Due for release on the Follow That Dream label in the Classic Album series is "50,000,000 Million Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong". The releasedate is April 1, 2007.
"50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong" continues Follow That Dream Records' series of reissues of classic Elvis albums that are no longer part of the RCA Records mainstream Elvis catalog. These reissues feature original album cover art and great additional recordings not included on the original release.
The reissue of 50,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong (Elvis' Gold Records, Volume 2) is expanded into a 2-disc set. Follow That Dream Records chose to include the entire June 10, 1958 sessions to give you the experience of following Elvis through a whole night of sessions.

Fantastic news ! One of the best Elvis record ever ! I've discovered Elvis music in 1959 with an EP coming from this LP (I need your love tonight, I got stung, One night, Fool such as I). Elvis at his best. This record changed my life. I can't wait for this FTD.

Fantastic! Can't wait! This to me is the best Elvis album ever, from the iconic cover to the tracks. The '59 tracks have a rocking feel that few others have, Elvis was loose and Hank Garland's guitar perfect. I believe the Colonel thought they were too "noisy", hence Elvis never quite sounded like this again.

Hm, good you are all so glad with this CD. I'm looking forward to it, too. But to be honest..this is another FTD I could live without. I got all the takes on countless bootlegs. As I said: I think this is a great CD but I can't understand why everybody is so extatic about this material. You can buy most of the takes for 10 $ on Ebay every day. Where is my "Raised On Rock" session?

Wow, what a release! The complete session idea is a good one, I would rather this patern were followed than odd takes mixed up although some people find the chronological layout boring. The songs mentioned as being missing from the release were only ever on overseas releases and re-issues where the running time was bumped up. The original US LP release was very short. Regarding Hank Garland, I too think that he was the best guitarist that ever worked with Elvis. I love Scotty's and James' work, but I Hank's playing overtook theirs. On the day he died, the first thing I did when I got home was to play "Little Sister" at full blast.

This is my favorite volume in the Gold Records series. I'm glad it's being released because I don't have these on countless bootlegs. Also, all my experiences with eBay have been horrendous. I stay away from them. Honestly, I'll probably only play the first 15 tracks a lot. I'm not much for countless takes of a song one after the other. Glad to see that that the cd includes BOTH the original LP version and single master of "Doncha' Think It's Time." I perfer the LP version. Also, glad for the inclusion of the "Elvis Sails" EP material.

Mixed emotions here. Probably my favorite Elvis rockin period was 1958. All the songs are just great rock n roll and the original album was a true classic. But exactly what are we getting new here? The countless outtakes have been around for years on great sounding bootlegs & several official RCA releases. Is anyone really gonna play all the back to back outtakes of I Got Stung & others more than once? I look at this as a fine release but not toally essential for the price.
JerryNodak wrote on
February 21, 2007
Steve V: I agree with the points you raise. As you say say it's perhaps not "essential." Still, I'm glad it's being released in this form. Do you or anyone know who did the mastering?? If it's Kevan Budd or Sebastain J., great!! If it's Lene R., Ouch!!

I'm happy to see some members of the gang here love Hank Garland as much as I love him. ;-) His car crash was a tragedy, for him of course, and for the music we love. I've never heard a guitar player as good as he was. Panda and Jerry... here also, the original LP (I own it, bought in 1961) had only 10 songs (the ten first in the list above). I think it was the same in any country.

I´m once again along the view of Mature and Steve here.. but then again I´m not an outtake fan myself. Seem pointless and a of huge lack of creative ideas to release material an artist threw in the garbage can in the first place. Different versions ok, but false starts etc? I can promise you100% that Elvis himself would not have liked those versions being released. And no, I did not know Elvis personally Lex, but I know a great deal about the artists view, especially when the artist/band has put huge amount of effort to get a perfect master version down on tape. FTD is not always a celebration to Elvis, and his music. It´s sometimes a perfect example on milking everything out on a dead superstar. Some may say -"well nobody will know about this since it´s a small fan based label etc. Problem is that since the same guys also are responsible for BMG releases, they are confusing buyers, radio etc because they´ve lost track themselves of the accurate and best sounding versions themselves. And think about it, why dont the other labels that have Beatles, Hendrix, Sinatra, Lennon Marley, release their garbage versions?? -Respect I believe. In my mind this is worse than the "ducks, "dolls, impersonators bla bla since this is about the most important part of Elvis´ legacy, -the music.
Dixieland Rock wrote on
February 21, 2007
Jesper, on your comment about "Elvis himself would not have liked those versions being release". I respectfully disagree with you there. Remember "A Legendary Performer Volume 1 & 2" were both released in Elvis' lifetime and was full of outtakes, some false starts and alernate takes. Obviously Elvis didn't mind those outtakes released for the fact that "A Legendary Performer Volume 2" was released. The alternate take of "I Love You Because" & the false starts of "Such A Night" was great to hear when released and Elvis made money from them. I think this release is great. In some cases I like the outtakes better than the masters. A great example is take 10 of "I Got Stung" & take 4 of "A Big Hunk of Love". Those are fine performances. Again I think it's great that we can now have an official release of these songs in correct sequence take after take in one collection. Again great work FTD.

I take complete Elvis session outtakes over an Elvis rubber duck any time of the day! As you stated it's all about Elvis' legacy, which is after all his music. If you think a rubber duck or table lamp serves him better, go for it! P.S.: Do you have any idea how many hours of Beatles outtakes are out there and are being craved by the fans? A Beatles collector's label will be a matter of time (EMI is in serious trouble anyways). There is a reason these artists keep fascinating new generations over and over again, they created a lasting legacy...

I agree Dixeland, but it´s absurd now, dont you think?! "Legendary performer" was made with love, and that came across. One can surely find forgotten pearls and make something creative out of it. But dont mix that with nonsens. Cause that´s what 95% of the outtakes are,- nonsens.

Ever since I became an Elvis fan way back in 1960 (OK, so now you know I am over 21!) my prime aim in life was to collect every burp, bleep and fart Elvis committed to tape. I'm pretty sure I would not have achieved this aim by the time I Walk Dem Golden Stairs to meet my idol in that Mansion On The Hill but boy, was it fun! You may call me a nut or a fanatic but I do not regret every single cent spent in all these years on buying records, tapes and CDs trying to own EVERYTHING Elvis recorded and that of course includes all available takes of each song. True, I may not listen to them in their entirety but just having them in my collection gives me a sense of satisfaction and pride. Isn't that what every collector, be it of stamps, postcards, beer mats, guns, keychains etc etc does? So do keep them coming Ernst. I still have all 30 outtakes of "Hound Dog" and 27 of "Don't Be Cruel" missing from my collection - and time is running out for me!

Steve V wrote on
February 21, 2007
I guess EJF summed it up pretty well. Thats why FTD does it folks. As I said before, and was roundly booed upon, there are fans that would buy a CD of Elvis burping the phone book. As for The Legendary Performer LP issue, that came out at a time when outtakes were a real rarity and RCA was sitting on some real gems. You cannot compare that release to a CD that has 40 takes of Loving You (I sold that CD by the way). And I'm sure Elvis prob had nothing to do with the decision of releasing the Legendary series since RCA was doing it on all their artists back then. I'm sure the Colonel/RCA liked the idea cause they didnt have to get Elvis in the studio and it was easy money to be made. As for The Beatles outtakes, dont you think they are not out because Paul & Ringo are still around and dont want their lesser tracks to be heard?
coll wrote on
February 21, 2007
Steve I disagree. I love the Beatles too and I would love to hear their outtakes, but do you know what, very few exist! From the Beatles onwards, recording music changed. Where Elvis sang every song live with the band until he got one he liked, the Beatles introduced true studio recording by creating an instrumental, overdubbing it with effects, and adding the vocal, often over days. So we can count ourselves lucky to have all this stuff on Elvis, it's becasue he was from an era of "old-fashioned" recording methods. And I would certainlynot buy Elvis burping the phone book. The discussion here is on live outtakes of some of the greatest rock'n'roll songs ever cut.

i must point out, that being a collector of Beatles and Jimi hendrix, they already have released a few outtakes, the Beatles with the 3 double disc Anthology albums, and Hendrix with the long purple box called The Jimi hendrix Experience. basically Its great to hear outtakes, even if you only listen to them once, and like EJF stated earlier, its just the feeling of pride and appreciation for owning all the outtakes! i cant wait for this to be released properly!
Steve V wrote on
February 21, 2007
coll - Beatles outtakes exist. There are some on the Anthology sets, there are many on diff bootlegs, so they are certainly there that can be released officially. I heard Paul or Yoko was holding them back from official release. But whatever, I understand fans want it all. I like alt takes when a song is done differently, vocally or instrumentally. To sit thru 20 false starts of even a classic more than one time is hard for me and I dont see this done with any other artist. To each his own.

This sounds like a great release and i am looking forward to it. Dixieland rock - I dont think Elvis had a clue about a lot of the releases particularly in the 70's - if he had i am sure you would have not seen the likes of Burning Love and Hits from his movies LP! Or Always on my mind and Separate ways buried on crappy camden releases. And i dont think he made any money from them as Parker had sold his back catalogue to RCA for peanuts!

To clarify my last point - he made no money from the legandary performer vols 1 and 2
Dixieland Rock wrote on
February 22, 2007
My point was that the idea of releasing outtakes & "false starts" of Elvis in the studio began in Elvis' lifetime. I knew as I typed the comment "and Elvis made money from them", there would be reaction. Whether or not Elvis actually made money on them or not is neither here nor there. Regardless of whoever got the money, the Legendary Performer series was popular enough to have a Volume 2, 3 and 4. John4126, you may be right about Elvis not having a clue to what was released during that period. I sure can't say. I agree with you about the original "Burning Love" on a budget album. How Elvis, the Coloniel, & RCA allowed that to happen is beyond me. But regardless, I personally think that the June 1958 session released in sequence, take after take is great. As a collector, I like having the option of buying them this way. So hats off to FTD. The "95% outtakes" here are not nonsense. This pure unbridled rock n roll in the making by a group of guys that knew how to rock & were having fun in the studio while making great music. Again excellant release!!!

I'm happy with this release. I've been hoping for a good compile of the '58 recordings for a long time. As for the endless takes of the same song, one has to remember that these 2-disc "classic album" releases are the same price as the standard single-disc FTD's. The FTD "Loving You" is a great release even though I've only listened to the second disc once.

I'm surprised to read these comments about Elvis wanting or not the outtakes be released. Honestly, I don't care! Elvis sold his songs to RCA in a ridiculous deal, and I don't think he cared that much about the songs he recorded. It's a pity, but it's reality. Beside this, releasing outtakes, false starts and so on is the purpose of the FTD serie. So, if you don't want them, the best way is to end the FTD stuff. Elvis is dead for God's sake, and outtakes is all we have to keep him live in our heart ! We have here a real piece of History. Among the best songs ever recorded ("I need your love tonight" is my favorite for almost 50 years !) in the R'N'R music, with the best singer and the best musicians ever reunited in a studio !

I think this is a great release. And one of Elvis best albums too, although I wonder why they didn't include the Hard Headed Woman/Don't Ask Me Why single in 1959 to make the album a little longer. The June 58 session has always been a favourite. Concerning The Beatles, they werent really live performers, at least not after 1966. So it's not really a pleasure to listen to Beatles outtakes, in my opinion, save for a few demos.

Jerry, I meant in 1959. But maybe you did as well ... I think it's funny that single was omitted in 1959 since the first Golden Records included Teddy Bear and Loving You which was on the Loving You soundtrack LP the year before.

As stated elsewhere, it's hard to keep up with these releases, but then if you're not a total Elvis fanatic, you're not going to want to hear all his work anyway. But I even wonder about that. In the late '90s, when I got back into Elvis fandom, I stumbled upon the "Platininum" boxset and, like a novice, was angry that RCA was still pawing off the same hits - along with phony "new" songs, i.e. "outtakes," or, as they called them, "alternates."
Later, I came to realize how nearly all of the unused takes were full of slightly different and brilliant "new" Elvis music, if you could stand the occasional flub. "Collector's Gold," "T/T/F" and "Close-Up" and others have done wonders mining such outtakes. As for the session-style, take-by-take approach, again this is for true *fanatics*, and even then, you'll probably not sit down with it often. I have found I can only sit through one song at a time , as it's really some ten minutes or more in some cases until he got it right.
But I've also loaded all my Elvis masters and outtakes into my computer at work and have them on "shuffle" and in that way, such duplicate songs turn up in a fresh, random setting that puts SIRIUS to shame. :
This is truly classic album and I'm pleased to see come out. As for Kevan Budd "just" doing '50s work, he in fact recently did "Let Yourself Go!- The Making of the '68 Comeback Special" on FTD, so why all the complaining, Mature? Maybe he's big on chronology, or more likely, spotlighting what he finds most important. Can anyone deny that the '50s and '68 remain a career hightlights? I would be happy to see Mr. Budd tackle some '60s work, though. "No Room to Rhumble," indeed.

It says FTD chose the June 10th recording sessions to be included here. I Beg Of You was recorded in 1957 along with One Night I believe. I think they wanted to represent this session on the CD for a comprehensive feel, you know same musicians, atmosphere, etc. Just a guess on my part.

I think this will be a great release because of the material and the completeness of it. Some people like the outtakes and other don't...to each his own. I am a completist and I want all of the material. It is amazing to me to hear Elvis and the band work through a song...this is history! The FTD label was put together for the collectors of rarities, and this is what we are getting with all of the outtakes. I have these on bootlegs too, but the quality here should be outstanding (you would think). I just hope there isn't fade outs after each take like the Little Sister material that was released. I like to hear the banter in between takes and the count-ins to the songs, whether it is drum clicks, claps, or voices. I am looking forward to this one!
