Buying Elvis ftd cds.

[curtis simpkins]

I have to re-think of the cds i was going to get this week.
so i have pick only 2 cds 6 is way to much to send the money,
and two weeks i s a long time to get pay again.
so the 2 cds i be getting are,

on tour Rehearsal
and closing night concert.

these well be the best for now tell next pay day.

[delvisologist]

with Closing Night you'll have fun if you like Elvis fooling around and messing up song like i do...but i felt no passion in the songs almost at all when i listened to it.

I enjoy the overimposition of Bridge Lyrics over Suspicious Minds music...really funny....El could do anything with music

[NightRider]

A great choice Curtis...both are essential releases in my opinion....i am sure that you will enjoy them

Which ones do you have so far ?

[EP4MEUK]

I do hope you can help me wth this. I want to start my collection of FTD and I am not to sure what to start with any thoughts anyone ? I feel very silly not having any since fans that I have spoke to and read posts about them highly recommend so many, thank you in advance for any suggestions

love and peace,
Susan.

Susan, I don't have them all, but I am confident in giving the following advice...

I think the recent release of On Tour The Rehearsals would be a great place to start, since that material seems to appeal to most all Elvis fans.

But if you're primarily into Elvis' soundtrack material, you might try Viva Las Vegas, which is probably the strongest of the bunch. Or do you have a favorite movie that's been given the FTD treatment? Or if there are too many of those to choose from, maybe try Out In Hollywood or Silver Screen Stereo. But getting one of the soundtracks in the 7" deluxe packaging is the way to go, I think most would agree.

Want a concert? I'd recommend the Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis CD to start out with, which also came in the 7" deluxe digipack.

The Jungle Room Sessions is held in pretty high regard, and rightfully so. Generally I would say if you're not much into that material, then choose something else. But that release shone such a more positive light on the sessions from which came the EP Blvd and Moody Blue albums, and in the case of many of the songs, it is like hearing them for the first time.

The Nashville Marathon is another that, I believe, if you're an Elvis fan at all, you have to like it.

If outtakes from the sixties float your boat, there are a few of those to choose from...which you probably know.

Though some people don't like the disjointedness of this release, 6363 Sunset is high on my list.

Well, I probably shouldn't go on, because the more I say, the more difficult I'm making it for you!

Good luck, and don't feel silly!

[EP4MEUK]

Thank you for the suggestions I can not wait to recieve my very first one I then will no longer be a FTD virgin

Now where can I get them now I do feel silly I have looked on a few UK music sites but they do not appear to have many if any at all... help I am lost

love and peace,
Susan.

heres a couple of places to look www.essentialelvis.com or E-MAIL:editor@nowdigthis.co.uk while your there ask about thier magazines they great.hope this helps

[Lonniebealestreet]

Susan,

You're welcome. And geordie's recommendation of Essential Elvis is a good one. Well, I've only bought one from them so far, but based on how quickly I got that one (not in relation to when I ordered it, but to the release date), I intend to buy all my FTD's from them from now on.

BTW, Curtis, I bet your EOT CD will get a lot of play!

I know you're going to LOVE the ON TOUR REHEARSALS CD Curtis!!! I've had it for about a month now, and it still hasn't come out of my CD player yet! This one is DEFINITELY an essential release and an EXCELLENT choice!!!

As for CLOSING NIGHT, I hope you'll enjoy that one more than I did. As Gordon stated, if you like Elvis goofing around, then this one is for you! But I also didn't really detect much feeling or passion in any of the songs on this CD....he really just sounded like he was going through the motions during this show!! But maybe you'll have a different opinion of CLOSING NIGHT once you have a chance to hear it for yourself!!

Regardless of my thoughts though, Curtis, I hope you really enjoy your CD's when you get them!!!

TCB!
Mike

[curtis simpkins]

Thanks Guy's!.

I know i well like Elvis on tour cd this one well get played frist.

it's very hard to pick ftd cds now since i am way way behind on these.
but i hope i get all of them soon..

[curtis simpkins]

well folks i wont be bying any Elvis cds for this month the ones i was going to get, because my car front windows has a crack in it and it's getting bigger
everyday, so i have to get it fix and plause ny car insurince is about due has well.

so looks like no E cds for for a waile.

it is one thing after a nother.

oh well i have a lot of elvis music to keep me going anyway,

[delvisologist]

i'm always saying that curtis.

always broke my friend being a student is even worse. almost 400 euros on car insurance due this month plus a big present to my girlfriend for 3 occasions....this month's the worst for me.

and btw...my car isn't even worth 400 euros

Maybe in two months i'll be able to buy something that i like

[curtis simpkins]

That's suck's Gordon!.

but to let you know i don't have a girlfriend yet, but i hope someday i well
and if i do find one i hope she's an Elvis fan like me.

but for now i happy being single and try to get new Elvis music when i can.
i still leave with my folks because renting a house here is way to much money
here in the U.S.

i hope thing's go well fore me here soon.

[Mr.Vegas]

I was really happy when ftd decided to release closing night because that show is one of my favourite concerts.I have just now completed my ftd collection with the flashback cd book,what a great selection of songs.
I am really looking for the next releases by the ftd.

I picked up the Live At The International 1969 FTD cd off ebay for ?15 which is a bit cheaper than the usual outlets. Should be with me in a few days!
