Re: BBC radio reject Elvis song list, Dec. 10

Possibly the Tracks Of My Years feature during the Ken Bruce show. Celebrities select ten favourite tracks which are broadcast two at a time over a week. For each song the celebrity explains why the song is so special for them. To get a feel for how dull the celebrities and their choices are here ar...

I've got the promo double "EP" set of get happy on vinyl which I think has 5 songs a side ( makes my simple mathematical brain look rather good the way i divided 20 by 4 there !) but I've only played it once since I shelled out a kings ransom for them back in the late 80s at a record fair...

Yes I'm in the UK. Haven't unwrapped the box yet but there is no region information on the package anywhere that I can see. On the rear it just says DVD with CC (Closed Captioning) underneath.

I ordered it from amazon.ca (it's significantly cheaper there than on amazon.com) on Tuesday evening with the two to four week shipping for a total of C$47.47 (c. £27). It arrived this morning (and there were no customs charges to pay)!

Re: Elvis debuting new recording on 7" vinyl

For those in the UK, it can be ordered from hmv.co.uk although it is out of stock at the moment. For those who can't wait and don't mind paying more juno.co.uk had it in stock this morning. Rough Trade might also have it although it isn't on their website - I received a copy from them last week.
