HI ELVIS COLLECTORS,
MID FEBRUARY FTD RELEASES!!!
FTD will release a 2 CD set ST PAUL TO WIHITA OVT '74; a 2 LP super vinyl booklet cover set KISSIN COUSINS; and a 350 + page book THROUGH THE LENS OF PHILLIP HARRINGTON (BOOK & CD) in another month. If you're on the automatic list you will get the CD but if you'd like the book and vinyl let me know.



HT LONG CD'S
If any of you have never heard of HT LONG before he's a super ELvis fan and collector and i've know him since the mid 1970's He lives in Malaysia and years ago he started issuing CD's and trust me this guy is REALLY REALLY GOOD as he sings in the Elvis style. I have one CD listed here but I havemaybe 15 others in case you're interested. You can go to YOU TUBE to hear what he sounds like.



WORLDWIDE ELVIS RARE RCA VINYL Facebook page!
I have just started working on Facebook page for Elvis collectors to post RARE Elvis 78's, singles, EP's, LP's and promotional records ONLY ON THE RCA label mainly from the 50's, 60's and 70's. Please don't bother putting any common releases or current vinyl up as this page has only been started to showcase very rare and unusal records from around the world on RCA ONLY!! Anyone who has any Elvis vinyl from Angola, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Egypt, Lebanon, Madagascar, Pakistan, Trinidad, Venezuela (especially early releases) would be most appreciated here as not much is known about these countries. Sorry, NO bootlegs, no Chinese, Malaysian, Far East type counterfeits or pirate records on Elvis.
The goal is for collectors to put up VERY UNUSUAL AND RARE RCA releases worldwide. I am not interested in the same old ones that always show up but Elvis vinyl from unusual countries like the ones mentioned above or any other countries that are not the typical US, England, France, Germany, Japan, etc which I'm sure everyone has seen a million times. Anyway I hope you will find this interesting as soon as people start posting.
Please go here to the WORLDWIDE ELVIS RCA RCA VINYL facebook page.
