When this happens, does it become more collectable to You?

[PEP]

When something like this happens.

Will the value go up over time in your opinion?

Does it become a more collectable Elvis item to You?

Have you ever looked for things like this on other Elvis Albums?

What other Elvis Albums have encountered the same fate that You know about?

PEP

[Rob]

Not a collectable to me at all. I have a replacement cover for my CD on the way. When I get the replacement, I'll probably give the misprint to someone who wants it.

There are a lot of misprints and bad spelling on several imports as well. You'd think that someone would proof read officially released material a little more carefully though.

I think FTD/BMG/SONY did this on purpose knowing that this release, with a total of only 5 or 6 true titles/songs, was going to be a poor seller.
Collectors now feel they have to have both version and thereby FTD have double the sales on this release.
A sceptic, who me?

That's truly how I feel about it.

Maybe,but not significantly and not in the near future.

No.

No. It's just an annoying mispelling. I'll buy the corrected version.

Hmm that's a new twist.

Is there any other Albums you feel RCA has done this on purpose for in the past?

I think they'll start doing this to all of them from now on. I also think that they'll start doing it on the front cover as well and that they'll start posting pictures of ETA's instead of Elvis himself.

They have to get up pretty early in the morning to put one past us.

The spelling of the cast of GirlHappy FTD is embarassing.....Herald J. Stone, Gory Crosby, Nito Talbot, etc.
Yes, I prefer the mistake copies, they make for better conversation.

None that I can think of right now but as devils advocate (and I know I'll probably get shot for what I'm about to post) I feel WITC is the weakest FTD thus far.
Even in the days of the DOUBLE FEATURES issues it was left till the last batch and was part of a TRIPLE feature because of the limited number of tunes.
With only five songs to go at I (personally) find it a boring listen......... that's my opinion and I don't expect ANYONE to agree with me here but it is truly how I feel about it.
Still I did purchase it to keep my collection complete so that now raises another question doesn't it?
Will I be purchasing the (on its own without the book) THE WAY IT WAS CD to keep my collection complete ? Well, no............ I already have it with the book
Will SONY/BMG/FTD add something new to entice me to purchase it yet again........ I think possibly but I'll have to wait and see because I really don't know

To buy or not to buy....there's the rub!

I have to buy it for completeness reasons.

I agree that Wild In The Country allowed little scope for an ideal release.

Hopefully, at least for my (hopefully) kids or grandkids after I've kicked the bucket.

No

No,

Only know of the FTD "Tuscon '76" that was of course meant to be "Tucson '76" and a spelling error inside the booklet in "Live In Las Vegas"

NO... I don't care in the least.... I mean how F@#$ing lame! Now to collect cds that have ELVIS' name miss spelled as if it's some sort of "collectable" to cherish...... stupid.

Is it any different to a person who collects postage stamps that have errors on them? Not that I don't think that in itself is a sad way to get your kicks, but as a hobby it's not considered unusual.

[Spellbinder]

Yes - quite different.

[AndrewJ]

My version of the Madison Square Garden CD refers to a Colonel 'Tim' Parker in the liner notes - i don't regard it as collectable just a sloppy re-issue. I think most of us feel the same about mistakes

Andrew

[buddy holly]

I only bought it because of the misprint. I think it won't be valuable because the kind of people that pay money for spelling mistakes will all already own a copy. It is funny to own though. I can show it when I try to entertain guests about the joys of my collection.

[Richard Palmer]

Is it any different to a person who collects postage stamps that have errors on them?

Yes - quite different.

Only in size. And you can't stick a copy of WITC on the corner of an envelope as payment to post a letter. But other than that, I see no difference.

Bloody hell, it's like being back in A-level maths.

OK, first of all I should probably have said "Is it any different than a person..." rather than "...to a person.." And if that's all you meant I'll be mightily annoyed. Other than that then, no, it's eluding me. A postage stamp or sheet of stamps can have the same face value as a CD. Errors can be detected on stamps after they go on general sale, just like this CD. No, I have no idea. But I bet it's really obscure, and I bet I can argue my way out of it.

I make no comment about your grammar although even if I did I wouldn't give a damn if you were mightily annoyed or not.

OK, so the difference, even as big as it is, is still eluding you. So be it. You'll just have to think harder about it. Get back to me when you've worked it out.
