October 28 - The King's Jukebox

Following on from the success of Volume One, Vee-Tone Records presented "The Memphis Jukebox Volume Two", a further musical exploration into Elvis Presley's personal 45 rpm record collection, in London.


"This is the first ever series to contain the actual music contained on Elvis Presley's jukebox at his Graceland home and offers a fascinating insight into his musical tastes and influences. The recently discovered lost jukebox 45s were purchased by collector Henrik Knudsen at auction and the details published in the February 2010 issue of Record Collector magazine article by Megan M Murphy, The Secrets of Elvis's Jukebox."


Lamar Fike Back Home


Lamar Fike is no longer staying in the hospital. He was admitted to Arlington Memorial Hospital after his kidneys shut down, but his cardiologist found him fit enough to leave the hospital. We wish Lamar a quick and complete recovery.
