I hate that cover and that disc. Garish. And why didn't they call it "From Tupelo, a boy"?

Have fun with it...

Have fun with it...

Thank you, I'll try

Looks like a nice release, but I hope that FTD at some point will bring us a "live in the 50's" release. Would be cool to have the tv performances on Elvis second album as bonus in their classic album releases (due to lack of studio outtakes).

Which shows how stupid some of this bashing is - a number of PD companies already have released a disc of the 1956 TV performances on CD and no-one on here as uttered a word against it.

Looks like a piece of Sh1t to me.

I don't like the cover for this release at all!

Have clusters of insiders under multiple login names been feverishly promoting these releases, making absurd claims of grandeur about them? If any threads about individual titles exist - where are they?

I'll be having a listen this evening.

Can I ask where you got it?

Amazon.uk is selling it

Ernst and BMG have no reason to complain. They put out a very affordable in house alternative LP which is what they should have done in the first place. That should stem any bleeding from the MRS release.

Again, the European law is not "corrupt." It's actually one of the most sensible laws on the books. Protecting, preserving and extending out culture is far more important than protecting corporate bottom lines and investment.

I doubt BTW that Sony paid big bucks for the tapes after all they were buying tapes for a nice boxed set.

I am not sure why some of you are asking for the TV performances when they have already been released on the main label.

You should be asking the TV performances in DVD format, ie. dorsey shows, berle shows, steve allan show.

I like the MRS cover but I won't be buying this one, since there is nothing new is on it.

I agree, the 1998 CD release of "A Golden Celebration" (a.k.a. The Golden Box) features the TV performances in
good sound quality and, to be honest, I don't think they could sound much better than that considering the source.

What we need is a DVD, as they did with the Ed Sullivan shows.

About the topic, I won't get MRS' "Live Hits Of The '50s" as there's nothing new for me on it.
A few months ago someone here kindly sent me a good sounding version of the
"I Forgot To Remember To Forget" YouTube rip, so I don't need this release.

I'm willing to bet that if MRS does a TV Appearances project, it would be a DVD rather than a CD.

He obviously didnt get it from amazon......perhaps Elvis Shop in the UK.

This is long over due and hopefully something can be done to get these performances out on Dvd soon!

You seem to have a lot of time to worry about crappy PD releases, which I agree they are pure crap, but serve a purpose in introducing new people to Elvis, plus its easy money for these produces to make a fast buck (all be it they have to pay publishing fees ect which as said before is up to 9% of the CD cost), but that said none of these PD releases have done anything but lift the music and reissue it. Unlike MRS who have without doubt put a lot of time and money into the projects they do, like it or not, I am not here to judge either way, if its good I will buy it, if its not I won’t and MRS releases are the only PD releases I have in my collection (yes Matthew I have had a few FREE copies sent to me, but to keep you and the likes of a few others happy I have always given them away, as I have also bought a copy, as I never expect to get a FREE copy).

Anyway back to the point Matthew why don’t you spend just 5 minutes and browse through just the first few pages of Amazon.co.uk under the title Elvis Presley under the music section, and you will find a mountain of PD releases, I had a quick look and I was shocked at the amount.
I am sure you’ll find the 56 TV shows in amongst them somewhere. But also what does it really matter to you anyway as you won’t be buying them anyway?

The Golden Celebration set is long out of print, and historical performances such as these should be IN print - some of us are still wondering why they weren't included the Big Beat box. Golden Celebration is currently selling for around £26 on amazon, which is a lot of money if you are only looking for one CD's worth of the material on it.

And no, I'm not going to post the covers of the PD releases of the TV shows. I have linked to them a number of times before and really can't be bothered to do so again.

As for Matthew's comments, I think you are missing the point. MRS gets talked about here from a moral point of view more than anything else. if someone promotes their work then, frankly, they are sensible - if I was selling something I'd probably do the same. The suggest here was that the MRS would release the TV performances and then we would go through this rigmarole of hating them for it. But putting politics aside, PD companies have been issuing that material for at least five or six year, and no-one gave a damn - which links to my recurring point that it is not the issuing of material that people have a problem with but the man behind the label. I just think it would be considerably more honest to admit that fact.

And what makes it even more pathetic as far as Mathew is concerned he does not buy Bootlegs and PD releases, so why get so up set over a CD release you aren’t going to buy?

Or is Matthew secretly a chairman of Sony and is just venting his frustration at possible lost sales of a Sony produced CD? To these pesky PD’ers and Bootleggers, who have no care or consideration to anyone or anything, just money in the pocket.

There is nothing "sensible" about a law that allows for over-saturation of product in varying degrees of quality - and a loophole that somehow allows one to actually steal content from someone else's actual source. That is different than a PD law that allows for the use of previously copyrighted works - the concept is not that the public will lift images or music directly from the original copyright's source.

AGREE 100%, but the problem exists within the laws itself and originates from there!! Fix that and everything else will fall into place, but that does`nt seem to be a priority at this moment and has`nt been for several yrs!
