Hi David but you buying FTD hope more cool songs from Elvis more great outtake but no it all good fun find what you like keep up cool video my friend take care

Great video and point David! I do think the 2 main points for wanting the session upgrades (just my opinion) is the extra takes, false starts, less edits and importantly the new mastering. In the classic series I’m sure I found many were spliced takes, so not always getting take by take and the full takes. I’m not at the point of wanting missing milliseconds of silent audio though 😂

Like always David a great video. Looking forward to seeing you with Adam on the forum. I have all the most of FTD. Stay safe. Ellie.🎼🎶🎵🕺🏻❤️😃👍⚡️

Nice video David I do love The ftd CDs I get them when I can but they are expensive. TCB ❤

I finally have all the 11 sessions sets in my collection .it took a little saving and looking around but all new and 4 of the older ones were same or less in price when they came out. I don't have any of the other 7"inch releases. Unfortunately. Great topic to adress these edits they do on the sets. Very annoying and 😡. Love the Channel and the great info you give and share. Thanks!

I think this is one of the main bone of contentions with "the Session Sets" and that is there is very little more over and above the takes that are on the 7" Classic albums. From memory, fans were complaining that for the Memphis ‘69 Sessions Set, that there was only around 18 minutes worth of recordings that were not on the three 7" Classic albums that covered the original albums. G I Blues is likely to be another one because there are 2 volumes of that within the 7" Classic Album series, so a Session Set for those recordings is not likely to offer good value for money for any unreleased offerings, and maybe that’s why FTD have not issued anything yet although I doubt feeling guilty about fleecing collectors will worry them.

Great video David, really enjoyed this one. The FTD session sets tend to be under controversy in the Elvis fandom being that, not only do the producers “edit” these sessions, but most of the session are claimed to be complete when in actuality they are not!!! There are, “boot” CD’s that contain material that ARE NOT presented on the FTD sets, and in some cases, vice versa. Thanks 😊.

Interesting stuff that I was not aware of! Great video as always David!!

The sound has been remixed on the session sets and they do sound phenomenal...

Ernst Jorgensen is EVIL!!!

I've only got the pot luck sessions set and I still haven't played all of it yet and I've had some time now,I can't listen to the same song so many times,I'll end up not liking it,so I'd prefer the 7inch sets. Great video. Luv the show.

Spread it about and maximize profit. The sessions should have been the definitive set.

Ftds aren't cheap, Went to a warehouse to look into 500+ lps . Not one Elvis! 100s of the middle of the road stuff but mostly classical and german lps. I did pick up the Jordanaires cd.

I love the sessions boxes to hear every little thing I can especially the false starts and work parts. So interesting and you know me David I love everything Elvis!!

Thank you, very useful information and interesting subject as well 🤓 Definitely I’ll check out the forum’s discussion. Cheers David!⚡️

I have the classic album releases, as well as all of the session sets and you have made a valid point. My problem with FTD on the session sets is their “need” to censor and edit dialogue that they feel the listener can’t handle, so to speak (ie: cursing, etc.) As someone who had many sessions sets on bootleg long before the advent of FTD, it irritates the hell out of me when I come across an instance of it. I’ve heard others complain about it, as well. ⚡️

Good to know, thanks David. I only have a handful of the classic album titles, so I tend to rely on the sessions boxes being a handy one stop shop

Hi David...the FTD CD "Wild In The Country" needs a 3rd (!) Pressing to correct finally the misspelling of Elvis' surname "Presely" on the Site Paneel of the FTD Cover 😂 LOL! Thank you David!

Interesting my friend, a few commentators on youtube have mentioned the fact that sometimes you don’t always get loads of extra tracks on the “sessions” box sets, but as you say us completists will still buy them! cheers mate!

I must be honest and say I wouldn’t even bother listening to any of these reprocessed albums today, especially with what we have now with remastering and so on.

I noticed this when I was a kid, but I always assumed it was the tambourine being tapped quite hard at that point at the same time Elvis sings the word ‘should’.

David... what a card!!! lol

In the UK 13 albums and 7 singles in 1971!!!

Your video is excellent and very interesting with good information.

Beautiful releases shown from 71. Another first class video David.

Another good video David. Im glad i have the panel delux with out obi though. Juan

Coming back to watch again and reading the comments the book idea seems popular

I was scratching my head wondering why I didn't have California Holiday in my movie or record collection....Mr Google informed me the correct movie title was Spinout. For some unknown reason the Brits changed it to California Holiday. Wonder if that makes the LP of that name a rarity, seeing it would have only been produced in England?

Very interesting subject. Indeed everything is relative. I didn't know about that and I like that, after the movie hit, he was even more recognised ⚡ Just imagine if he'd gone there as he wanted (Japan, Europe...) and imagine if that would've happened after TTWII... I think they would be talking about that till today, there would've been mangas, anime and a few statues over the cities in wich he had performed. Hotels and restaurante too. Maybe a Shinkansen... Maybe even a peanut-banana kit kat... Thank you for your work, I have to catch up with Sean's videos. And good Elvis accent there!😁

One of the better Elvis channels on KZbin always worth watching

What great albums. Regarding "The Other Sides", I read an interview with someone, maybe one the Memphis Mafia, that when they pulled the clothes out for the swatches this person went in and retrieved some of them because they were historical, like one of the "68 Special suits. When I received the album for my 10th birthday I was convinced I had a gotten a piece of the jacket worn on Golden Records Vol. One LOL. As I got older I not only realized how ridiculous that thought was, but like you, I suspected it was probably just one of Parker's gimmicks. I also received a swatch from Parker's office after sending them a letter. Man, what a joyful moment that was for me!

So many great releases in Japan in 1971 , very good imitation of Elvis by the way😉

Was at the Glebe record fair on Saturday. Only saw the thin Elvis Australian lps. As mention before my friends husband works in the Aust music industry and got to meet the Colonel and Elvis. Elvis gave his gold pen to him after signing the Aust contracts.Still has it today but got it modified. Saw Monkees 2 lp box sets from Japan. Glorious designs of the golden Japan age in vinyl releases. In the Elvis Worldwide releases in the bubble cd long box format you do see the clothes from Clambake and the executives trying them on. I assume that Elvis probably threw in his old bedsheets😊🤣! Great review👍

Great video David! What a year for Elvis releases in Japan. I wonder who is driving the F1 Lotus car in the Spinout bonus photo? My guess would be American driver Walt Hansgen who actually died in 1966 testing in the rain for a Le Man race? Love the Elvis curtain comment lol... Look forward to making the next ELVIS Forum video with you soon. Maybe a history of Elvis fabrics lol, cheers Adam

Very interesting, David. I believe many people consider ‘71 as the “overlooked year” due to the lack of soundboards and what seemed a slight pause in the excitement of 1969-70 before the kickoff of the “On Tour” pandemonium. Just my humble opinion.⚡️

Great video David , I wonder if Elvis knew just how popular he was in Japan?

Howdy David, great video, keep up the great work ⚡️⚡️

I'm just so grateful for every year that Elvis recorded music. Do you have the blue hawaii that come with the really rare that's the way it is in that box set you mentioned?. Luv the show.

😊Hey David my dear friend, as usual, a fantastic video,great topic, 1971 sure was big one 😀 Thank you for everything, Cheers, your friend: Lior ❤

Hi David true do great video on Elvis records my friend from Japan keep up cool video take care see you in next video you do of Elvis

Hi Dave ,great video as usual ,I’ve viewed that sincerely Elvis channel it’s really good ,a think 1971 was a very productive year for EL ,he had quite a few hit singles OK not no 1s but he rarely seemed out of the top 20 in the UK,and in the US he was on top of the entertainment world ,it’s great to see what other parts of the world go for in relation to ELs career ,a know the Japanese prefer the later output 1970s ,a think in the UK it’s his early output that rules although speaking for my self av been getting into his later output ,a thing Sean from sincerely Elvis ,s take on it is 1970 THWII,1972 the on tour and Maddison square gardens tours ,and maybe 71 was overlooked or maybe overshadowed ,obviously not in Japan ,that’s my take on it anyway ,great video Dave ,take care ,tony 🎸🎸🎸🎶

Fascinating stuff David, really enjoyed that. I hadn’t even considered how applying a geographical lens on a particular year may completely alter the perception of it's relative success. A note of caution concerning sweeping generalisations there methinks! As for that swatch, well, we know for certain that loads of clothing was strewn around Graceland being cut up and shipped out in boxes, because we have first hand accounts of it. Oddly enough though, the one you held up is the very same material I have framed with full authentication by Graceland, although they date it to his final tour, which made no sense at all to me. Thanks for the shout-out!

What a year of releases in Japan!! I do like that Panel Deluxe set. Very nice indeed!! By the way 1971 was a great year personally as it was the year I was born! Thanks David. Keep the interesting videos coming!!

Hello David I heard most were from clothes people sent him that were put in the envelopes except for the clambake suit,❤.

Ohhh, David 😄 your touching humor, which works so well 😊 Thank you, David, thank you 😊😊😊

Great video my friend cheers 🍾🥂

Hahaha I laughed way too hard at the end there. Great video, as a newer younger collector it's interesting to hear these views on the future of collecting. Fortunately, very fortunately there's no shortage of finding elvis' albums around and for fairly cheep. I always prefer to find things in person and as they come. To me it's just not the same to just look it up online vs the magic of finding it out in the wild!

when it comes to ELVIS .. anyone critical about him is either delusional.deaf .blind or has no soul...nobody comes close.your dad or mum were correct

spot on

I'd add an extra OBI to make sure John's face is covered.. ;-)
