FTD will release Back in Memphis..something new?

Hey.

I read that FTD will release Back in Memphis in December.
Can we expect something unheard from the Memphis
sessions?
Hopefully they will release From Elvis in Memphis next year.

There will be much "unheard" material released officially because we really don't have much from these sessions. There has been tons released unofficially through the years, especially with the "The American Way" set. For those who only have official releases, you're more than likely in for a treat. For those who have everything released officially and otherwise, I'm sure there will still be a hidden gem or two to enjoy.

It is always possible, but expect to hear familiar outtakes in the best possible sound.

agree, can't see FTD releasing all the cussing that's on boot releases

WHAT????? No Dear Georgie???!!! No talk about the man in the moon??????

WTF?

I expect too see less editing on these sessions when it comes to language, simply one of his greatest recording sessions ever!!

agree.....my fav sessions......with all the cussing

One thing we haven't had much of on the quality bootleg releases are alternate vocal takes on the tracks Elvis overdubbed his voice onto when he returned to the studio following his laryngitis. We recently had two examples of Inherit The Wind and Mama Liked The Roses from Venus. I'm hoping for more of this kind of out-take. There's also original unrepaired vocals before his throat problems really kicked in, so there should be some "new" material on offer.

I'm wondering how the sessions will be covered. BIM and FEIM will cover a lot but it seems that they will need another double FTD CD to get everything from the sessions covered.

Hope this has "Suspicious Minds" as a bonus track. This way we can finally see and hear what the album would have sounded like if this songs was included. Over the years a lot of fans have said if this song was included in this album it would have been a much bigger hit and I agree.

I realize that the legacy release had Suspicious Minds on the Back In Memphis part of the disc already.

Yeah, I was listening to the Elvis Country FTD yesterday and it was refreshing to hear El's "..messed up the
fûç#īñg ending!" comment. What is the policy these days, I don't get why some are chopped, and others not

I would think there'll be a number of session 'leftovers', ie: My Little Friend, Who Am I, etc as the original album only runs about 30 minutes. Personally I am hoping for an undubbed My Little Friend with a dry vocal.

I would imagine Suspicious Minds would be included on From Elvis in Memphis when they get around to it, just because that album is stronger material.

It'll be enjoyable no matter what, I'm sure. I have the Venus discs but I'm really looking forward to this one the most out of all the Oct/Dec FTDs!

I think Don't Cry Daddy and Kentucky Rain can be included on Back In memphis, because both singles were release in the beggining of 1970. I belive some tracks without vocal repair, like Inherit The Wind there will be too. Let's wait for the track list...

I'm hoping they'll calm down about the routine type cussing, and just let people hear the sessions. "Dear Georgie" should not be released. ("Man In the Moon" is from January, 1968, and I don't think it's offensive in that other sense.) But though I know some fool was harassing him with letters, as Marty said, it was uncalled-for, and better left in the shredder. Again, it also contains violent sexual imagery as well, which is kinda odd. So, that one will not be released, and won't be missed.

As for the run-of-the-mill workaday cussing, well, I'd wager that Elvis has a lot of blue-collar hard-working fans who have heard those words before! And their kids have heard A LOT more! A whole lot more. I mean, if parents and even grandparents can't imagine Elvis talking like a hip-hop artist, well they should be reminded that when he recorded "In The Ghetto" in the ghetto, he was, in essence, home. He lived uptown when they first moved to Memphis. He was a street kid. Stanley Booth has written that some kids were warned about Elvis and some other boys by their parents: "them boys is hoods." I don't see this in Guralnick's portrayal, but Booth wrote it. (I believe it was in a TV Guide piece back in the day. I remember it distinctly.)

In any event, if you go to Google Maps, you'll see that 370 Washington, where the Presleys lived in 1948-49, is just several blocks southwest of St. Judes' Hospital, while 827 Thomas St. is a bit more to the north of St. Judes. The Washington St. address is right near Danny Thomas Blvd., the uptown name for Highway 51. Just to the west, between the two addresses, between 1949 and 1969 - between the young teen and the young man, is the "Uptown Neighborhood Association."

370 Washington is now a vacant lot, with a chain link fence.

God u ppl are so irritating! Uncalled for?? Violent sexual imagery best left for the shredder??? Dude get a grip this is 40 plus yr old recordings sold mostly to pointy head collectors anyway! U heard any of the garbage that's sold mainstream today??

WTF?

Great post!

The Legacy release will now be obsolete. I could see this coming, hence my non purchase of any "Legacy" re-releases.

Those two will most certainly see these:

WHAT????? No Dear Georgie???!!! No talk about the man in the moon??????

WTF?

I don't get the reference.. what have I missed?
I'm guessing it's something the PC police might find offensive?

WHAT????? No Dear Georgie???!!!
WTF?

"Dear Georgie" will be included. Here's the new FTD album cover:

Now you quit that this instant!

I'm wondering how the sessions will be covered. BIM and FEIM will cover a lot but it seems that they will need another double FTD CD to get everything from the sessions covered.

I think that's a possibility. We'll have to see how they compile the Back In Memphis release.
