GOT IT!!! Greatest Live Hits of the 50s from M.R.S.

Sorry if I upset you BillyBlues.....I'll try harder next time....

It's not a matter of upseting me (I'm not upset)... It's a matter of making things worse for all members. I hope you get to understand it instead of unnecessary MRS marketing (we all know who they are, what they do and their releases, really...). Don't take it as offense because that's not my point. But I think that if you want to promote them so much, you should be showing others (as in other forums or websites) that giant post. Around these parts people have deep knowledge of MRS and their activities... And it wasn't much of a problem when PEP decided to post it. The problem is the endless quoting of it, because it makes following the topic a worse experience for everyone.

Sofar Billyblues you're the only one that is complaining....so it must upset you.
By the way....I'm not promoting MRS....FTD is on there too as well as other public domain releases.
Months ago we had a topic in which a certain members financial position was discussed over endless pages.... ....not Elvis releated....also a while ago one of your buddies had a loooooong signature/big picture for weeks in a row at the end of his posts...took up almost half a page....I did not hear you pointing this out once....
So....shall we go back on track and discuss MRS latest release.
I don't have it yet but hope to get it this week.

Ive always appreciated the booklets and design of the MRS issues. they are of high quality and IMO that puts them on a level above other PD companies.

The silent Tupelo Benefit newsreel footage from 9-26-1956 (afternoon show) was previously-unknown to fans. They added the RCA audio from the show, first released on Elvis: A Golden Celebration (likely without permission), to recreate the live experience. Although some claim the footage was intentionally degraded prior to release on DVD, I've found nothing to verify this.

Thanks..John..as always ..much appreciated info..

What about any new audio material..?

Their audio engineers are so skilled that hearing content ripped from other sources is like hearing it for the first time on MRS releases!

New? Don't think so.

Geez, no one is being forced to buy the product, if it appeals to you and you want it, go for it, regardless if it's Sony, MRS, FTD, or whatever, to each his own.

I totally agree.

I purchased Young Man with the Big Beat (Sony) in 2011 and got A Boy From Tupelo (FTD) in 2012, and I love them both. I don't need to get any unofficial knock-offs of the material originally released on these two wonderful box sets. I love the art, the writing, the untampered photos and the audio on each of these essential Presley products.

Good enough, you've made your decision and you've officially let it be known, now let everyone else make theirs and move on with your life.

Do these comments bother you? They must, since you feel the need to censor my thoughts. Sorry, I won't be playing that game.

Thank you.

Well, there is that MRS watermark across the footage, which is rather ironic!

True, it is a distraction, but the rumour is that the quality of the found Tupelo newsreel footage is better than that seen on the DVD, leaving the door open for a later "upgraded" edition. But I've found nothing credible to support the notion the producers altered the film prior to issuing it on DVD.

My credible feeling is the dvd was purposely released down-graded, but it's still some cool footage.

Out of curiousity..has MRS ever released anything new to collectors..I really have no clue..

The dry "That's All Right" debuted on MRS I think. Someone will correct me if that's wrong.

I believe Sam Phillips released it on Sun Records first.

Good one, RonBaker2003.

Of course, you are correct.

The release date of the 'dry' "That's All Right" was July 19, 1954, the medium was 45 and 78 RPM vinyl.

In 1973, near-perfect counterfeits of the 45 RPM Sun 209 were issued, on different colored vinyl. See the fabulous book, Bootleg Elvis, for more on this.

It is nearly impossible to STEAL something new, I guess.

I'll be having a listen this evening.
