Dixieland Delight

The new FTD - 2CD Set "Dixieland Delight" in front of the mysterious Multimedia-Box-Set "Dixieland Delight" by Bud Glass Productions and Praytome Publishing

Dixieland Delight

The new FTD - 2CD Set "Dixieland Delight" in front of the mysterious Multimedia-Box-Set "Dixieland Delight" by Bud Glass Productions and Praytome Publishing

Details of the Multimedia-Box-Set "Dixieland Delight"

Ernst Jørgensen confirmed that the latest 'Follow That Dream' (FTD) - release called "Dixieland Delight" is ready to be shipped.

So wholesalers and customers can expect to have their copies in the next week while the original release date was scheduled for May 18, 2009.

The FTD-Newsletter mentioned that this 2CD set is released as a joint venture and goes along with the Multimedia-Box-Set by Bud Glass and Praytome Publishing.

This is something that has never done before. We got many requests and received dozens of questions what this Multimedia-Box-Set is all about. Because of the historical importance in the history of the Elvis concerts during the 1970 this five show stand will be presented in a never before done way:

With so many information about the shows and hundreds of different photos that cover the performances, it would not have been fair to squeeze the existing material into a single book with 144 pages. So the production crew came up with the idea of a package that absolutely deserves the expression of “a true collector’s item”:

This Multimedia-Box-Set consists of the following:

  • two great full colour, hardcover books
  • two special 45’s vinyl with never before heard audio
  • a DVD documentary with a running time of more than 3 hours
  • a total of 20 different interview partners and eye-witnesses to this extraordinary event
  • special guest appearances of Sheila Ryan, Donnie Sumner, Charles Stone and others
  • Bonus Audio Disc with never before released material
  • Bonus DVD Disc with unedited footage and extra material
  • Special Memorabilia slide-in module including
  • poster
  • calendar
  • tour paperwork
  • newspaper article reprints
  • collection of buttons that were sold during the Elvis concerts with Huntsville images on display
  • reproduction of the parking ticket
  • reproduction of backstage pass
  • reproduction of the tickets to the 5 individual Huntsville performances
  • a total of 5 unique photos – one from each show being a high quality reprint directly from the negative
  • a placeholder where you can place the 2 CD “Follow That Dream” (FTD) release of “Dixieland Delight”
  • a special plate that identifies the numbered box set of this limited edition release

This box set will be released in a special limited & numbered edition and will be split into 4 separate releases. More information will follow soon …

"Del Webb's Sahara Tahoe" will close its doors forever

The 'Horizon' in Lake Tahoe in 2009

Soon, another part of the Elvis History will be gone.

After the demolition of so many historic places like the 'American Sound Studio', the 'Aladdin' Hotel or lately the New Frontier Hotel, the former Del Webb's Sahara Tahoe now called the 'Horizon' will close its doors forever on June 5, 2009.

At this time there is no specific date for a re-opening or a demolition.

There were rumours for a while that it was planned to close the hotel in 2010 but we just got the sad news from Sue McCasland that they already started to remove the gambling tables and slots.

Sue McCasland & Joseph A. Krein wrote a critically acclaimed, definitive book about the Lake Tahoe engagements of Elvis Presley.

This release does not only feature the Elvis concerts but also gives you a lot of information about the 'Lake Tahoe' and the complete history of the Hotel itself.

It is really sad to hear that this famous building in the Elvis History will soon be no longer there.

The 'Sahara' in Lake Tahoe in 1976

Frontcover of the upcoming book release

While everyone is talking about the recently announced FTD release and the upcoming Multi-Media-Box-Set by Bud Glass Productions and Praytome Publishing, we want to present to you the final artwork for the next Praytome Publishing release:

You are not familiar with the name 'Charles Stone' ? Well, you have heard of Elvis Presley and Colonel Parker, haven't you ?

Charles Stone - Concert West - Management Three - organisation of the tours: these terms all go together, and without them the Elvis Presley Tours in the 70's would not have been the same.

We are happy to announce that Charles Stone has decided to share his memories of his years with Elvis and the Colonel and that he has chosen 'Praytome Publishing' for this project.

Soon you will learn more about the book's content, as well as the release date.

More details about the project "Dixieland Delight" and about what we mean when we talk about a "Multi-Media-Box-Set" will be available next week.

Be sure that you visit our official website, and stay tuned... the next surprise will be announced soon.

Elvis' own record label teams up with Bud Glass Productions & Praytome Publishing

Dixieland Delight

In January 2009 we were able to present you the Teaser-Trailer for "Dixieland Delight". Today we proudly can disclose another secret that goes along with this mamooth project:

After his second engagement in Las Vegas - January 26th through February 23, 1970 - and a record six-performance exclusive engagement at the Astrodome in Houston, Texas - February 27th through March 1, 1970 - Elvis returned to Las Vegas for his third engagement - August 10th through September 7, 1970. This engagement is best known for the filming of the MGM documentary, That's The Way It Is.

Elvis' first concert tour since his comeback to live performing in 1969 began on September 9, 1970, in Phoenix, Arizona. From that time, until his final performance in Indianapolis, Indiana, on June 26, 1977, Huntsville, Alabama was the only time that he ever performed so many consecutive shows in a single stop on any tour. For this reason, we feel that Hunstville is an important part of Elvis History that is unique in Elvis' career.

Once you see the documentary portion of of this multi-media boxset release, you will see other very important reasons why this unique series of performances was so essential in other important ways to Elvis personally, happening at a key point in Elvis' personal life.

With the cooperation of Elvis' own record label (FTD) in a new release of a two-CD Set, which covers several of the Huntsville performances, Bud Glass Productions and Praytome Publishing are making history. In covering this aspect of Elvis' life and career, the Dixieland Delight release will be the most in-depth and documented series of performances in Elvis History.

Follow That Dream, the FTD Label, has released more than eighty CD's to date; and this, in itself, is a record for any major star. Elvis has his own collector's label! FTD's goal has been to provide the fans with products which cover all the major events of Elvis' career. Ernst Jørgensen and Roger Semon strive to make available recordings of every type of event in which Elvis participated, including live tour concerts, Las Vegas Concerts, Lake Tahoe Engagements, studio rehearsals and recording sessions and even home recordings. There have been countless boxsets, such as the "Platinum" - Boxset, the "Today, Tomorrow and Forever" - Boxset and the critically-acclaimed "Complete 50's Masters" Boxset for which they received a Grammy nomination. The Seven-inch Soundtrack and the Classic Re-release Series are some of the most beloved Elvis products they have produced. FTD has now made the decision to make select Elvis releases available on vinyl, and fans are looking forward to that with great anticipation. Ernst Jørgensen''s book publications, like "Elvis - Day By Day" and "A Life in Music - The Complete Recording Sessions" are essential to every Elvis collection.

We are pleased and very honored to be able to work in conjunction with the FTD staff. We look at that cooperation as recognition of the high quality releases by Bud Glass Productions and Praytome Publishing, such as the Elvis - Behind The Image Book - series which focuses mainly on candid photography showing the private life of the greatest entertainer the world has ever known. The famous Elvis On Tour book series has set new standards for live photography, focusing on Elvis' concert appearances in the '70's. Elvis -The Paternity Suit Uncovered is one of the most revealing releases we have published. Our most recent publication, Sue McCasland's World's Best Kept Secret - Elvis Live At Del Webb's Sahara Tahoe sheds light on what was once a 'black hole' in Elvis History.

Praytome Publishing's DVD releases, such as the "Behind The Image" series by Bud Glass features first-hand accounts by Elvis friends, musicians and celebrities from the Elvis World. The 8mm footage - digitally transferred from the original 8mm reels for the first time - provides exceptional quality which is without equal - not just in the Elvis World, but in the entire world. The critically-acclaimed "Elvis - Adrenaline" series focused mainly on Elvis' Las Vegas Engagements and featured full-length documentaries about the specific year topic. Like the "Behind the Image Series," The "Adrenaline" DVD productions are famous for their exclusive footage highlighting the only known existing footage of the '69 Las Vegas Engagement.

With their latest release, the FTD Record Label recognizes these famous concerts in Huntsville for their importance in Elvis History. Please note that this will be a separate release by the FTD Label and not part of the multi-media boxset which will soon be released by Praytome Publishing. We highly recommend the upcoming FTD release, "Dixieland Delight" and suggest that you go now to your FTD dealer to pre-order this fantastic production. When you receive your Praytome Publishing boxset, you will find a space to store the FTD CD.

Over the next several weeks, we recommend that you visit our Praytome Publishing web site often for updated news with details regarding our upcoming boxset release of "Dixieland Delight - A Memorial-Day Weekend With The King." We will soon advise you of the release date of this unique production.
