How about a 1969 Change of Habit album?

6. Let's Be Friends (Alternate Overdub from Today, Tomorrow And Forever)

I can't find Let's Be Friends (Alternate Overdub) on my CD set of Today, Tomorrow And Forever is this the release you mean? if so your set is rare

I'm guessing "Steamstan" meant to say Let Us Pray.

Good guess!

Ouch, I'm so sorry for this Of course it was Let Us Pray

No worries, it wasn't difficult to know what you meant. At least, it wasn't for me.

Hope you enjoyed my replies.

But I'd personally go with a triple 1968 feature of Charro! / The Trouble With Girls / Live A Little, Love A Little, thereby freeing up the COH material to add some extra punch and variety to the remaining '69 Memphis tracks - as well [as noted] providing a bridge between respective sessions with the key track, Rubberneckin'.

I could live with that. It's really not a bad idea you have there, elvisalisellers.
Afterall, the sessions at American Sound in Memphis were truly a change of habit!

ELVIS - Winter of '69

Doc, loved your analogy of GI Blues songs being added to an Elvis Is Back package. LOL. That being said, many of you have more love for COH material than I do. That whole soundtrack, other than Rubberneckin',seems to be quite overrated, IMO.

Thanks. It's a cogent analogy.

Now, I very much enjoy the March 1969 "Change of Habit" material, especially because Elvis sings so well. The sessions are also significant as Elvis' last proper date of the 1960s. Only a Nashville overdub visit would be scheduled in 1969. Presley would not return for another formal session until June 1970 in Nashville, and never work with Chips Moman again, which was at best a shame, at worse a huge mistake.

But the music from March 1969 does not belong to the American Sound sessions, and should not be complied as such, as it will either be ignored or denigrated. Or both. Please excuse my sagacity, but I just couldn't help myself.

... many of you have more love for COH material than I do. That whole soundtrack, other than Rubberneckin',seems to be quite overrated, IMO.

What's your point? It'll still get an FTD treatment one way or another regardless of what you, me, or anyone else thinks of it.

No, it's an erroneous, knee-jerk-reaction analogy (regardless if stevelecher or anyone else loves it or not).

I'd personally tag the COH masters plus any stray alternates, as a bonus to a third Memphis '69 Classic Album FTD, rather than the other way around.

... It would be like throwing "G.I. Blues" outtakes on a bonus third CD to Elvis is Back!

Wrong. You took what elvisalisellers wrote completely out of context.

#1 - There is no possibility of a third (or second) FTD issue to Elvis Is Back! because all 18 songs from those sessions were covered on the one and only release needed. On the other hand it is extremely likely that a third volume of the '69 Memphis sessions is coming from FTD because there are still 10 more songs to be covered from those sessions.

#2 - There was no song recorded in Nashville at the March/April sessions that was used in the movie G.I. Blues... therefore no direct link. However, elvisalisellers has made it perfectly clear about "Rubberneckin' " being recorded at the Memphis sessions and used in Change Of Habit forming a link to the two.

Hope this helps

As far as I'm concerned the easiest way to deal with the post-Speedway films, the 1968 studio session and the remaining Memphis songs would be FTDs of the Lets Be Friends and Almost In Love albums, which could then steal songs like Too Much Monkey Business, Let Us Pray etc from other camden releases to complete the picture. Sadly that's not likely to happen now we are getting a Stay Away Joe disc, but the FTD Camden route would have been more fitting, provided a wider range of songs on each package (rather than just 7 or 8 different songs), and would have been better value for buyers as they would likely have been double discs.

The world that you see may seem to be a mystery to you.

COH probably will get FTD treatment, I agree, but hopefully not with Memphis 1969 recordings. Let Us Pray, Let's Be Friends, and Have A Happy do not belong on a CD with even the leftovers from Memphis.

They'll figure it out.

"Let Us Pray" is as good/worthy as "Who Am I".

Yes, they'll figure it out.

What a cool title and setlist . Can we have a mock cover for this release, please?. Thanks!. Bye for now .

IMO, that Winter of 69 concept would be one weak FTD. I think the better approach will be to attach one of these smaller soundtracks to one without many outtakes, like Roustabout or Kissin' Cousins. Those are weak FTDs too. This is what happens when you get near the end of the gravy train. Slim pickins no matter what they do.
