And I agree, it's truly amazing how many new releases we get from FTD each year. And it never seems to stop, either :-) 35 years after his death, it's still great times to be an Elvis fan!Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05253626531289651309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509925059046197667.post-15535153820175957122012-07-29T22:38:07.230+02:002012-07-29T22:38:07.230+02:00An OUTSTANDING essay all the way around my friend!...An OUTSTANDING essay all the way around my friend!! I couldn't wait to read each part of your article and you certainly didn't disappoint! No wonder they wanted to use it for their magazine! You have pretty much nailed the whole concept of the FTD label with your writing, including the often maligned comments that come in from the fans who are disgruntled with what FTD occasionally puts out (and yes, I am one of those fans too!)<br /><br />But in the end, the fact is that regardless of the little things that us fans find wrong, like poorly mixed audio or bland artwork, the fact is that us fans are treated annually to new recordings from an artist who hasn't recorded anything new in almost 35 years!! And, regardless of what some fans may find wrong with a particular FTD release, the fact is that it could be a whole lot worse and all Elvis fans need to be eternally grateful to Ernst and his crew for what they have done with the FTD label and the entire Elvis catalog in general.<br /><br />Kudos to you my friend for truly realizing that with your amazing essay!! As someone who occasionally dabbles in writing reviews for some Elvis websites, I could have never come up with anything so succinct as your article!! Well done!!<br /><br />TCB!<br />MikeMike Hermenetnoreply@blogger.com
