My auntie bought it today she was lucky as she got the last copy they had in the store. Do you think that they could release a follow up before Christmas?

I've played it 3 times now and I think it's simply WONDERFUl. Fans, who don't like it (and maybe didn't even buy it) should listen to it as if it was a brand new recording and stop listening to the input of the RPO only, but listen to it as a whole.
But to appreciate it, you have to like classical orchestras, of course.
It's a pity that only Sony UK has done a good job on promotion. I saw a tweet of a HMV store (forgot where) saying that it's back in stock. It seems that the stores weren't prepared on it selling well, so didn't order enough.
Just saw that as of now Amazon UK is out of stock. Amazon USA has been out of stock for several days now.

Agreed, surprised no one has uploaded it onto YouTube for us non UK-residents; heck even this video doesn't have the idiotic stupid region discrimination

I watched it last night and it was a pleasant surprise to me how much i enjoyed it.
Very interesting and a little sad.
The two elderly men who were interviewed i had never heard of before and some stories were fascinating especially when the black gentleman talked about how him and Elvis used to go to places when they were both kids, where there was segregation and Elvis still went to black areas regardless and how polite he was to his elders regardless of race.

Sam Bell has some wonderful stories to tell of his friendship with Elvis -- it's always a joy to hear him speak.Bodie wrote:I watched it last night and it was a pleasant surprise to me how much i enjoyed it.

There was also a photograph of Elvis and Parker circa 60 (if i recall correctly) that I do not remember seeing before. Unusually, Parker is looking intensely at Elvis like he really cares about him - anyone else notice this?

My guess is that pic is 1960.Hair is not black and looks like it is grown back and not greased slicked back.

Re: ITV - COMING SOON!!! JOANNA LUMLEY - "ELVIS AND ME"
I seem to be in the minority here, but to me, the factual inaccuracies ruined it. I thought we had moved on from the old days when documentaries appeared to be cobbled together by chimpanzees - just - with some joe off the street writing the script, but to say this was produced by Sony, and with Priscilla on board, you would think more effort could have been given to getting it right!
Granted, the interviews with Elvis' contemporaries were interesting but Joanna Lumley was a poor choice to host... such a big fan is she (didn't know he played piano, didn't know he smoked cigars etc.), her in-depth questioning of Dixie Locke included "Did he kiss you?". And how many times this week has Priscilla told the story of "Trilogy"? If it's true - I'm starting to take anything she says with a pinch of salt... much like Tom Jones' stories.
Best docs I've seen were made by BBC in 1987, as far as I recall they were shown only once - "I Don't Sound Like Nobody" and "Cut Me And I Bleed". Anybody remember them?
