A quick heads-up on the awaited pre-order for Elvis Presley's The Complete Masters box set: just got word from Legacy that the pre-order date is now August 2 rather than tomorrow. A track list will be available when it's up. Rest easy, friends - this is still happening!
Elvis is Alive...Sort of
Mike Duquette
Mike Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he was a teenager. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.
Thanks for the info Mike. Did your contacts at Legacy mention a ball park price for the Elvis' box?
On the SH Forums, member MEMPHIS SUN posted a link to a presser that is set for Aug. 14th where Ernst Mikal Jorgensen is supposed to discuss the set. Maybe Aug. 2nd is postponed again? I can't see why they'd put it up for pre-order before the presser.
