January 30 - The National Red Tribute

The American gossip magazine National Enquirer has put together an 86 page 'tribute' magazine about Elvis, for February 2013. The Enquirer seems to be focused on Colonel Parker's role in the Elvis Organisation and describes that with very unfriendly words. And of course, the 'casket picture' is featured too. 

Welcome To Paradise City

The Touchdown Records import release "Welcome To Paradise City" was released. It contains an audience-recording of the February 18, 1977 as recorded at the Carolina Coliseum in Columbia/South Carolina.


A Red Christmas


In 1957, an engineer at the RCA plant in New Jersey where "Elvis' Christmas Album" was being pressed made himself a very special souvenir. He used the red vinyl normally reserved for classical albums to press a copy of the new Elvis Presley record. Four decades later, the red record made its way from that retiring engineer to a dealer, who auctioned it to the present owner for a record sum.

That album has been put on sale on eBay by the owner, the Rev. Steven Banas, a Southern Baptist minister and a longtime collector from Reeds Spring, Mo., with a buy-it-now price of $29,999.99. The sale is scheduled to end at 3:30 p.m. EST Thursday.
