November FTD releases FTD will end 2011 with a big bang, releasing 4 titles by the end of November.

“PROMISED LAND”

Double CD release in the 7" series.

“ELVIS SINGS THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF CHRISTMAS”

Double CD release in the 7" series.

A MOMENT IN TIME – 4 DAYS IN ‘56

A book by Michael Rose, this time with no audio component, as the relevant music is available on Sony’s “YOUNG MAN WITH THE BIG BEAT”. Author and producer Michael Rose has assembled a most stunning glimpse of Elvis’ life in 1956.

Through literally hundreds of photos - many previously unpublished - we get to join Elvis at his show in Detroit on May 25. We stay with the tour for two more days in Columbus and Dayton and finally arrive in Memphis on May 28. Rose has interviewed people who attended the shows, found original newspaper coverage, chosen and organized the many photos, and arranged it all as a fascinating travel log.

This is the Elvis that country legend Bob Wills aptly described as a “punk”, before controversy and Hollywood toned him down. The perfect companion to Sony’s new box set, “YOUNG MAN WITH THE BIG BEAT” (a few of the photos in the box set, including the front, actually comes from this book).

vinyl aufwärmen? das lassen wir aber mal schön sein.

will man denn thread-titel nicht gleich in "dezember ftd's" umbenennen?

Ist die Elvis is Back Vinyl tatsächlich nur eine Vinylausgabe der CD Version? Ich hab gerade die CD nicht zur Hand, kann das mal einer checken? Allerdings wäre es ja ein starkes Stück, wenn eine FTD Ausgabe nur auf Vinyl erscheinen würde...ich sammel nämlich kein neues Vinyl...

__________________
Ohne Worte!

Ich habe jetzt nicht jeden Track gegengecheckt, aber so wie's aussieht, findet sich auf der Vinyl-Ausgabe lediglich ein Teil der Outtakes, die es auf der CD gab. Es fehlt hier also einiges, aber die die enthalten sind, sind mit der CD identisch, wenn auch in anderer Reihenfolge, da man hier die März- und April-Sessions durcheinander gewürfelt hat, was vorher etwas sortierter war.

Vielen Dank. Das ist ja auch nur folgerichtig. Ich war nur kurz irritiert, bzw. wollte sichergehen, da mich a) das Cover und b) der Titel der Vinylausgabe verunsichert hatten.




Denn so sieht meine FTD "Elvis is back!" nicht aus!

Und sie heißt auch nicht "Elvis is back!" Sessions! Also ich habe nur die ganz normale "Elvis is back!" aus der Classic Album Reihe...

__________________
Ohne Worte!

Ja, klar. Für eine LP ist das sicherlich zuviel Material, weswegen wir hier auch nur Outtakes bekommen und keinerlei Master. Bei der "Pot Luck" war das ja auch so. Die LP-Ausgabe nannte sich ebenfalls "The Pot Luck Sessions". Auch da war das Cover nicht identisch zur CD-Ausgabe.

__________________

Ja, das ist die Lösung, wenn aus Platzgründen die Master fehlen, also somit das Orginalalbum, dann nennt FTD die Ausgabe:"Sessions" ...so ein alternatives Cover juckt den Sammler dann ja schon etwas...aber ich bleibe hart und sage: "Nein!" zu neuem Vinyl....

__________________
Ohne Worte!

Schade nur, dass dann trotzdem noch Takes fehlen, die wir auf der CD-Ausgabe bekommen, somit ist die LP also auch in Sachen Outtakes nicht vollständig. Wenn man dann noch bedenkt, was die Händler inzwischen für die Vinyl-FTDs verlangen, ist das Ganze eh nicht sonderlich erstrebenswert. Das ist wirklich nur was für die ganz konsequenten Sammler.

kinder kinder
bis auf EINE ausnahme gabs bisher ohnehin alles, was auf vinyl kam, vorher auf cd..

und dass das cover-artwork nicht übereinstimmt, ist auch nix neues.
war bei der pot luck sessions so, war bei den jungle room sessions so und bei der standing room only wars doch auch anders ()
