Venus Productions have just released the final volume in the 'Welcome to The Jungle' series titled Hurt. (Following, Solitaire, Never Again, The Last Farewell and Way Down.) As usual, this CD offers you some spectacular recordings from the famous Jungle Room sessions, including some never heard before outtakes. There's no need to brag again about this release being sensational, having a great sound quality or about the beautiful 16 page booklet, because you all knew that on forehand.

Hear how Elvis and his band go from strength to strength on 'I'll Never Fall In Love Again', 'For The Heart' and 'Hurt'. This is a great follow-up to all previous volumes so don't you dare miss it!!!

Review

The Welcome to the Jungle series has been one of the most amazing 'events' in CD releases.

But the latest and last volume really surprised me. Just listening to the undubbed out takes of Hurt in particular, Elvis' performance sounds so much more powerful, like his live performances.

Reading the liner notes, there is a clear distain for the overdubbing done by Felton Jarvis, I decided to do some comparison's and while I often enjoy undubbed tracks I am never of the mindset that they are all wrong, if done well, if the end result is better, then that is good, but listening to even the most recent sound upgrade to Hurt by Sony it sounds muffled and very poor in comparison to what we have on the 'Welcome To The Jungle' : Hurt CD. I chose take 2 for my compilation of a 'new version' of From Elvis Presley Boulevard and as said already, every time I hear Hurt it reminds me of Elvis' live performances - it completely out shines the master.

It is true what they say in the 'press release' ... [Above]

The Complete Louisiana Hayride Archives 1954-1956 CD From MRS : CD / 100 page book

The MRS / JAT Productions release of The Complete Louisiana Hayride Archives 1954-1956 CD is a dream come true but I can't as there was no anticipation something like this would ever be released. For years now we have had the basic el cheapo compilation of the basic tracks but now we have a full CD with a running time of over 75 minutes that gives a very good overview of Elvis in concert in the 1950s. This CD is presented exactly the same as the MRS releases Off Duty With Private Presley Book Deluxe CD set, Tupelo Welcomes Home Elvis Presley Deluxe CD set and Such A Night in Pearl Harbor CD and 100 page Book set.

Video Preview: Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD + 16 page booklet. Never before have we seen an Elvis concert from the 50's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered Unreleased Film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don’t Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. This is an excellent release no fan should be without it. The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people.
