June 27 - Fun In Houston, Fort Worth and Baton Rouge

According to posts on the Elvis Presley FTD Collectors Label group on Facebook the first fans received the latest Follow That Dream 2-LP ‘Fun In Acapulco’. 

This FTD edition of the soundtrack album features a collection of Masters and Outtakes.

According to a post from the Danish Memphis Mansion, the 3-CD-set 'Houston, Fort Worth, Baton Rouge 1974' has been released too. 

This set features the concerts: 

CD 1: Astrodome, Houston, Texas (Evening Show), March 3rd 1974.

CD 2: Tarrant County Convention Center, Fort Worth, Texas (Evening Show), June 15th 1974.

CD 3: Louisiana State University Assembly Center, Baton Rouge,

Louisiana, June 17th 1974.

The Elvis Information Network noted:  The Texas Astrodome concert has previously been bootlegged multiple times ie 'Event Number 8' and '8th Wonder Of The World'. It is a fascinating concert for only having Elvis' TCB band and without any orchestra. Hopefully the sound is vastly improved. The FTD-label previously released other shows from these tours:  'Sold Out! CD1 - Tulsa, Oklahoma, March 1st' and also Fort Worth, Texas 1974 June 16 Afternoon and Evening Show.

The Follow That Dream label previously announced that the 'How Great Thou Art Sessions' 5-CD-set were delayed.

Here is the first unboxing video.

Elvis at 21

Insight Editions re-issued Alfred Wertheimers 2006 photobook 'Elvis at 21 - New York to Memphis' as a 290-page hardcover edition.

Publicity stated: In 1956, photographer Alfred Wertheimer was asked to photograph the then twenty-one-year-old Elvis Presley just as his career was about to explode. This book features the collection of photos taken by Wertheimer, offering a snapshot of the young Elvis Presley’s remarkable rise to fame and his permanent status as the “King of Rock ’n’ Roll.”       

In 1956, Alfred Wertheimer was asked by Presley’s new label, RCA Victor, to photograph Elvis Presley’s budding career just as it was about to take off in a way the world had never seen. With unimpeded access to the young performer, Wertheimer captured unguarded and everyday moments in Elvis’s life during that crucial year. It was a year that took him from Tupelo, Mississippi, to the silver screen, the verge of international stardom, and his crowning as the “King of Rock 'n' Roll.” As Wertheimer photographed Elvis during 1956, and again in 1958, he created classic images that are spontaneous, unrehearsed, and without artifice.

A Pivotal Year: Dubbed the “King of Rock ’n’ Roll” in 1956, 21-year-old Elvis, placed 17 songs on Billboard’s Top 100 singles chart, including 3 singles that reached #1, appeared multiple prime-time TV variety shows, performed 143 times in 79 different cities, and released his first film, Love Me Tender
