The last information is for the date august 16 after Ernst Jorgensen has made the announcement at the graceland plaza in Memphis:
FTD will release in September “48 hours to Memphis”. A Live Concert registration from March 18, 1974 in Richmond Virginia. This recording was made 2 days before “Recorded live on stage in Memphis”. The song “How great thou art” from “Recorded live on stage in Memphis” won Grammy Award for best gospel performances.
It’s an unbelievable discovery: The recording “48 hours to Memphis” came from a newly discovered, unmarked tape which later appeared to be a copy of the 16-track recording machine. Ernst Jorgensen said that he got the tape from a Dutch fellow who had come to acquire the tape some years back. And, yes, he confirmed the engineers were testing the equipmenet for the Memphis show.
People who attended the concert from Richmond and heard “48 hours to Memphis” believe that this recording came closest to the actual experience of an Elvis Presley concert. This CD will be presented as an 7” album with a 16-page booklet featuring never before seen photos of the actual concert.

Ernst Jørgensen also talked about the progress his long-awaited deluxe SUN Book/CD set. He noted that it could be "technically finished" by the end of 2011. Their "ambition" is to have it out in April 2012. The proofreading has been done, but there were still improvements being made to some of the rougher recordings. Jørgensen added that though the ongoing delay is unfortunate, the good news is that during the recent additional work, he's found another new 25 photos to consider for the project.

A Message from Lisa Marie Presley at Candlelight VigilThe following message below from Lisa Marie Presley was read tonight to fans who gathered at the gates of Graceland for the annual Candlelight Vigil during Elvis Week 2011:
Dear Friends:
Thank you so much for being here and continuing to honor the legacy of my father. Your ongoing love and support mean very much to me and my family. My father always said he had the best fans in the world, and he was right. The fact that you are here to celebrate his life 34 years after his passing is a testament to that.
I hope you've enjoyed our new exhibits at Graceland and I look forward to being involved personally with a very special exhibit called "Elvis Through His Daughter's Eyes" opening in the Spring of next year.
Before we know it, it will be Elvis Week 2012, which as you all know as the 35th anniversary will be special time. I look forward to being there with you, my mother and entire family.
Thank you all and I'll see you next August.
