THE WAY IT WAS will be a 96 pages - 25 recordings - visual/audio documentary of the making of THAT'S THE WAY IT IS. With the support of TURNER ENTERTAINMENT, RCA RECORDS and ELVIS PRESLEY ENTERPRISES, we can now present Sherif Hanna's immaculate collection of photos from the film. The majority of the pictures we have chosen are in black and white, but there will also be a handsome collection of colour shots throughout the book. Facts about all the recorded material will be included in the book - complete with notations on where each recording was originally released. The book is printed on top quality paper, and wrapped in a glossy hard cover. The format is square - 24x24 cm's. The CD will be inside the book. It will contain songs from all of the recorded events and feature a total of 25 cuts. Only 4 of these have previously been released, but as RCA has released ALL they have from three of the recording dates, we had to include them if we wanted to have something from each date.

Had a very nice conversation with Ernst Jorgensen today, and obviously I asked him about this week's story that Mike Omansky had said that "they have located at least 16 lost tapes from the 50's and possibly more from other era's". Ernst says that Omanski was misquoted: they have not 'located' these tapes, they are in the process of buying them. He adds that there are 16 tapes in all, and only four from the '50s. Most of these tapes are the original masters of various 50s and 60s Elvis songs, which BMG does not have in their archives, and not necessarily outtakes. This includes the first RCA sessions from 1956 (a.o. 'Heartbreak Hotel'), and Ernst is particularly interested in the 'I Want You, I Need You, I Love You' tape, because he has never really been satisfied with the quality of the tape that BMG has. Some of the other master tapes include 'Down In The Alley' and 'Memories' (stereo). It seems that there's nothing from the 70's. Right now Jorgensen is working on the FTD-release SILVER SCREEN STEREO (November 1st, 2001), and he's quite excited about this release, although nothing is definite yet. I asked him whether there would be any stereo material from the 50's, and he anwered: "yes!". He added that "everybody is focusing on the stereo-version of 'Jailhouse Rock', but it might just as well be stereo material from 'King Creole'!". He did however not want to confirm whether there would actually be any material from that movie on this release, but he did add that there would probably also be 'new' outtakes from movies like 'The Trouble With Girls' and 'Double Trouble', none of which have been released in any form. As you know, the next FTD release (October 1st, 2001) contains outtakes from the Memphis '69 sessions. I asked Ernst whether this release would also be interesting for those that have collected all the Memphis '69 bootlegs, and he answered that all outtakes would be in stereo, and added that there would also be outtakes of songs that have never been bootlegged before, like for instance 'A Little Bit Of Green'.

Next 2 FTD CD's With the August 16 release of THE WAY IT WAS just a few weeks away, we have decided to announce the next releases in order to keep the rumour mill from overheating. October 1 will see the release of MEMPHIS SESSIONS. 75 minutes of music from Elvis' critically acclaimed sessions in January and February of 1969. The focus is as always on previously unreleased outtakes, but to cover as many songs as possible there will be a few previously released outtakes and a few undubbed masters. The reason for this is obviously that on some songs we have released all complete outtakes (SUSPICIOUS MINDS) and on others there are no outtakes (STRANGER IN MY OWN HOME TOWN) since the master was take 1. A complete track listing will be made available by the end of August. On November 1 we will have an extra release, as we did last year with TOO MUCH MONKEY BUSINESS. As last year, we will be covering what many seems to think is a less significant part of Elvis' career. SILVER SCREEN STEREO is of course a selection of outtakes from Elvis' movie soundtracks - OUT IN HOLLYWOOD VOL. 2 if you will. Whereas OUT IN HOLLYWOOD sold just as well as the best selling titles on FOLLOW THAT DREAM, many reviews very quite unkind, and we have consequently decided to make this an extra release, rather than the hot quarterly releases you have now come to expect. Don't get us wrong - we still think OUT IN HOLLYWOOD was a charming CD, and we will try to make this even better. (Source: Ernst Mikael Jorgensen)
