It looks very impressive as they always do - looks like something else that will have to get smuggled in to avoid the accountant Is that you David in the background on the left calculating the price on your phone

Re: New FTDs: MSG & Blue Hawaii.
Apparently, someone on the Hoffman site has given a price of $370.

...plain & simple that's a tactic used for years to try to gain more orders...nothing more.Wonderwall wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 6:49 pmOn the other hand that's the same Elvis Shop who claimed that the On Tour box would have a very limited pressing, and as far as I can tell there's been absolutely no shortage whatsoever.
So who knows...

Re: New FTDs: MSG & Blue Hawaii.
They’ve probably added shipping costs to the US to get to $370

Re: New FTDs: MSG & Blue Hawaii.
My suspicion is that they will do the Memphis show (again) with it being packaged with the March 16 Afternoon show and/or its evening show or March 17 afternoon show.

Re: New FTDs: MSG & Blue Hawaii.
Now Dig This are offering these already. And they confirm that the Blue Hawaii audio will be re-issued later this year. That's very good news for many who requested this.

Re: New FTDs: MSG & Blue Hawaii.
Isn't Never Been To Spain on The Searcher the Matt Ross Spang Mix? Remember reading something like this when it came out in 2018? Guess he remixed both MSG-concerts around that time and that's what we get now.
Always thought Never Been To Spain on The Searcher sounded quite good. A bit more upfront sound with a nice seperation.

Re: New FTDs: MSG & Blue Hawaii.
That’s a nice surprise. I’ll go with BH but not sure about MSG. I’m surprised MSG is selling for the same price as a small 3 CD digipak for a soundboard though.hm80ep wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 8:44 pm...and their prices are £50.00 for MSG and £200.00 for BH.On Tape 1972 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 8:36 pmNow Dig This are offering these already.

Re: New FTDs: MSG & Blue Hawaii.
For me, the later the better. The increase in higher bills that have been popping through the letter box these last few days is frightening especially as we are unexpectedly having to also spend £4k on a new gas boiler.

Re: New FTDs: MSG & Blue Hawaii.
I’m glad that we already know that there’s going to be an FTD audio only release later this year, so I’ll wait for that. I bought The Making Of Jailhouse Rock because of the audio in sequence, not so much for the books. But I don’t regret buying it as the books are great, not to forget that it was because of the film that I became an Elvis fan. If Jailhouse Rock is re-released in the Session series I will buy it again though.
Re: New FTDs: MSG & Blue Hawaii.
Listening to Reconsider Baby & I'll Remember You now from the Essential 70's Masters back to back with the same songs from Prince From Another Planet and to me the Joan Deary masters win hands down. Sounds a lot warmer to me than the PFAP mixes to me. Hope they get it right this time!
Re: New FTDs: MSG & Blue Hawaii.
Oh my god.
PEOPLE there is very, very little left. It is AMAZING to get another chance to listen to these shows (some of his very best of the era) in a new light.
