Special 80th announcements...
We have May 2015 now, the 80th birthday was in January. We had a strange Sony announcement but still no special release. A special release should be placed nearby the birthday and not in August as Elvis died .
Was it a rumour or do we get the big surprise ? Honestly I thought we get some nice releases during the whole year.

I have no idea what SONY has planned. But whatever it is it's likely to be available for purchase during the 38th anniversary of Elvis' passing. Like it or not, that's the next time the media will focus on Elvis.

Re: Special 80th announcements...
I remember originally reading the Sony quote regarding the year long 80th celebration on this site . Then there was the statement about a release that would " make the hair stand up on the back of your neck". But these seem to be rumors or speculation. My guess is we'll continue to get FTD's and occasional Legacy releases throughout the year, and maybe one really nice release this summer, and I'm fine with that type of release activity
If there is to be a special release in time for Aug 16 there will probably be an announcement soon.

Personally, I'm fascinated (and very excited) by Elvis being included in a Christmas compilation later in the year that has the most wonderful cover design according to the German Amazon site. No doubt, it's a high-powered performance!

Re: Special 80th announcements...
This CD and the Christmas release will make the 80th an anniversary for the ages . If only Frank Sinatra Jr. would record an Elvis tribute album we could all die happy !Mike Windgren wrote:Hi there!! .

Re: Special 80th announcements...
I don't agree with it, but every year Elvis' death gets more media attention than his birthday. I mean 'Elvis week' is based around his death. I expected a big cd release to be around that time... I'm sure it'll be just another remix album, but its always fun to get the hopes up.
Re: Special 80th announcements...
That's going to attract a few positive reviews, I wonder how much they'll charge?poormadpeter wrote:Personally, I'm fascinated (and very excited) by Elvis being included in a Christmas compilation later in the year that has the most wonderful cover design according to the German Amazon site.

Re: Special 80th announcements...
Since were not far from August , I think it's safe to say that the idea of an Elvis 80th celebration has long been forgotten. I wonder how that rumor started ?
I received a catalog from Graceland Mail Order today and the 80th is not even mention there except for an illustrated guitar , and they usually cash in on every anniversary.

Re: Special 80th announcements...
Yeah, i got the catalog too, nothing in there i would want. That guitar looks hideous and they are always cheap brand guitars. As for the 80th, there's nothing, The "Today" legacy looks like a useless release and this new remix/duet, w/e it is, looks like complete rubbish. The only celebration will be the people at Graceland for the week. Other than that, the world goes on without a peep from Elvis in the media world (CD releases that is).gantonicel@aol.com wrote:Since were not far from August , I think it's safe to say that the idea of an Elvis 80th celebration has long been forgotten.

I think the Elvis Forever Stamp and CD is a good start.

Re: Special 80th announcements...
Not to be a downer, but no one cares about that except hard core Elvis collectors or stamp collectors. It is not in the media at all like the first stamp was. It will come and go.barry wrote:Dnorman90 wrote:Yeah, i got the catalog too, nothing in there i would want. That guitar looks hideous and they are always cheap brand guitars.

Re: Special 80th announcements...
My mom sent me a text to let me know about the stamp and CD...but then, she knows to be on the lookout for Elvis-related material in the news.r&b wrote:Not to be a downer, but no one cares about that except hard core Elvis collectors or stamp collectors.

Re: Special 80th announcements...
It may well come and go, but will be interesting to see how many copies sell.r&b wrote:Not to be a downer, but no one cares about that except hard core Elvis collectors or stamp collectors.

Re: Special 80th announcements...
I guess the legacy today set has nothing to do with a special 80th birthday release. It is just a legacy edition.

Re: Special 80th announcements...
Don't think you can call the Today release "special" as it is just a run of the mill typical release that would be released regardless of what year it is.
