Hey 👋 Steve I remember having the Paul Lichter book / The Boy Who Dared To Rock as a young kid ! Still a favourite book of mine 😀 .....and looking in ore at all bootlegs in it ... I have qiute a few bootleg albums ...some you showed here ! And some I have never ever seen ! Leane something new every day... Interesting video mate 🥂
Hi, thanks for the bootleg video. I also have the bootlegs shown and many others. unfortunately partly only second or third pressings of the older ones. Have a beautiful Sunday, Greetings from Germany !
I am surprised that I have two bootlegs not in your collection😮. "Rockin' Rebel" and "Viva Las Vegas" which includes all of Ann-margret's solos from the film
Incredible collection! I am always amazed how bootleggers had acess to facilities to manufacture the actual discs and covers so professionally back then. Haha, I am laughing at your story of taking empty suitcases to the States so you could bring them back full of records😂 We did exactly the same thing when we spent 3 months travelling around America by Greyhound. We found the most amazing record shop in Little Rock Arkansas, purely by accident. We got off the bus for a coffee break and saw the record shop when we were walking around the streets. Went in for a quick look, and raced back to the bus to grab our luggage and book into a motel. We spent 3 days there, the record shop had a basement the size of a city block, never seen anything like it. Fortunately my husband had emptied our bank account back home (Australia) and converted it into American Express travellers cheques. We filled our two suitcases, and spent a huge amount having the remainder of the records shipped back home. The owner of the store was very happy to see so much of his old fifites rock'n'roll stuff go out the door! He actually packed them up while we were there, so we could see how well packed they were for the sea voyage to Australia. By the time we got back, they had all arrived safely.
Those were the days👍...my most happiest time ever on Collecting Elvis. I still remember my very first Vinyl Bootleg "Command Performance" with the Invitation card on the Front-Cover in 1978. I was a little bit disappointet about the Sound Quality but so what, i was really happy to own "Something Special". I have a soft spot on the old Vinyl Bootlegs and i'm still collecting these beauties👌 @i guess i have about 150 classic Elvis Vinyl Bootlegs from the 70's and 80's (incl some Reissues too) in my Collection and i love them all🙂
That Rock My Soul LP is as disappointing to listen to as it is to look at. The "live" version of Mystery Train is actually the single version with added applause. Those TV Special sets, on the other hand, are still nice to have even though all the music has since been released officially. Good Rockin' Tonight is a great LP. I bought that in the HMV shop in Leeds! I think your version of the Pittsburgh album is a later version, as the first ones had a white border around the flag design. And the first version of Command Performances came with an invitation card stuck to the front cover. Cheers, Steve.
Thanks David, all of those I bought in Memphis in 84. I don't recall the prices, but maybe if I had left Rock My Soul I would have had the money for Behind Closed Doors! GRRRRR 🤨
Behind closed doors.😍😍my favorite alltime Bootleg box.👍
Don't make me feel worse 😆

There were many bootlegs of varying quality but some gems among them. Favourites are Jailhouse Rock Sessions, Viva Las Vegas and 68' Comeback.
Very nice bootleg vinyl collection!⚡️

It is funny how we all have similar stories 😅 A lot my records bring back memories of places and people.
Great collection Steve.
Thanks so much for doing this video. I have a fair few myself and didn't know too much about them, so this has been a great help.
Luv the show.

Very interesting. I never saw these for sale anywhere.
What's so good about Bootleg albums is that they are only released once and are not re-released
Let’s have a live chat tomora 🤞🏻
Steve, please take this albums out of those sleeves and replace them with, at least, MoFi ones or some type of anti static.
Francesco, I am very lazy 😇 but I will look into it
What is bootleg exactly ???? unofficial albums ???. Thank you for this video...I always learn something with you....
A bootleg was an album that the producer had no rights to release.
@@tcbsince73 Thank you
some of them covers feature probably the worst pictures of Elvis ive ever seen...
Anyway to reach you on email…?
