You sure devote a lot of time on this forum to arguing, rather than contributing.

Always have, I suppose always will. Sad.
By your "liking" of the trolls, they have an incentive to keep up the "good work" of derailing threads you do not like. And you have hardly to type at all, they do it for you. But you knew that already! Very sad and pathetic.

By your definition a troll is someone who disagrees with your opinion, highlights the excessive praise and hyperbole of the mediocre and highlights the truth about the failure of the Elvis system when appropriate.

Call it what you like. But you've been warned of your behavior. You wouldn't have been, if it wasn't trollish. Agitating for the fun of it. You posting history speaks for itself.

Wikipedia:
In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal, on-topic discussion,[3] often for the troll's amusement.
With 61 "pledges," 98 "Padres," and 147 posts referring to Felton Jarvis, it is quite clear you fit the definition of a troll.

You've been spouting elitism since the start of this thread by putting down people's views repeatedly - you just don't even realise it, which is kind of amusing.

Well it wasnt me who said only outtakes that you deem worthy that you already got to hear should be available to the unwashed masses. All i did was point out that this track is hardly majestic but rather a Felton Jarvis overdubbed monstrosity-i never suggested people who like it shouldnt have access to it because it doesn't live up to my standards as you did for outtakes. Pointing out that the record buying public agreed by ignoring this track as a single is the opposite of elitism-the masses cast their vote and agreed with me by voting with their wallets. Of course you also regularly dismiss record sales as a barometer which is another sign of elitism ie i know better than the people-um okay.

Pardon me for going OT just for a moment.
You have several times made those same comments about "book burning" and "censorship", so let me ask you a couple of questions.

Regarding censorship...do you consider it to be censorship because something that was rejected on artistical grounds for not being good enough, is not released? If you say yes, why do you think the artist should not have any saying in that?
What do you think about EIC being released on mainstream DVD/BR? If you say no, why?

Depends on the circumstances. If an artist owns their works and made provision that unreleased recordings or works never be shared publicly, that is not censorship. If the artist as is the case here, sold their master recordings pre 1973 and made no provision in their will to shield outtakes from post 1973 work from the public then both the rights holders and estate are free to do as they choose. If the artist had expressed a view that the post 1973 recording outtakes never see the light if day, a true fan would have a legitimate onjection. Note for example Elvis requested if iirc Dominic not be released when he was alive but said nothing about posthumously. So if the artist was indifferent and Elvis was, claiming outtakes should not be released is censorship. Worse yet is saying after you had the chance to hear them they arent worthy and no one else should smacks of elitism. Who appointed the one or few as the arbiter for the many. Ernst has served that role for many years because he was vested by virtue of rhe ownership of the masters and outtakes by the record company. And while along the way he clearly made artistic and commercial choices, i dont want him or any one else telling me what is worthy of release though he clearly used good judgement in the sequencing. I can make up my own mind as the artist expressed no such desire. I want every take of every master sequentially yes including Padre. Censorship and elitism should never be condoned.

Except that is not what was said. Why don't you go back and find where o supposedly said these things about who should hear what? Who said I had heard/should hear the outtakes and no one else should? Not me. That's all in your warped, obsessive mind. What I said was that many/most should not have been released. Elvis nor any other artist could have foreseen the market for outtakes back in the 1970s - they were not commonly released, so why include thoughts on them in a will. Its rather like expecting a 1940s film director saying he didn't want his film released on DVD. You think people are psychic? No. That would require thinking.

Single version has Imperials high in the mix and panned right. Very pretty harmony.

One regret of the Stamps not coming on board until near the end of 1971 is that they missed the sessions for the LP. Just imagine a vintage bass slide by J.D. Sumner to end this song!

Your point is well taken elvisjock! The Imperials were just amazing voices with Elvis. I loved the songs they recorded with him. Having their voices behind Elvis on this 1971 project helped create a wonderful seasonal album.

Ironically, the group didn't sing live with Elvis on the Christmas songs. It appears they were not available during the May 15 - 17 sessions, when the bulk of TWWOC was recorded. Elvis' isolated vocals are, for the most part, weak. The Imperials played a major role in the polishing of the finished product.

Thanks elvisjock. I did not know the Imperials were not with Elvis at the recordings. For some reason I thought they were present for them and there was some incident with them where Elvis became angry and stormed out of the studio. I guess my information is incorrect.
Still, I like Elvis' vocals and delivery on this album. To my aging ears he does sound committed and reverent in his delivery.

Thanks again

You sure devote a lot of time on this forum to arguing, rather than contributing.

Always have, I suppose always will. Sad.
By your "liking" of the trolls, they have an incentive to keep up the "good work" of derailing threads you do not like. And you have hardly to type at all, they do it for you. But you knew that already! Very sad and pathetic.
By your definition a troll is someone who disagrees with your opinion, highlights the excessive praise and hyperbole of the mediocre and highlights the truth about the failure of the Elvis system when appropriate.
Wikipedia:
In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal, on-topic discussion,[3] often for the troll's amusement.
With 61 "pledges," 98 "Padres," and 147 posts referring to Felton Jarvis, it is quite clear you fit the definition of a troll.
At least i dont advocate book burning, censorship or elistism.
You've been spouting elitism since the start of this thread by putting down people's views repeatedly - you just don't even realise it, which is kind of amusing.
Well it wasnt me who said only outtakes that you deem worthy that you already got to hear should be available to the unwashed masses. All i did was point out that this track is hardly majestic but rather a Felton Jarvis overdubbed monstrosity-i never suggested people who like it shouldnt have access to it because it doesn't live up to my standards as you did for outtakes. Pointing out that the record buying public agreed by ignoring this track as a single is the opposite of elitism-the masses cast their vote and agreed with me by voting with their wallets. Of course you also regularly dismiss record sales as a barometer which is another sign of elitism ie i know better than the people-um okay.
Pardon me for going OT just for a moment.
You have several times made those same comments about "book burning" and "censorship", so let me ask you a couple of questions.

Regarding censorship...do you consider it to be censorship because something that was rejected on artistical grounds for not being good enough, is not released? If you say yes, why do you think the artist should not have any saying in that?
What do you think about EIC being released on mainstream DVD/BR? If you say no, why?
Depends on the circumstances. If an artist owns their works and made provision that unreleased recordings or works never be shared publicly, that is not censorship. If the artist as is the case here, sold their master recordings pre 1973 and made no provision in their will to shield outtakes from post 1973 work from the public then both the rights holders and estate are free to do as they choose. If the artist had expressed a view that the post 1973 recording outtakes never see the light if day, a true fan would have a legitimate onjection. Note for example Elvis requested if iirc Dominic not be released when he was alive but said nothing about posthumously. So if the artist was indifferent and Elvis was, claiming outtakes should not be released is censorship. Worse yet is saying after you had the chance to hear them they arent worthy and no one else should smacks of elitism. Who appointed the one or few as the arbiter for the many. Ernst has served that role for many years because he was vested by virtue of rhe ownership of the masters and outtakes by the record company. And while along the way he clearly made artistic and commercial choices, i dont want him or any one else telling me what is worthy of release though he clearly used good judgement in the sequencing. I can make up my own mind as the artist expressed no such desire. I want every take of every master sequentially yes including Padre. Censorship and elitism should never be condoned.
You didn't say anything about EIC..?
Missed it. Sorry. As you should be able to infer from my reply, unless Elvis expressed a view, it is up to the rights holders to decide. Perhaps one could argue that the 3 tv special deals were for 2 airings only so a case could be made that none of them should have been released. The restrictions seem more commercial in nature however rather than the star's desire. Do i have an objection to it being released? With the advent of the internet and you tube, it is no longer controlled and essentially in the public domain. The damage to his legacy has been done. If Lisa as the owner doesnt want it shared for obvious reasons, that's not censorship as she is the rights holder- no different than private collectors not sharing their exclusively owned items.

Although the Imperials missed singing live with Presley for the holiday numbers, they were present for the Nashville sessions starting on the evening of May 19, 1971 (Wed). They were probably booked to do concerts with Jimmy Dean, who played over two hundred dates a year at that time.

Among the songs done that first night with the quartet was their winning arrangement of Jerry Reed's "A Thing Called Love," with Elvis simply taking the lead vocals. In essence, Presley became a member of the Imperials! Other cuts on He Touched Me were of a similar nature.

The studio brouhaha happened during the June 11, 1971 overdub session in Nashville. A turntable didn't work when Elvis was trying to play a song for girlfriend Joyce Bova (the musicians thought she was Priscilla). So he flung his headphones in anger against the studio wall, apologized to everyone, and left.

IIRC, Presley never returned to RCA's Studio B in his remaining six years. Also, three quarters of the Jordanaires were there, and it was the last time they ever saw him. So sad.

As an aside but sort of on-topic, I heard a real nice version of this song today by The Mills Brothers for the first time. Sung in 3 part harmony with a plain yet effective arrangement. Elvis' version drops another notch on my list.

Was the Mills Brothers performance more majestic?

Perhaps one could also argue that recording sessions were made with just the masters released, but that doesn't seem to bother you.

Thanks Doc for providing the information on the story I was trying to recall. Also, I was unaware that June 11, 1971 was the final time Elvis was at Studio B. A lot of great music came from that small building. Too bad he never returned. Thanks again.

You have been wanting to push that for a while as if a new mystery solved. It isn't. "He Touched Me" album isn't Elvis doing the Imperials. Get the album and listen to it instead of relying on a few youtube numbers.

Firstly, I didnt say the argument had any merit whatsoever as no evidence of the star's view has been discovered. Elvis sold outright the pre 1973 rights. Indeed the Legendary Performer series was released during his lifetime so he had a chance to object. No evidence he did. Again as he made no provision in his will post 1973 then the rights holders have the final say. But of course if you object dont buy and dont listen. Just dont censor thise who want ever we word he note he recorded-esp,without the overdubs. And of course i encourage one and all who are so inclined to never buy or listen to anything but the masters and to take a pledge to swear them off.
