The Belgian / Dutch Elvis Presley fan-club ElvisMatters announced the release of a bonus DVD titled 'We're From Europe And Going To See Elvis' for customers who buy the upcoming Dutch book 'Elvis, Wij Waren Erbij' (Elvis, We Were There!') from Erik van den Berg.
The film features unique private recordings from Memphis and Vegas, offering a rare glimpse into how these fans lived their dream—in color, full of emotion, and straight from the 1970s.
The DVD perfectly complements Erik van den Berg's book, which recounts the adventures of these fans and is richly filled with photos, letters, and documents from the same period
New Re-issue Vinyl
The Music On Vinyl record label announced the next batch in their Elvis Presley re-issue program.
Publicity stated: First of all, we hope your November started off great! We certainly haven’t been sitting still and are more than ready to announce the next three titles in our Elvis Presley reissue series. As expected, the first three batches were well received and we are down to our last copies so if you haven’t made a move yet, now is the time.
Much more than a collection of leftovers: Elvis Back In Memphis! The album is comprised of material culled from the 1969 session recorded at American Sound Studio in Memphis that yielded the classic From Elvis in Memphis album.
After being out of print for a good number of years, we are making 15 titles out of our Elvis Presley back catalogue available again between August 2025 and February 2026. Each title will see two different editions: one on regular-coloured vinyl and one very limited on mix-coloured, marbled vinyl, both housed in deluxe sleeves with a linen look and feel.
Back In Memphis is comprised of material culled from the 1969 session recorded at American Sound Studio in Memphis that yielded the classic From Elvis in Memphis album. But, this album is much more than a collection of leftovers. Elvis' rendition of Percy Mayfield’s "Stranger In My Home Town" for example is a fan-favourite and somewhat of a hidden gem among Elvis aficionados. Leftovers or not: this album once again proves that the King could really do no wrong and that there is no such thing as “leftovers” in his vocabulary anyway.
Back In Memphis is a limited edition of 500 individually numbered copies on green marble vinyl and on green marbled vinyl and 1,500 copies on green colored vinyl.

Each title will see two different editions: one on regular-coloured vinyl and one very limited on mix-coloured, marbled vinyl, both housed in deluxe sleeves with a linen look and feel.
Good Times is Elvis Presley’s 20th studio album and was released in 1974, near the end of a career tragically cut short. Most of the tracks are the first pick of a recording session at the famous Stax Studios in December 1973, with “Take Good Care of Her” and “I’ve Got a Thing About You” as leftovers from a session at Stax in July of that year. The latter became a hit, rising to #4 on the Country charts. The album contains more top Elvis fare, though: “My Boy”, “Spanish Eyes”, “Loving Arms” & “She Wears My Ring”.
Good Times is available as a limited edition of 500 copies on pink marble vinyl and 1,500 copies on pink marbled vinyl.
On Stage - February, 1970 is Elvis' second live album recorded in his famous Vegas period. Includes UK #1 'The Wonder Of You'.
After being out of print for a good number of years, we are making 15 titles out of our Elvis Presley back catalogue available again between August 2025 and February 2026. Each title will see two different editions: one on regular-coloured vinyl and one very limited on mix-coloured, marbled vinyl, both housed in deluxe sleeves with a linen look and feel.
On Stage (subtitled February, 1970) is Elvis’ second live album, recorded in his famous Vegas period on two dates in 1969 and 1970. Unlike his previous live album, this record featured songs that were not typically associated with Presley’s regular live repertoire in favour of covers to show his ever-dedicated audience that he was very much staying abreast with current music. In this case we’re talking renditions of Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline”, Del Shannon’s “Runaway”, Tony Joe White’s “Polk Salad Annie”, and the Beatles’ “Yesterday”. But, it’s the Elvis staple “The Wonder Of You” which earned him a #1 hit in the UK. Fun fact: the album is also known for not showing Elvis’ name anywhere on the cover.
On Stage February, 1970 is available as a limited edition of 500 individually numbered copies on white and black marble vinyl and as a Limited Edition on 1,500 copies on blue colored vinyl. Bothe include a printed inner sleeve and 60x60cm fold-out poster.
Of course, we’ve arranged for attractive bundle discounts for the most serious collectors so make sure to head over the webstore to pre-order your copies. Next to the shop exclusives, we also have all titles on different colored vinyl too!
Raging Tiger Escaped
The Memphis Recording Service record label released their double CD and LP editions of their 'Raging Tiger - Closing Night 1974’ album. This is two weeks before the previously announced
Description: The set features one of Elvis’ most controversial performances recorded during his closing night at the Las Vegas Hilton, on the 2nd of September 1974. This important performance has never been officially released and now it is also remastered for 2025 and mixed into stereo.
This was an incredibly emotional show for Elvis at the end of one of his most impressive Las Vegas seasons with his emotions poured into songs such as 'It's Midnight', 'You Gave Me A Mountain' and 'If You Talk In Your Sleep' while at the same time showing his real anger at the recent negative press that he had been receiving.
