The EPE official site has some news today:
"30 #1's"
"Debuting at #1 [a first for Elvis] in the US, 3 straight weeks at #1, top in 26 countries, 9M world-wide sales".
"TT & F"
"Approaching gold status, 'best reissue of 2002' by the Rolling Stone magazine"
[Strange award for a release containing 100% previously unissued stuff].
"Close Up"
"Fully mixed & remastered from the original session tapes"
The latest track additions are:
'Loving You' - fast - Take 15
'Ku-U-I-Po' Takes 6, 7
'Night Rider' - Take 1 [my guess is the 16th Oct, 1961 version we had on 'Night Rider 61 - Studio B Sessions Vol.3' unofficial CD in 2002].

Thanks for that info ColinB. I always like the fast versions of Loving You.

9 million copies of ELV1S
It's a lot more realistic than the 16 million copies RCA claimed were shipped last January.

I bet there is a short list of artist that sold 9 million cds last year.
