Re: 'The Return Of The Spectacular Spinning Songbook', Nov.

The box is too expensive period, end of story.

I paid $100.00 for the MAIT/TYM picture disc way back in 1978, there's only 500 of those. I was a fresh face enthusiast and what the hell I got one of the 500 original El Mocambo for free so...

Re: Promo videos a half-step higher than album cuts?

Re: Does anyone else think this ?

It's really 2 different songs with the same chorus.

The demo is so MAIT with the pedal steel and all.
The TYM version is pure second album production, self confident word play, snarling vocal and driving Attractions backing..

My vote goes to the second.

Re: Spectacle Season 2 Release Date - 7 December 2010

Great collection of musical performances, a must get for music fans let alone Elvis fans.

Bonus tracks include a blistering version of "I Want You" from the show featuring the man himself.

If you can't buy it where you live, you might want to check out the usual green devil.

There seems to be some confusion between the "Hidden CDR known as 30:10" and the "iTunes Originals" both from 2007 or are they the same? The track listing mentioned in previous postings in this thread is almost the same as the track listing for the "iTunes Originals" po...
