When they were first starting to come out I remember going to best buy and saw maybe a hundred titles and there was one Elvis dvd. "Viva Las Vegas". I think VLV was the first Elvis dvd.

Jailhouse Rock was a lso relelased in 97 - remember seeing that and TTWII on display in a shop in Utrecht( Holland), I think it was and being able to afford just one I got TTWII(it was a US print). The disc broke during a house transit - still have the cover though.
