Hi Jamie and John! I'm Michael Schiemann from Hamburg, Germany and have been an Elvis Presley fan and Elvis historian for almost 47 years. I have around 500 Elvis books, for example! I have to say your presentations about Elvis Presley products are incomparably good! Not only what you say about Elvis and his work, but also the way you present it is very informative and refreshing. I enjoy every episode! Great job!!!
Hi, Michael, nice to meet you! And thank you so much! I really appreciate that, and I know John does, too! 😁
Super SONG! Wonderful! Great Job Jamie and Band!!!
Thank you so much, Michael!
c est pas le King sorry
It's all good! It's just supposed to give an idea of what it might have sounded like. And the wide range of fan reaction has been an unintended psychological experiment as in itself!
I have spotlight on Ed Bonja and it’s a great book I love it
Very cool, Marco! 😁
Hi Jamie & John! I just wanted to let you both know how much I enjoy your channel! You pack so much great information into the videos! I love That's The Way It Is, and Elvis never looked better in my opinion. You are right, the books alone are worth the price. Excellent quality! I hope to get this one. I'm looking forward to your next video. You both have a great weekend, and stay safe. Tanya
Thank you so much, Tanya! So glad you're enjoying the show! As for these sets: yeah, they're getting hard to find now. Hopefully these will see a re-release, and with complete audio, too!
Thank you so much!
So, is we can get the numbers and support up, Sony, Legacy, (whoever), will license the recordings so they can be re-released AGAIN, so we’ll have to repurchase all this stuff AGAIN? Thanks 😊 Can I be apart of this? 😅
LOL! I hear you, Frankie! That's why FTD botching the audio on these is so frustrating; after years of being abused by the label, fans understandably have less interest in subsequent releases of the material, even if it's better and more complete. That's why I'm a lot more vocal about fixing this sooner rather than later.
@@EAPSociety Yes, I’ve been noticing your references quite a bit lately and I’m with ya on all this. I’ve heard both arguments many times over, but I’m standing by that if people want it complete, without edits/editing, then we should have access to it. I feel strongly about the “Elvis In Concert” aspect of this issue as well. I feel that it was something that Elvis was still invested in as a career choice and it should not be disregarded as a posthumous piece. But that’s just me … 😊
@FrankieLovesElvis Thank you - and 100% agreed! On the second part, you mean the TV special? Yeah, I'd like to see that released properly, too!
Thank you, gentlemen. Great show. TCB
Thank you, James!
Yes, you and I could repair the missing audio sections but Sony don't own that audio so don't have the right to do it, they are presenting what they have.
Hi, Steven! Actually, that's not accurate: they have access to all of the tapes, and could release it all if they wanted. They just edit their releases to trim things they think are "unnecessary," which is counterproductive to the idea of a collector label, imo.
Thank you very much for sharing this lovely box set. I don’t have it in my collection. Looking forward to seeing the other book. 👍❤️
You're very welcome, Mildred! And next week, we'll show the 2nd book, so not too long of a wait!
@@EAPSocietythank you very much. Greetings from Berlin Germany 👍🥰❤️
@mildredschulz You're very welcome! Hello to you, and Berlin! 😁
This sells for 500 plus now in the UK. I've paid less than that for a car! Not a great car but a car nevertheless
Hi, Graham! Yeah, it sold for close to that when it was new, even! And as beautiful as the books are, the edited audio means I'm glad I didn't get this (though also glad John did, so we could show this to everyone).
@@EAPSociety The books look stunning
i have this box set great set
Very cool, Adrian!
The back cover of The Rehearsals book, is the August 10 Rehearsal
Thank you, Jose!
Isn't the audio brickwalled?
The mastering is the (sadly) usual Jan Eliasson "smash it loud" approach that FTD has allowed in recent years, something many of us had hoped had been left behind in the early 2000s. Also, disc 8, the August 10th rehearsal, is a straight re-issue of the earlier FTD "Stage Rehearsal" (Aug 10 only); with all its fake-out song intros that used live versions to complete the performances, a very lazy, cheap approach to "having all the rehearsals" on this set.
Yep - the audio is a huge disappointment all around. The edits alone are a dealbreaker for me - why a collectors' label thinks this is a good idea is beyond crazy.
Excellent Boys, shame most of these releases are not made by a real fans like yourselves who would put and keep everything heard at those sessions on the releases.
Thank you! And I agree; you'd think a label saying they're for collectors would actually have the collector in mind.
Far out....how many MORE anniversary sets of everything are going to be produced??? 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years....60! what will FTD or whoever think up by then. Money making, nothing more. sorry.
As long as they keep selling. 😊
RCA/SONY/FTD are in business to make money. They're not a charity organization. Purchase only what interests you... it's as simple as that.
Hi, Gina! Well, considering these are made in limited runs, probably every major anniversary will see some kind of release. I know David and Pal don't make a lot doing the work they do (which is the best part of the set, considerimg the audio). So saying that it's just about money isn't quite right - but where FTD is concerned, I'm much more inclined to agree. This could have been the definitive set, but incomplete audio (FTD's job is the audio part) drops the ball.
Every anniversary is an opportunity to promote Elvis Presley. 2025 = Elvis' 90th birthday and 70th anniversary signing with RCA Victor ; 2026 = 70th anniversary of Elvis' historic television appearances, and his first 2 albums, and his first major hits ; 2027 = 70 years since the Presley family purchased Graceland, and 50 years since Elvis' passing.
Very true, Paul! I'd like to see these done 100% right from a catalog perspective that's always available, and then some riskier projects for future anniversaries. After all, if there aren't more releases, Elvis's name isn't around as much, and that's not good for Elvis fans, either!
A beautiful set!
Could be my favorite in my collection along with THATS THE WAY IT IS BOX SET. I it’s the best you’ve heard Elvis1 69-72 Chefs kiss.
Very cool, Marco! Hopefully someday, they'll release the complete audio - then it'll be perfect to me! 😁
This is a freakin' great Boxet!
It's definitely pretty!
IMO, alcohol = waste of time and human endeavor.
Good catch re: the call letters - W.H.B.Q. - with periods being one of the give-aways. I grew up in the Midwest in the 1960's. None of the local TV or radio stations had periods in the call letters.
Thank you - and thank you for sharing that info, too!
For "Loving You", everyone needs to buy a good copy on DVD. The one from Australia - woof - the transfer is dark and IMO cheaply done.
100% true - not to mention the knock-off copies. Hopefully they re-release the movie on blu-ray - or better yet, 4k!
Great Quick Take Tuesday on fake acetate foolery.
Thank you! We had fun, for sure!
Great (20 minute) quick takes on acetate fakes. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
And how much of Elvis' 4 billion dollars has been made since August 1977?
As I said previously. Check the Typewriter keys against the My Happiness photo. It’s like finger prints. Sam was cheap most likely had a Military surplus typewriter. And only only one.
Absolutely, Nick! Not sure if you saw my other reply, but the more both real and fake are looked at, it gets easier to spot the fake labels; I could even tell the difference now without needing the radio stamp or the typing. That's why it's nice to study these things up close like this. We'd thought about mentioning the type on these episodes, but left it off only because it's the hardest of the tells for the average person to catch quickly, especially looking (potentially) on a small screen (cell phone, etc).
~ Jamie, you and John are being very nice & diplomatic (and maybe too forgiving) about Graceland's acetate debacle. The fact of the matter is -- If the Graceland officials (who were responsible for purchasing their fake acetate) really wanted to continue operating in "good faith" (after their blunder was pointed out to them), they would have admitted by now that they made an honest error. However, by not admitting to their error, they are definitely being deceptive if they currently have that fake acetate on display, and still claiming that it's legitimate. 1:38
Hi, Paul! I definitely get that - we take that road we did for a few reasons: 1, because if they hadn't honestly transferred it, we'd have done part one and that would have been it, we'd have had a lot less information. 2, because they're the ones who took a pretty pricey bath with that thing on the road to getting us that info, and 3, because they get so many fans just jumping down their throat for everything (that's not to say they don't bring that mess on themselves more often than not, but still) that calmly explaining the situation has, imo, a better chance of potential resolution. More flies with honey, that kinda thing. It's the same reason I didn't get too belligerent with FTD until the Blue Hawaii Sessions, lol Plus, they should get their money back, imo. Barring that, I'd use that acetate to bring attention to forgery Elvis artifacts, as it could still be interesting in that way.
@@EAPSociety Okay, Jamie. You always seem to win me over. 😅
😁 I love it! Also, it's likely we'll be headed to Memphis for Elvis Week, so hope to see you sometime while we're down there! 😁
@@EAPSociety I hope so!
Oh Wow …..nice to put a face to the voice I’ve heard quite a few times on TCB Cast ! Great to see Ryan 👍
Very cool! Yeah, it was great finally getting to meet Ryan in person! He'll be appearing a few times this season! 😁
Fantastic investigation!!! You all are to be applauded for this in depth and very informative presentation. Excellent points made by all and the evidence is all there without any doubt. “Just the facts” as Joe Friday would say and the facts in this were all there. Thank you for all your hard work. This truly is a movement and I agree that the information as presented with the initial unveil by EPE was done under good faith but hey.. we are all human. May the spirit never die and keep Takin Care of Business ⚡️ -Rick Anthony ETA
Love it, thank you, sirs!
You lucky guys from the usa can buy all the stuff cheaper.
Seems so obvious now. Thank you guys for your work. Hopefully, your work will protect a lot of people from purchasing fake items "from" other artists as well.
I watched Agent Elvis and I wanted to like it but it fell short. The animation wasn't the problem, the storylines were. The two if you have better ideas than the writers had. I didn't like Scatter or CC. I like the idea of Priscilla being an agent and the Memphis Mafia being involved. I agree about the crassness. Elvis was no angel but to his fans during his lifetime he was. Love the review ❤
Ouch! Pretty pricey mistake by whomever bought that acetate for Graceland!
Awesome 👌 never heard this song 🎵 new one for ❤
Great introduction to the new season! The story behind the "That's All Right" acetate brought to mind an occurrence in my local area several years back. A local history museum purchased what was advertised as a rifle that once belonged to a well-known officer of the local federal court in the 19th century (my local history is tied to the Indian Territory that is now Oklahoma). A panel discussion was organized, several local history researchers and professors were invited to speak. Until a researcher that I knew was able to prove, using empirical sources, that the rifle in question was not what the museum purported it to be. All of a sudden, the researcher was uninvited to the event, and the advertising was switched without notice or explanation. And to date, as far as I know, the museum has yet to publicly admit that they were duped. The history of pirated and bootleg records is fascinating, and perhaps those in charge at Graceland could use this opportunity to include it as part of their narrative surrounding Elvis. Although... I doubt that will happen! Onwards... and sideways!
Thank you, Mark, and thank you for sharing that! Yeah, that happens far too often, sadly. But thanks to this, we now know a lot more on the subject, and others will, too, so that Elvis fans out there will have an easier time spotting these. 😁
Graceland needs to remove their exhibit and release a public apology.
This is such a great video! Both entertaining and informative! I love how you guys made this look like a news report that you might see on TV. Fantastic work! :)
Thank you so much! Yeah, we decided to play up the "Unsolved Mysteries" vibes, especially at the beginning, lol!
Hey J & J, on Page 190 of the RCA Album Collection book, it shows an advert for an upcoming 'Elvis 1974 Easter TV Special' - and then notes that this never materialised. Do you have any intel on this??
From what I’ve heard, it was something Colonel was trying to shop around to the networks, but coming so close after the Aloha, no one wanted to pay what he was asking.
@@johnheath1868 Sounds plausible
Love the release. I'm sure you are going to really LOVE the "On Stage February 1973" release. The sound is phenomenal.
Wow almost making history there guys. Fascinating insight into the authentic and the fakes out there. Top research shame no one at EPE did research before buying and embarrassing themselves. Im sure they bought in good faith but faith isn't good enough when it comes to Elvis artefacts and history. Blind faith can lead to being scammed.
Thank you, Paul! Yeah, what happened is definitely a shame, but hopefully this video can help in some way for the future! I will say, this took us months to find all of this, and it's hard to say when they came across the acetate, so they might not have had much time before deciding - and the last owner of the ones we have made the same error. We honestly might not have found some of this information if they hadn't brought the acetate forward in the way they did, so it also inadvertently helped us clear that up for the larger Elvis World, which (in the end) is a good thing. 😁
Fantastic job guys! Chapeau! Thanks alot for everything you do! Looking forward to season 3! TCB ⚡
Thank you so much! And you're very welcome - I'm glad you liked it, and thank you on Season 3, as well!
Great Detective Work Gentlemen
Thank you! 😁
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT VIDEOS EVER on Elvis Music/Record Legacy 👍👌✌️ THANK YOU🙏 John and Jamie; it's Brilliant!
Thank you so much, Harald! So glad you liked it!
brilliant, thanks from Copenhagen, Denmark
Thank you, Jess! And you're very welcome! 😁
Hi Jamie! The recording of "That's All Right" included as the lead song on 1973's "ELVIS ~ A LEGENDARY PERFORMER, VOLUME 1" (actually released in January 1974) sounded better (in my opinion) with less echo/reverb than the recordings on the two albums you mentioned. 22:25 Please go take a listen and see if you agree. Thanks
Hi, Paul! You are correct - that's the original RCA master, iirc! I was thinking that was late 70s for some reason, not 1974. Thankfully, the point still stands largely if not 100%; for the general public, or those making fakes, you won't think about that album first; you'll think of one with "Sun" in the title. It is pretty hilarious, though, that a track from "A Legendary Performer Volume 2" was used, but not "That's All Right" from volume one.
i really liked it !
Love your performances Jamie. Been a fan for a long time. Cheers from Iceland
Thank you so much, Omar! I really appreciate that!
You can't get any more in-depth than this! Superb work guys, looking forward to season 3.
Thank you so much! Lots of fun coming in Season 3! :)
I have nothing against EPE and I am glad that they exist, but if they presented this out of "good faith" as you presume, then why out of "good faith" don't they admit they made a mistake, and address the public that they had fooled? By not addressing this issue is a bit disrespectful to the Elvis Presley "collecting" community. In a way it's like them saying f'm they don't know any better.. That way a very good presentation on this issue by a channel that I believe is going to grow tremendously in the Elvis world.
Thank you so much! As I'm sure you've caught in the other videos, we definitely have massive plans for things as we move forward (CD and book releases, hopefully more), and I'm excited to grow things to get there. :) The question is totally fair, and I'll tell you why I think it was presented in good faith. If it wasn't, they never would have taken the time to transfer the acetate they had or use that audio. The easier, and more technically accurate, thing to do would be to use the sound from "A Boy From Tupelo" or something we already have, and play that. That they didn't, when the audio is so clearly wrong, was a huge clue to me. As for why they don't come forward? Well, that's also a good question, but it's now a big company with several offices in different places. ABG is HUUUUGE. So whoever said to buy the acetate may not be the person who makes the call for cleaning/clearing up the issue. Add the expensive nature of the mistake with people's jobs possibly on the line, and it makes the situation a lot more complicated, even if it's not good for the collecting community. We all as fans are in a better place (ironically) to talk about it - if we can help, that's one of the reasons we're here! :)
