What a brilliant release. Thank you Ernst Jorgensen. Sure can't wait for this gem of a book with 2 soundboard CDs.

How does this book differ from Obersts's other book about the same subject 'Elvis in Texas: The Undiscovered King 1954-1958'. Does this mean this is a way for BMG to get people to shell out for the price of the book when all they want is the Cds as they already have Oberst's original book?

I think it's a great release, but as I said before with the "That's The Way It Was" release from FTD I find it too expensive. I heard that we have to pay about 79 euro's for the "Texas" release. I am afraid that many Elvis fans find that too much. Maybe I will buy it later, but now with the other releases "Elvis Is Back", "Big Boss Man" and some bootlegs like "A Legendary Performer, vol. 5" and "Keep The Fire Burning" I skipp the "Texas" release.

Is this really the cover for the FTD release ? It looks good but I think it didn´t fit to the CDs, so why ? I hope they use a picture from the shows we get on the CDs. TCB.

I hope the coverdesign will be like on the latest elvisnews wallpaper! It's the same cover but the colours have been re-designed a little, and that makes it looking less cheap!
