March 23 - FTD Releases Delayed

Due to the coronavirus outbreak the Follow That Dream collectors label postponed the upcoming releases 'Elvis: St. Louis / Spokane" and 'The Kid Galahad Sessions' to at least the second week of April. 

Message from FTD to the dealers

Firstly, we sincerely hope that your good-self, your family and friends are  all safe in this most difficult of times. Despite the serious implication of the Coronavirus, it seems Elvis can provide some  much needed sanity for many of us while confined to our homes.  
We are currently waiting to discover what release date we can confirm for our next releases, St. Louis and Kid Galahad. This will obviously depend on what facility Impulse and DSV can offer with  reduced and restricted personnel.

We will update when possible but nothing can and will ship until 2nd week of April if at all possible.  No recent orders sent will be processed before the new release ships.
  
Best wishes
Roger and Ernst

42 Years

Elvis lived 15,561 days. Today on March 23rd, 2020, Elvis Presley will have been gone the same number of days. That's exactly 42 years, 7 months and 8 days. So from today, March 23rd on, he will have been gone longer than he was with us. 

Felling Better

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson ‘feel better’ two weeks after first coronavirus symptoms. The two stars tested positive for the novel coronavirus while in Australia and were self-quarantined after they were released from a hospital.
Hanks tweeted late Sunday: “Two weeks after our first symptoms and we feel better.”

He also reminded people of the importance of sheltering in place during the pandemic: “You don’t give it to anyone – You don’t get it from anyone. Common sense, no?” Tom Hanks

Hanks was in Australia for pre-production work on a film about Elvis Presley.

He’s set to play Presley’s manager, Colonel Tom Parker, in the film. Production on the project has been suspended.
