March 04 - This Is ... Out

The Follow That Dream Collectors label re-issue of the "This Is Elvis" soundtrack has been released. It contains the original 1980 soundtrack album on CD 1 and the expanded home video tracks on CD 2.

Unfortunately this release by the collectors label contains a few errors too:
CD 1 - 11: On cover and booklet is listed "Don't Be Cruel (September 9, 1956. "The Ed Sullivan Show")", but the correct date is January 6, 1957! 
CD 1 - 24: "Suspicious Minds" ist listed as "That's The Way It Is" version (August 12, 1970 midnight show ), but it is the version from January 14, 1973 "Aloha From Hawaii". 
CD 2 - 02: "Hound Dog" is listed as version from July 1, 1956 "The Steve Allen Show", but it is the Milton Berle Show version from CD 1 without overdubs. Because of this the song "Hound Dog" from the Steve Allan Show is missing here, although this version was in in the movie 

CD 2 - 15: Trouble / Guitar Man Medley isn't the edited shortened version (02:19) as stated on the cover. it is the original version with a running time of 03:27.
