOARD and CASHBOX charts.

In England during the week of February 17 to February 24th, Elvis` movies played in 56 of a possible 101 theatres. ``THAT`S THE WAY IT IS`` was palying in 7 theatres and ON TOUR IN 49 THEATRES. iT SEEMS ELVIS ON TOUR has had a bigger succes over there then here in America...but considering the fact that this movie is still unreleased in the New York area, it is hard to judge its succes in the USA.

more than 8,000 people saw the ELVIS ON TOUR and THAT`S THE WAY IT IS package, andin Quebec City, 7, 500 people saw the same program. Note that it was screened in a big auditorium for only one night in each city.
