Aloha und Comeback bald im Fernsehen ?

New One-Hour TV Editions of '68 & Aloha To Be Presented on Some Networks Outside USA 5/6/2005
Knowing some TV networks outside the USA that are airing the Elvis By The Presleys television program would want some additional special Elvis programming to run the same week, we decided to offer new television edits of material from the Elvis '68 Comeback Special and Elvis, Aloha from Hawaii to them. Our agent who has been making the bookings with non-USA television networks indicated that one-hour versions of the '68 and Aloha shows would be ideal. (The hour includes commercial time, so the actual Elvis content for each is around 47 minutes.) Soon, our agent will give us air dates for Elvis By The Presleys in the various countries outside the USA and will indicate which ones also took on the new TV editions of the '68 and Aloha specials. We will post that information the moment we have it.

Anticipating the two most frequently asked questions:

Will the new one-hour TV versions of '68 and Aloha air in the USA? - No, there are no plans for that. Presently, we have an exclusive commitment with CBS with Elvis By The Presleys and cannot do new Elvis television entertainment programming on other networks in America during a certain window of time around the airing of the special. As CBS also has the Elvis mini-series airing during the same period, they have all the Elvis programming they can handle at this time. But, we continue to work on ideas for new American network television presentations of the '68 and Aloha material for later and will let you know what develops. Whether these one-hour versions for the current non-USA opportunity would be the versions to air in America or whether our ideas for something more elaborate will come to pass, we don't know. Right now, having the little one-hour '68 and Aloha programs for networks outside America is a special current opportunity in those countries to promote the '68 and Aloha deluxe DVD sets, to promote Elvis there in general and reach some new audiences with this material, and to make Elvis fans in those countries smile.

Will the new one-hour non-USA TV versions of '68 and Aloha be released on DVD? - No. These are just little TV versions to take advantage of the special opportunity we have for television outside the USA at this time. However, we are working on single-disc DVD releases of '68 and Aloha material for global release later this year, probably sometime in August. The single-disc DVDs are being released in order to reach newer audiences for Elvis who aren't likely to buy the deluxe DVD sets and to have '68 and Aloha DVDs carried by retailers that do not carry releases that exceed a certain price point. We are also planning the content in such a way that fans who have the deluxe sets can look forward to the single-disc releases as well. The content for the new '68 and Aloha single disc DVDs will be announced in the months ahead.

What is the content of the non-USA one-hour TV presentations of '68 and Aloha?:
They are one hour each because that is the time limit given to us with this special television opportunity. Following is a detailed listing of the content of the tapes we prepared. Hopefully, the individual networks will not have to adjust any of it, at least not too much, to accommodate their particular individual programming needs. (You have the content details in advance, so you can give 'em hell if they do!) All of the Aloha material comes from the main concert on January 14, 1973. The source of each performance in the '68 material is indicated in parentheses by each song. All material is adapted from the newly re-mastered and re-edited material from the DVD box sets.

da heißt es nur hoffen, dass auch ein deutscher sender so ein elvis special bringen wird. da bereits werbepausen vorgesehen sind, wird es schon mal KEIN pay tv sein!

Mal wieder alles doppelt kaufen, oder was?

Wir finden: das saugT!

auf der neuen Aloha DVD werden bestimmt die kompletten Introductions vom 14.1. drauf sein

wozu doppelt kaufen ? die dinger werden doch in erster linie für die fernsehsender gemacht, bzw. für den nicht-fan, der sich nicht gleich die deluxe edition kaufen will. wer letztere hat, braucht diese versionen denke ich nicht.

Diese Fernsehedition wird nie erscheinen. Die Rede ist von diesen Singledisc Ausgaben (gleicher Inhalt, eben alles auf einer DVD)...

Ich glaube noch nicht einmal, dass das Zeug rauskommt.
Und schon gar nicht mit unveröffentlichtem Material.

Also: heisse Luft...

wieso steht da mein name ? das hat doch der MIB geschrieben ...

Das heißt dann, dass wegen der Werbeunterbrechungen bei Aloha einige Songs (hauptsächlich Oldies, Welcome To My World) und die Introductions ausgelassen werden, das NBC-Special aber vollkommen neu geschnitten wird. Schade, das Special hätte man eigentlich schön im Original zeigen können.

Die neue, komplette Aloha Version lief Anfang des Jahres auf einem spanischen TV Sender.

Wenn Elvis damals eine als Stern getarnte Webcam an seinem Jumpsuit getragen hat und EPE jetzt das Publikum, Charlie etc. exklusiv aus seiner Sicht präsentiert, dann kaufe ich die Single Disc.
