Elvis Presley News Report 2024: July. New 5-CD Box Set & Details Lisa's book and more ELVIS News !! 

Thanks Maggie!! PS: The new (August) video has just been released! So there is some more Elvis News for you. Regards, Emiel

You are welcome Dave!

Christine...that is too much praise... : The Elvis Guru ! :-)))))))))). I am just a fan who enjoys informing the fans, and I happen to have talent (and the time) to make a monthly video. But were would I be without the viewers (the Elvis fans!): No-where. So thank you for your kind words (and spread the word), and I will continue making the videos. Kind regards, Emiel Maier xx

Thank you so much for your very kind (and big!) compliment :-). Thank you for watching and spread the word! Regards, from Utrecht. Emiel Maier.

Thanks a lot UbiQ for your very kind words! Regards, Emiel

Heeeyyy Debbie Price!!! Always nice to read a comment of yours :-). Thanks for your compliment and for your advice concerning the sunglasses. Well, you are not the only one with this suggestion (when you scroll down in the comments section...), and I have made up my mind about it. I WILL keep them in their original form as sunglasses, and I will buy a new manufactured pair and have those converted with prescription glasses. Thanks for watching and please come back next month. All the best (there in Dallas!), and kind regards. Emiel Maier.

....and thank you for watching Theresa Cona... ;-)

So nice to read your reaction :-). For your information, I am not using the photos for the video without your permission. I received photos from other buyers but I am keeping those images private. Maybe - and only maybe! - I will use them in next years t-Shirt campaign (but I haven't made up my mind about that yet). In case I decide to use customer's photos, I will first ask for permission. All the best! Thanks for buying ;-). and enjoy the companionship! Kind regards, Emiel

That is really nice of you Dannie.

Graag gedaan Janneke! Groet, Emiel.

Thanks for your compliment..., and for watching my videos. (Spread the word !) . Kind regards, Emiel Maier (The Netherlands).

I will keep them as sunglasses! You are not the first with this reaction, so that is the overall verdict... Regards! Emiel

Thanks Margaret for your compliment. I appreciate your words. Have a good weekend. Emiel

Thank you Marr! That is so nice of you. (Spread the word to your fellow Elvis friends ;-). Regards, Emiel (...and I am travelling to Memphis in 2027 ! ;-).

Thank you Lyssete, that is so kind of you ;-). emiel x

I will Terry Sawilski. (I have noticed that you are not the first with that advice...: everyone says the same!). Thanks for your comment. Regards, Emiel

Hi KatGirlBlue, Well you are not the first with the advice to keep them as sunglasses. So I will keep them in their original form. The plan is to buy a new pair of Neostyle Nautic 2 sunglasses and have those converted into glasses. I am used to lenses, but lately I am getting tired of them. Especially after a days work - and the heater is on - they are getting 'dry' and the first thing I do when I get home is to put them out of my eyes. My wife says: maybe time has come to start glasses once in a while, and when you go out to a party or so --> wear your lenses! So more or less combining both. But speaking of the original sunglasses. Man..., these are heavy!! I really do not envy Elvis wearing these (back in the 1970s). The seller (Dr.Spectacles in Amsterdam) told me that he current day glasses weigh 1-quarter of the weight of those mineral glasses! www.designer-brillen.com/epages/NeostyleGmbH_Co_KG.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/NeostyleGmbH_Co_KG/Categories/SpecialOffers

@@ElvisPress wow, that doesn't sound comfortable at all, being so heavy! How strong is your prescription? If it's very light, I guess it might not matter, but I have a very strong prescription and could never get used to wearing glasses again. Also with glasses you have no peripheral vision, and that drives me crazy - that's half the field of vision! If the problem is very dry eyes, you should go see your eye doctor and he'll give you special prescription drops to use every morning and night, and your eyes will never be dry again! Those drops are like a miracle, and I only use them at night because I can't really wait the 15 minutes before putting in my contacts in the morning. I don't suppose you need the time to put on your makeup, so it will be easy for you to wait 15 minutes, put in your contacts, and go! He also told me to use a brand of drops with them in, in case they get dry, but that never really happens anymore since I use the prescription drops. I just keep it handy in case it's been very windy, for example. Maybe it's time to see if you should change the type of lenses you wear also. There's so many new types now, and also many doctors say that if you have dry eyes it's best to wear Daily lenses, so at the end of the day you just throw them out - no protein buildup, no chance of irritation or causing dry eyes. I can't wear them because I have extreme astigmatism, but maybe you can. Either way, those prescription drops will make an enormous difference. Wait a minute - isn't this supposed to be about Elvis? OOPS! 😊

Thanks for the advice David! (For your information : I WILL keep them as sunglasses! Everyone says the same! ;-). Regards, Emiel

Thanks JayJay. I am glad to see how you enjoy my work. Regards, Emiel

I will forward your compliment to the graphic designer from Denmark (Jesper Kragh). I too am very impressed (and thankful) for his work. Jesper is a great volunteer who helps me 'building' the channel. All the best! Kind regards, Emiel

1. I will 2. Glad you liked it ;-) 3. I will ;-). Regards, Emiel

With such a surname I HAVE to ask you…, are you by chance family of Ron Tutt (the drummer)? Regards, Emiel PS: thanks for your compliment 😉

@@ElvisPress No I’m not related To Mr. Ed King or Lt Ronnie King , both are real musicians may they Rest In Peace. ,

Thanks for watching Colin! Regards, Emiel

You are welcome Claude! Emiel.

Thanks for your compliment Victoria ;-). So nice to read! Spread the word, and till next month :-). Kind regards, Emiel Maier (The Netherlands)

If Elvis does not want me to have head- and ear pain...I better listen to him! After all..., he is an expert by experience! No, seriously...the thing is really heavy! The plan now is to keep them in their original form, and I buy a pair of newly produced Neostyle Nautic 2 glasses and have those converted into 'normal' glasses. But thanks for the advice ;-). Till next month! Regards, Emiel x

@@ElvisPress 👍🙋🏻

I am buying it too from a local bookshop. (Support your local businesses ! :-)

you are welcome Jenny ;-)

Hola Rose, Para tu información... No he recibido los 10,000 suscriptores, pero es mi objetivo para 2024. Estoy bastante seguro de que alcanzaré ese número, pero fue solo un recordatorio para aquellas personas que no se habían suscrito. ., para PRESIONAR el botón de suscripción! - Estoy esperando con ansias el libro de Lisa. Sólo espero que Riley no lo detecte. ¿Leeremos realmente sobre la relación de Lisa con su madre..., o Riley protege a su abuela omitiendo textos sensibles? Sin embargo, tengo mucha curiosidad por saber qué tiene que contar Lisa. ¡¡¡Gracias por mirar y todo lo mejor!!! Saludos cordiales, Emiel Maier.

@@ElvisPress Hola maravilloso Emiel, muy pronto tendrás ese número de suscriptores y más. Sé que Riley trabajo muy duro en este libro y algo que no podemos negar es que Lisa Marie hablaba con sus hijos sobre Elvis con mucho cariño. No sé que papel tenga Priscilla en el libro, pero en la portada solo aparecen Elvis y Lisa Marie que esto ya te envía señales. En un capítulo Lisa habla de como Priscilla la envío al internado al poco tiempo de la muerte de Elvis, ésto la marco y se sintió muy sola lejos de sus seres queridos. No sé más, pero será importante leer lo que Lisa Marie preparo sin pensar que iba a morir tan pronto. Saludos y un feliz fin de semana!!! 💌💌💌🙏🎨🖌️🏆🎖️🏅🥇🙋🏻‍♂️❤️❤️❤️💌💌💌👏👏👏💌💌💌💕💕💕

drinking straight from the bottle saves you from washing up your glasses... :-).

@@ElvisPress ...🙏very wise words "Confucius Emiel"😉 @btw ⚽️Austria vs Netherlands 3:2...and Austria topped the most difficult EURO 2024 Group 👍👌🇦🇹...it's sensationel!!!

@@haraldtrittner4396 Yeah, true ! Lousy defending by the Dutch and very un-inspired players. I agree, beforehand I thought that France and Netherlands would end as 1 and 2 in the group. But France is very disappointing and your Austrian coach is a very clever guy! So Austria deserves to be on top of the group. But the Dutch are happy to play against Romania in the 8th finals. If we can get the correct mindset into the team, than Romania is a team we can beat. But hey...it is football..., and there is no guarantee! All the best with your Austrian team ;-). (Did you know that Arnautovic speaks Dutch flawlessly !? ) Regards, Emiel

@@haraldtrittner4396 If you beat Turkey, and we beat Romania...we will meet each other (again!) in the quarter finals for a re-match ;-). (Fingers crossed!). Regards, Emiel

​​​​@@ElvisPress...Sorry my friend for the late reply; i was "Johnny Cash Shopping" this Afternoon, because the new "Songwriter" CD/LP with 11 unreleased Songs from 1993 is finally available today (i've bought the DoCD and the Vinyl😉) OMG Emiel, this could be the most "yellow and red Card" Football/Soccer Play in History 😂 LOL Have a nice and relaxed Weekend with your family my friend😉

Hi Mike! My apologies...I say in the video "a viewer with the name of Mark, etc.". This is my fault, because it has to be "a viewer with the name of Mike!!". I was referring to you ;-). Thank you for helping me finding that clip. A lot of viewers are happy to see Baz saying the words that "it is going to happen" ! Kind regards, Emiel Maier.

@@ElvisPress It's no big deal. Glad I could help and you are doing a great job with the Elvis news! 👍👍 I saw on your show that you have a new Elvis sighting portion. About several weeks ago Elvis's granddaughter Finley Lockwood posted a pic on her Instagram storyline of a portrait of Elvis in the Aloha From Hawaii concert in a restaurant in LA that she was at. I wished I had screenshot it but didn't think to. It was cool to see her do that and show her grandfather some love and I thought you would find that interesting.

What a nice story about Finley! (In the meantime I have already received the a considerate amount of entries! All of them are very nice to see. They will be featured in the upcoming videos. So stay tuned! ;-). Thanks Mike! Regards, Emiel

@@mikem957 you can still do it though.

@@katgirlblue Really? How do you recover stories that have ended?

Oh, I love that Dutch saying : " Do not disturb a breeding chicken ". Elvis fans will keep Baz accountable for his sayings. In my view it will happen..., but it could take a few years (as he does not state a timeline). - thanks for your comment and talk soon :-). Regards, Emiel

@@ElvisPress true, I'm sure you'll be the first to inform us ;-) 😉👍🏻

Hi James, I have restricted myself! My videos may not exceed the 20 minutes mark, or else I am afraid I will lose the attention of my viewers. I always try to keep my seperate news items short-and-snappy in order not to lose the attention span. In that respect I am a bit like Tom Parker: "Always try to keep them wanting more..." ;-). Oh, that old carny! - But I take your comment as a compliment! It shows how happy you are with this monthly video of mine. Kind regards, Emiel

Hi, Latest Flame ! 1. Thanks for your compliment. 2 I will ! ;-) 3 Come back next month when I reveal the answer to the trivia question. ;-). Regards, Emiel

@@ElvisPress I intend to 😃 P.s. The Baz new were very exciting to hear. Good news are very rare these days. Best regards from 🇮🇱

Regards back from The Netherlands!

@@ElvisPress ❤️❤️⚡️

thanks for your comment Angel Albizu ;-). Next month the answer to the trivia ;-). See you there! Regards, Emiel.

That's right! Emiel.

Oh Gloria, you MUST have noticed (by the shirt I'm wearing, for example...) that I'm quite vain! So the least thing that I want is to have dents in the sides of my nose! Looking at the comments the most people advice me to keep them as sunglasses, and to buy a new pair of newly produced Neostyle Nautic 2 glasses! Here is the link! www.designer-brillen.com/epages/NeostyleGmbH_Co_KG.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/NeostyleGmbH_Co_KG/Categories/SpecialOffers They are obviously made of a lighter metal and the seller (Dr.Spectacles from Amsterdam) told me that the current glasses are 1-quarter of the weight of the 1970s mineral glasses!! Making them far easier to wear. So that will probably going to be the answer to my question. In hindsight I do not envy Elvis, because his glasses were very heavy! I received your contribution to the Elvis Is Everywhere category! thanks for that. Kind regards, Emiel

@@ElvisPress Okay! So you keep the sunglasses as they are, and get another lighter pair! Good idea!

That sounds like 'Sound Advice'! You are not the first with that solution :-). What a good idea! Thanks for watching and till next month ;-). Kind regards, Emiel xxx

FRM is a Friday Music re-release from 2018, so technically not wrong.

" A dirty mind is a joy forever... " ;-)

@@ElvisPress Sure is :)

Groeten terug vanuit een zonnig Utrecht!

The box-set..., or the book ? ;-)

@@ElvisPress at the moment the box set, but will be ordered the book soon

Hi Jean Michel, I think so too! I have already received some submissions! So I've got things to show in next month's video! Thanks for the idea ;-). Regards, Emiel

Hi Frederic, Thanks for your comment. I do know the Elvis song: "Just a little bit". But to my knowledge there is no Elvis song called; "Just a little bit of blue". Regards, Emiel

You're right Emiel, my mistake. It's "Just A Little Bit Of Green", just like on the cover of the "Back In Memphis" album...

Things have changed drastically since then and contact lenses are very comfortable. I could never go back to wearing prescription glasses. Maybe your doctor was not an expert in fitting, because I'm very hard to fit, and with astigmatism too which complicates things, but have a doc who is a real expert in fitting those with problem eyes. Also there are so many different types now, there is a brand and fit and material for everyone to be as comfortable as not wearing anything at all! If you're used to contacts, you can't get used to prescription glasses again. For one thing, you don't get peripheral vision, and that's very annoying.

Hoi Emo. Dat is Dr.Spectacles: Best Vintage & Collectables Eyewear. Nieuwe Leliestraat 25, 1015 SH, Amsterdam dr-spectacles.com/ (Hij heeft er ook 1 bril van Elton John!)

I do wear them! Go to the trivia part of the video! Regards, Emiel

@@ElvisPress hey Emiel, I have never been able to find that trivia thing - how do you access it?

@@Patracat It is featured 13 minutes and 2 seconds into the video! ;-). Here is the direct link to that spot in the video ;-) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UnfgEpoLfjM.htmlsi=c-9e5BaQziBTIjPH&t=782 Enjoy! Regards, Emiel

What do you mean Paul? Please be a little more specific in your question.

@@ElvisPress sorry mate ,long day ,you did cover it

I don't know as I am not a regular visitor of the Graceland site. But I take your word for it. This 'Elvis Is Everywhere' idea was pitched to me by a viewer, and I thought it was a very creative idea. So that is why I implemented it. I already received photos and I am running this segment as long as the viewers supply me with material. Thanks for your comment and all the best. Kind regards, Emiel Maier.

Can you be a little more specific in your comment Tiffany? What is it exactly what you are trying to say?

Why is it a joke? You're the fucking joke that's for sure.

I personally wouldn't refer to it as a joke, but it certainly wasn't put together the way that many fans (including myself) would've done it.

@@Allen-vl7zq That stuff we al ready have 10 times....

@@tonbruins7335 I wish Sony/RCA would take sometime and do an album that contains some songs the general population did not know Elvis sang. Like the impossible Dream, Good time Charlie got the blues, the last farewell etc. instead of putting out the same songs just mixed them up a bit. I mean Elvis is supposed to have recorded over 600 songs. Surely someone at Song/ RCA could put out an album that No Elvis fan has heard before?? Maybe I am asking for the possible I do not know??

​​@@user-dr2yc1de9edon't be offended, he's right. It's just a moneymaker, nothing else. There's absolutely nothing on this boxset worth buying it. Unless you just want to have it to complete your collection of redundant releases.

I suppose Ernst didn't consider those 13 songs as essential.
