EPE silently added a mini-site to their website for the Follow That Dream Collector's label releases at http://www.elvis.com/ftdreleases/default.aspx.
Elvis fans now have access to over a hundred of Elvis' rare song and movie collections on Elvis.com. The new Follow That Dream database provides the complete FTD catalog featuring rare photos, movie trailers, posters, and more!
Elvis fans can now search for the latest FTD releases all in one location on Elvis.com. You can preview audio clips from the albums and view exclusive photos and video from Elvis' movies, concerts, and live performances. The database provides the entire FTD series broken down by decade, giving the ultimate collector a user-friendly tool to find their rare Elvis collection.
The Follow That Dream collector series is a program created by Sony that serves the dedicated collector. There are currently over 100 titles available with additional titles released four times a year. The titles include material ranging from multiple takes from studio sessions and previously unreleased concert recordings.
FTD releases also include Elvis' movie soundtracks with previously unreleased material as well as other deleted RCA titles that have been re-released exclusively on the FTD label. Also on occasion, FTD releases special book/CD combos.
Wall Street Journal Credits Elvis
The Wall Street Journal is crediting Elvis for giving Hawaiian shirts a boost in popularity in a recent article about designers trying new patterns. In an article titled "When Designers Meddle With Hawaiian Shirts," the Wall Street Journal says, "The shirts got a celebrity boost after Elvis Presley sported one of designer Alfred Shanheen's Hawaiian shirts on the cover of the "Blue Hawaii" soundtrack." Hawaii was very important to Elvis both as a place to perform and as his own personal vacation destination. In January, Elvis fans will celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Aloha from Hawaii in Honolulu.
