He says over the next 5 years that never before heard music is coming out.This man continues to amaze me.
Another true believer is Robert F.X. Sillerman, CEO of CKX, which bought an 85% stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises in 2004. "The next five years will see an orderly release of new music, some never heard before," he says.

That'd be great , but they've been saying as far as never before heard songs go for a couple of years now that the well has run dry, so without yet reading the link , I suspect that this will mean re-mix and American Idol Duet type stuff , which isn't all bad . I liked the Little Less conversation, and Rubber Necking mixes and I didn't hate the American Idol thing though it wasn't a favorite of mine either.
I hope it's actual Elvis recording's like Bad Moon Rising etc.!!!
I only hope that he is not playing the same old game of alternate takes and of unheard concerts. They are never before heard but not really are they new music if we have many versions of the same songs. But lets hope there is something he knows that we don't and truely unreleased new songs are involved.
EPE has a tape in hands.. Home recordings of Elvis.. Charlie Hodge told that one time the tape recorder stood on.. Elvis did a vocal/acoustic version of ' I'll always love you'.

Joe Epsosito said in an interview when promoting his book Straight Up that he had a basement full of unreleased recordings in boxes waiting to be heard. I have no idea why this wasn't known until just recently. But it was good news to say the least. Now could this be what Bob Sillerman is referring to? Or is he referring to new reworked EP songs aimed at a new audience to promote the upcoming Vegas project? I guess time will tell. Obviously he has the money to back up any project.
I personally want a reworked 1969 sessions album. Both new and original version, upgraded.
I cant wait to buy those.
"When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was a hero in the movie. So every dream that I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times. I learned very early in life that without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend; without a song. So I keep singing a song." - Elvis Presley
I personally think that there is still a lot of unreleased materal out there, what you have to remember is when elvis was in the studio getting ready to record he used to warm up by singing just about anything, im sure this must have been put onto tape somewhere.
Also when he was looking to record a new song he would have demos given to him,from which he would choose which one to record. There must be songs that he thought sounded good on the demos, but after he had recorded them realised he didnt realy like the way it came out so maybe after only one recording it was dismissed.Thats what i think anyway, does anyone agree..
That live version of Moody Blue was released years ago.The Baxter release called Moody Blue and Ohter Great Performances.Ftd has already released most of the alternate takes they have.What's left is mainly sounboards.I wouldnt expect anything major to come along.The 30th would have been the year if they had something truly special.

About 10 years ago there was a story on Elvis World Japan about a lost tape featuring EP songs from the outtakes of Loving You. They were found in Hal Wallis' basement of his California home. One of the lost songs was a new one called Detour and it was a duet with Kitty White, who sang with EP on Crawfish. This story wasn't fabricated either. However shortly afterwards, the entire story and historic find just vanished into thin air. Sounds to me the people who found it either wanted too much money for them or is saving them for the right time to be released.
So my point is that there are still some lost recordings out there that we the fans and the general public doesn't know about. Ernst has even said that there are some gems out there in the wrong hands. It is possible that FXS is buying these lost recordings and by doing this is getting rights to them and will allow RCA to release them in the coming years. But from his statements, and seeing what an impact he has had already, i am anxious and excited about this news!
there Are Few more Of 1980 Sesions That not release and more 1969 sesion was remix by another person that work with Elvis in 1969 stuff.

Where could I find this interview, the idea of boxes of unreleased recordings in Joes basement sounds like promising news. I'd sure like to read the whole interview.Joe Epsosito said in an interview when promoting his book Straight Up that he had a basement full of unreleased recordings in boxes waiting to be heard. I have no idea why this wasn't known until just recently. But it was good news to say the least. Now could this be what Bob Sillerman is referring to?

If thats true I suspect we'll end up seeing a bunch of lawsuits over who really owns them and how Joe came into possession of them, and who should get a piece of any money that'll be made from them .
I totally disagree. Bob Sillerman has done wonders for EP and his tarnished image to improve it. The "new Parker? Not hardly. Parker wouldn't have even spent a dime to do for EP as Sillerman has. Much less had the vision and effort to make it happen. Ever since Bob Sillerman took over EPE, EP has been in the spotlight and national media on a POSITIVE side at that more so than he was in the past 10 years before Sillerman took over. His investments and plans for EP and for Graceland and Las Vegas are groundbreaking. He is making EP the icon historic figure that EP should be seen as and not a carnival act as the Colonel turned him into.
Sillerman is the kind of leader EP should have had in his lifetime. A man with a plan and a vision to see that plan through.
