Nothing sinister or benevolent towards Elvis. SImply, Amazon were a pound cheaper.

Well, it looks to me that SONY/BMG seen that the MRS single was one pound cheaper than their own release so lowered their price to price match, at that point MRS lowered thiers by another pound to still be cheaper than SONY/BMG's release? Elvis release politics if you ask me.

I have, for vertually every one of the first issues(boxes included) I've had e-mails to say that they have been dispatched.

Brian - as you're in the know, have you had any feedback from BMG as to orders on these. I don't want a repeat of the fiasco from 2005. And let's hope BMG put any stickers in sensible places this time - not right across Elvis' face etc.

he-he, reading all these opinions is funny. Everybody's a genious on marketing except the ones at the record company. Yeah.. yrFlamingPacer, I want Elvis' Complete Works, with all sessions and outtakes, in a 150 cd-box set. And of course I want everything Elvis ever did in movies and concerts thats been filmed. I want a complete 20++ hour dvd from On Tour, TTWII, and of course In Concert - all 6 hours that was filmed. Stupid people at the record company dont understand anything... ;-)) Oh, and I want it released by september this year. Ok Ernst, you fix that? ;-))

For those of you who have already ordered the singles week by week then you will pay the original prices unless you cancel your original order and re-order with the new prices.

Probably because they where trying to rip fans off in the first case and now the've been lumbered with stock's through lack of intrest over the price. Nothing to do with trying to get Elvis a better chart position

Do we think that's because they've had no Interest in them or are they lowering it to try and help towards a good chart position, Anyone ? TCB
