Re: Strangers In Amsterdam LP

I also own a vinyl copy. There are more details and photos of it at the EC WIki . It is nothing very special as a recording, but has a certain novelty value as one of relatively few "Coward Brothers" recordings. EC has rather given up on touring or performing as part of a duo, but it was g...

Re: UK Tour 2014

We're paying more money to see less Elvis. It may not be helpful to mention that I paid £7.35 a fortnight ago to see Elvis at the RAH. The trick on that occasion was to be at the box office, five minutes after the show started. Where there is a will, there is usually a way.. 800px-2014-04-10_London...

Re: Elvis plays the State Theatre, Sydney - 23 April 2014

I cannot comment on how fair Bernard Zuel's review was, not having seen the show. What i do know is that Zuel is a fan who has been reviewing Elvis' albums and shows for at least ten years so is better placed than many critics to judge a poor performance. You can read some of his previous (generally...
