The Danish Memphis Mansion published volume 2 of their re-vamped Elvis Unlimited magazine.
This edition contains interesting reads on being a collector - with stories behind great items like the actual copy of 'That's All Right Mama' that was played on WHBQ-radio by Dewey Philips - being a fan - meeting Elvis and running a fan club in the old days - and an interview with B.B. King, addressing a relevant theme like 'racism' and Elvis' relation to African Americans growing up in the south and recording "black" music.
This issue comes with a flexi-disc featuring a unique movie mix of 'Flaming Star', not available anywhere else.

Kickin' It Down In Baltimore
Ampex import label announced the release of 'Kickin' It Down In Baltimore' featuring an audience recording of the November 9, 1971 concert as recorded in Baltimore, MD. The label also announced that it had more releases in store featuring with "some brand new shows!".
From the press release:
While previously released on 'An Unforgettable Night In Baltimore' we have managed to find a much better sounding tape from a completely new source!
This is a shame because after a tiring, but successful Vegas season, Elvis reinvigorated himself and performed what could be considered his best tour of the seventies! Provided with some newly made jumpsuits and performing shows - generally lasting over one hour - and with J.D. Sumner & The Stamps Quartet replacing the imperials, good times never seemed so good!
It's great when a good sounding tape like this is found nearly 50 years later. A tape that proves what an electrifying performer Elvis really was! Featuring fantastic performances of 'It's Now Or Never', 'Are You Lonesome Tonight', 'How Great Thou Art', 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', 'Help Me Make It Through "The Night', 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' and many more. The CD comes as a digi-pack and is filled with photos, making this release a pleasure for your eyes and ears.
