I do hope not. I've only listened to the first four songs. Which of course includes these two.

Does anyone know when the results will be announced? I can probably get the day off or go in my lunch break. If I was lucky enough to win a ticket.

I Lost You is still on the C playlist at Radio 2. I don't mind Simon Mayo to be honest for what it's worth. Anyone planning to listen to the show who doesn't know the format the guest is normally on between 6 and 6.30.

I went for the 3 cd package wished I could have afforded the 'all signing all dancing' full set. Tonight will be set a side to listen to the live cd not heard it before. On bootleg or other.

Not wishing to nitpick but the interview is actually in today's The Observer, The Guardian's Sunday equivalent. Just in case anyone wants to go and buy a physical copy. Thanks for that I normally buy the Observer on Sunday especially when Im working but went for the Mail On Sunday to get the free c...

Chris Evans played I Lost You this morning - probably one of the most listened to programmes on British radio - my wife rang me in work to tell me! That's a good sign if Chris is playing it. I think he is an Elvis fan. I hear that although Evans is a dj and music fan he doesn't own any records or C...

It seems that here in the UK at least Elvis might be going for the big promotion on this one. The first for many years. Certainly a while since one of his songs has made the playlist on the Radio. Although a quick check shows it is only getting played on the late night shows. Hopefully this will cha...

Hear "I Lost You" at 45:20. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00trzkp Wow - Elvis in UK radio play shock. It might have been just before half past five on a Monday morning but it's better than nothing! Elvis in getting played twice on UK radio shock. I heard it on the Iain Anderson show on...

Imperial Bedroom is one my favourite Elvis albums and one I do return to. But then again with the exception of Goodbye Cruel World I loved all the albums up to the end of the nineties. King Of America I find a 'trying' album to listen to. It's heavy going and emotional as no other album in my collec...

For those who don't know the Host is a man called Mike Read, he was a very famous DJ at the time and was on everything. He was certainly an aquired taste and was known as Cliff Richard's mate. He has had lots of money troubles since his heyday going bankrupt twice and recently had to sell his entire...

I was sitting outside the pub on Sunday waiting for the football to start and the DJ played Oliver's Army. (Followed by Airport by The Motors an equally great song)

I would like to ask him is he embarassed by the strange London/ Liverpool accent of the early years. I have met him a couple of times and found him a bit grumpy. Except one time when we got to the backstage party at the Royal Albert Hall in 99. I couldn't help myself when he came in I just exclaimed...

Elvis can't feel the heat, it was in the high 80's that day. Jesus wearing a scarf, and a big cardigan. No wonder he's losing weight he must be sweating it out.
Having said that he's looking smarter these days.

Goodbye To Love is one of my favourite songs of all time.


RIP Tony

http://www.teenagewildlife.com/Interact/cp/showflat.pl?Board=newstoday&Number=542745 God knows why the 30th anniversary programme went out the window, but my hopes are that if 1976 can come out in 2010, ten 1977 and also 179 and 1980 might not be too far behind. I played side 1 of STS yesterday,...

A piece of Tracie trivia. Tracie presents the morning show on Southend Radio at the moment and I think she was the one who broke the news of Paul Weller's father's death a few months back

First time I saw EC was 1977 July 26th at Dingwalls in Camden Town, can't say I remember much about the gig now, it's a long time ago. Then there was a gap of nearly three years until I caught up with him again and that was at the Rainbow on the 29th September 1980, The Stray Cats were the support....

To Make You Feel My Love by Billy Joel. Just discovered what a great song it is. There was a cover version by Adele a few years back that I quite liked and it was the first time I'd heard Billy's version in many a moon today.

This thread hasn't been used for a while. Readers in the North of England may know the misery of pushing a trolley around Morrisons (a UK supemarket for those who don't know.) I was in the Halifax branch yesterday and imagine my surprise when Everyday I Write the Book came on the instore music syst...

Im ashamed to say I only own 2 Beatles albums (other than compliations) The White Album and Revolver. I only bought Revolver yesterday. So I wont vote. Gonna buy them all on the remasters now though I was in Hyde Park as a small child with my mum when the photos for Beatles for Sale were being take...

Painted from Memory for me is his last great record and certainly in England it did not get the airplay it deserved which I think could have made it a major seller. North has some great songs but is sometimes hard to listen to in one sitting but certainly if the iPod is on shuffle and the odd song c...

The Dominion Theatre Tottenham Court Road Christmas 1978. There was a large Elvis above the entrance and a laser shooting off down Oxford Street. The security was very tight and would not let anyone stand up. Followed by a gig at the Hammersmith Palais I think it was the following month but it may h...

Thought it was a good show rather than great, Mystery Train,Don't lie to me and "devil" seemed to go down better with the crowd than the Elvis songs with the people around me. Two of my party (morning red shoes and white "figure") stayed towards the back to watch the football and...

Unless the front row is the Barbican where we got stuck behind the Celloist (?) and all we saw all night was her back ha ha.

Nice photos terry you had a great view. Great show, Good For The Roses was top class as good a version as I've heard. Can't say I'm over impressed by the new songs, but given time perhaps I will. Maybe I should listen to the versions on here but I always like to just get the new album and not know a...
