APRIL FTD RELEASE!

[JeroenNL]

Will be a Classic Album release on 'That's The Way It Is'!

A single cd release will feature all important tracks to be found on the 3 cd boxset from a couple of years back.

I say: bring it on!!

[Johanesson]

You're funny

[Little Darlin]

Is this for real? Where did you ''hear'' that?

I want a new to us Concert

[Elfan]

Just read on the 'Elvis Unlimited' website that it will be a 2 C.D set, so I guess it's true.

I heard the TTWII rumour at the weekend. When I saw Jeroen's post my heart sank, but if it is a 2 disc set then there is plenty of scope for new outtakes, so my hope is restored

I wish they would rethink the soundboard FTD policy

[Dan_T]

I read it as a new 2 CD 7" Classic Album release of TTWII,And a seperate release of the CD that came with the TTWII FTD Book a few years back.which is a great CD.

Yep me too please ftd lets have another concert maybe a asheville cd set, or a tahoe 71 or 76 cd.
a few other wants and possibilities ....
king creole sessions
A soundboard of the aug 22 m/s 1971
Astrodome shows from 1970
And more vegas un released shows please

[Johanesson]

It would be good to know the track-list.
There aren't a lot alternate takes so if it will be a 2 CD-set then they'll use most of them probably. Plus a few singles and maybe the undubbed masters.
One thing is sure: i don't wan't added live recordings.

Are you referring to The Way It Was ?

We already had that on FTD !

Pay attention Colin !!! They are re-releasing The Way It Was Cd without the book (ie in a regular FTD digipak).

[MysteryTrain]

I'm excited to hear that the April FTD will be a classic treatment of the "That's The Way It Is" album. I can't wait to hear the Sebastian / Anesini treatment of the songs on this album, especially "Just Pretend," which is probably in my top 5 of Elvis' songs. As for soundboards, although I know some people love them, it wouldn't bother me if they never released another one. It's my understanding that they are not profitable because of the royalty payments required.

[JeroenNL]

Yep, sorry guys, it is the cd that came with the FTD TWII book... sorry about that!

I am !

Doesn't alter the fact that we've already had the CD released on the FTD label....................

Mystery Train

Almost correct. Not Royalties, but session fees to the musicians and backing singers.

SATAN i tell THEY!...

So hang on, is it both a 2 CD version of TTWII and That's the Way it Was in digipack? Or just the latter?

The former would be fine, but there's other albums much more in need of the 2 CD treatment. And after this title has already had a 3 CD treatment, it all seems a bit pointless.

The latter makes sense for those who couldn't afford the book.

I take it this means that CD only versions of Flashback, Writing for the King and Live in L.A. may follow....?

I still can't help but feel disappointed either way.
