The no flag splatter vinyl. , tri color vinyl and other items?

Yep. Just wanted the single, still waiting.

Had the same problem with the Look Now box of singles last time.

As I suspected this is the bonus clip

Clip already up....don't know if this differs from what will air

The “various release dates” language regarding the 20 volumes gives me some hope that one might be able to purchase them individually. We’ll see.

CNN's Jake Tapper writes about the film in The Atlantic:

his Twitter feed also notes EC's musical and provides a clip of Elvis singing the title track

What a disappointment

You my have better eyesight that me Favehour, but I couldn't see a 'buy the single separately' option - only available in the mega-moolah bundles, or the 300-sold-out-tie-up-with-the-LP. Perhaps I'll buy those underpants instead..... It was originally possible to buy the single on its own, but now ...

Order confirmations from the official site suggest there will be another song on September 11. It's a Friday, so that fits. It's one aspect of the modern world that slightly saddens me - the idea that a 'single', now, simply means a track from the LP that becomes electronically available a few week...

I've never seen a recording of this show, which seems impossible given the venue. Let me know if you come across one!

Funny BA, I bought mine at my local Korvette's too

Yes, depends on when. I heard MAIT first and could tell that something or other was going on, something worth keeping an eye on, and you can just imagine what that made TYM sound like when it arrived. Yikes! Exactly. Liked it when I got it in November 77, but not sure....saw the Saturday Night Live...

Didn't the first song also inlclude a bit of My Blue Heaven?

Plus OGWT was live! A nice performance.

ecis1986.JPG ECIS from June 1986 proposes that three songs were played: Uncomplicated, Tokyo Storm Warning, and I Hope You're Happy Now. I can't imagine they went to Montreux just to lip-sync to three tracks, after all previous and later appearances at the Jazz Festival; all featured full sets ( 19...

As I recall, they only did 3 songs...this one, Tokyo Storm Warning, and maybe I Hope You're Happy? And I think it's Elvis singing live over the album track.

It's not often I disagree with My Legendary Apostle friend but it would have taken a lot to persuade me to go and see EC and ASVO on the same bill - she always came across to me as too classical in her stylings and unable to shake that off to accommodate less than formal classical compositions - un...

This is a really good record!

Is there no footage of him actually winning? Was he on the broadcast? no they only broadcast a few awards, this was a pre-broadcast award. Looked for footage of the acceptance speech, but haven't seen any yet. They have added the red carpet interview to Youtube, though: https://www.youtube.com/watc...

Much better, thanks.

This is a cool idea, I tried listening to it but the reverb employed every time the lyrics are quoted drove me nuts.
