1493.0. "calling littleton" by AYOV27::KIRKPATRICK () Thu Jan 26 1989 04:47

    Is there anyone there ?
    
    I have a colleague who is visiting Littleton (LKG1) for a week, beginning
    6-Feb-1989. 
    Is there anyone from that location who could do me a favour and
    purchase a couple CDs to give to my friend who would reimburse.
    
    Thanks,

    Hi, I'm in LKG, and would be willing to try and find them
    for you. If they are available through Noteworthy, I may
    even force myself to place an order, which would be a few
    $ less. Let me know what they are, and if you want me to 
    get them. I am at DTN 226-7216, if your friend wants to
    give me a call, when here.

    Thanks Wayne,
    
    The reason for buying in the States is the price.
    
    Can you possibly tell me the price of .... 
      
      The Beatles   - White Album (2 CD)
      Neil Diamond  - You Don't Bring Me Flowers
      Neil Diamond  - Glad You're Here With Me Tonight
      Elvis Presley - The Memphis Record
      Elvis Presley - Aloha From Hawaii
      Ringo Starr   - Blast From The Past
                                                    
                                 .... and I can both
    decide which two I want (afford), and arrange the
    cash.                            
    
    Regards,

1493.3"Aloha" is differentFOOZLE::GOSSELINKen...AET1-2/8...240-6570Fri Jan 27 1989 09:2124
    Ian,
    
     Just wanted to let you know that Presley's "Aloha From Hawaii"
    is not available on CD. What has been released is "Alternate Aloha"
    - this is the concert recorded the night before the actual broadcast.
    It's basically the same concert, except for one or two songs (can't
    remember which) and the addition of some studio songs at the end
    of the disc (includes some banter between Elvis and staff that's
    interesting).
    
     "Alternate Aloha" has existed for years as a fan club bootleg,
    and has been considered the definitive "Aloha" performance. Dunno
    why RCA chose to release it rather than "Aloha From Hawaii" - maybe
    to pump up sales, or they may have had a problem transcribing it
    to disc - if memory serves, it was the first "Quad" recording released.
    
     I believe I spent ~$10 for "AA" on sale - my guess is Noteworthy
    would ask $12 or less for it............

1493.5CD is availableCSCMA::J_CLARKFri Jan 27 1989 12:066
  I bought a copy of Aloha from Hawaii at Rock n Mania in Framingham.
It is a Japanese import. Cost around $28. Sound is good. The lyrics
are in Japanese.

    RE: .5
    
     Thanks for the info - I was unaware of a Japanese import of "Aloha
    From Hawaii." $28 is a bit steep - but I'd love to hear it in
    comparison to "Alternate Aloha." Is it on 1 or 2 discs? Has the
    playing time been shortened?

    Thanks for the info.
    
    On the subject of Mr. Presley ...
    
    I think that "Aloha from Hawaii" is released on CD in the UK,
    I'll find out.
    If anyone copied the CD catalogue from HLPG10 (Netherlands)
    there are two "Aloha" CDs listed. One titled "Aloha from
    Hawaii" and the other "Alternate Aloha".
    
    For future reference - got a query on the Presley Sun 
    recordings.
    I've seen a 17 track compilation "The Sun Collection"
    (includes 2 versions of "I love you because), and another
    compilation "The Sun Sessions CD" with the 17 tracks
    on the "Collection" pluse outtakes and more alternate
    versions. The question is -  does the "Sun Sessions CD" 
    fully cover the Sun recordings sessions? 
                       
    Thanks,
    
    Ian K.

    The "Complete Sun Sessions" CD should be a superset of the 17-cut
    configuration.  In fact, the first 17 cuts of the CD should match
    the contents of the other collection (but not the order).  The
    essential cuts are the first 10, which are the 5 singles released
    by Sun (IMO).  And, yes, the CD is as complete as you're ever likely
    to find; I doubt even the bootlegs are that complete.  (And you
    know someone will correct me if I'm wrong...)   - Jay

    The Elvis Presley - Aloha from Hawaii CD is available in the UK.
    I didn't see it so I don't know the content.
    
    number PD82642
    
    The UK prices are steep 11.99 pounds equals 21 dollars.
