Mike Hermenet, who contributed a guest post here on The Mystery Train Blog just a few weeks ago with a very popular review of FTD’s Promised Land, has now offered up another fine piece of writing. This time, he’s guest blogging over at Elvis Today Blog.
After nearly five years, isn’t it about time that the Elvis Today Blog reviewed the Elvis Today album?
Mike has stepped up and done just that. Check it out over on Elvis Today Blog: Bringing It Back.
Fantastic work, Mike.
Elvis Presley sold out the Richmond Coliseum all four times that he appeared there. In 1974, he even did it twice. Tickets for his March 12 show disappeared so quickly that the tour was re-routed to accommodate a second show at the Coliseum on March 18.
The added show is featured on the CD Forty-Eight Hours To Memphis, a new release from Sony’s Follow That Dream collectors label for Elvis fans. More than 37 years after this concert, Elvis has sold out Richmond once again.
Not long after release just weeks ago, Forty-Eight Hours To Memphis: Recorded Live On Stage In Richmond, Virginia – March 18, 1974 sold out and went on backorder status at Elvis Australia‘s Elvis Presley Shop, Graceland’s Shop Elvis, and other retailers.
“Definitely this has been a big seller,” said Elvis Australia’s David Troedson. “[It is] appealing to new buyers, not just those that buy FTD CDs.” He states more copies are already on the way to fill the demand.
