I will believe it, when I actually see them in stores! I do not trust RCA/BMG, nor do I trust EPE. There have been way too many delays in releasing these on DVD. I am looking forward to them for sure, but I am not holding my breath.

My only hope is that these DVD's are COMPLETE with no songs missing, but some how I doubt it as they can sell them to us AGAIN in a few more years!!

The quality will be awesome, and they will be released by the end of June. Remember, The 50th anniv is comming up, so this will be out prior to Julyy 5th, and the anniv should give it a huge push to help introduce Elvis to the younger generation. Lord knows they can use someone like Elvis more than ever.

LOL. Tony. Come on, you know they won't wait a couple of years, they will try to re-sell them again in 3 or 4 months, with one additional song, that they'll tell you that was lost somewhere. See, this really bothers me because, of course the core fans are going to buy them , however, our goal should be for them to have a unique strategy to get this stuff out to the new generation. I am a second generation fan being 40 years old, and I know if they promote it correctly the younger ones will latch on, and God knows they need Elvis now more than ever, before music culture goes down the drain. This is the 50th anniv of Elvis at Sun records, and if we want the Sun to rise again, we should let BMG know. Put a group together with some idea's and send it to the people in charge of the Elvis catalogue. Think about it...

Has anyone seen the original notification from RCA/BMG? I have been trying to find it but no luck so far. I find it odd that such an announcement has not been mentioned on the 'news' section of the official Elvis site.

I have been wondering about the Aloha Footage. I know about the Japanese Film crew that filmed the show also. I wonder if they are using this footage which is alot different than the American Crews footage. OR if they have all the footage from each and every camera that was filming and can now make a completey different show with completely different angles. they should also include the Japanese Noodle soup commercial that was made with the Aloha footage. it was only shown in Japan. I have seen it on a VCD that I have. I hope also that they add the songs and the next Aloha from hawaii that is released after this one should be the new 3D version in the future. Does anyone know about what footage they have and will use.
