You should have added my Italian Jailhouse Rock single to your article.

Great items - Love this type of stuff.

Could you tell me where the Electo-Voice and Lancer discs are from?
Are they promotional items?

Thanks
Harry

yes it is.

Less than a week ago my friend from the old fecc days James V Roy, through
Ben, got back in touch with me after we had lost touch for about 2 years.
Back then, he and I ran 'Echoes Of The Past' for quite some time on fecc.
Thanks to some jack offs torpedoing my work : Pep would constantly delete
my posts when I got into arguments with the nasties. He would always
take sides with those who thought they could better me...and after a reasonable
long time , both James and I had our fill of the crap way we were treated on fecc.
I left there for good, while James continued working on his Scotty Moore site.

James, who recently found out I was continuing my love for the old days here on Monkey, has returned a large portion of the scans, from our 'Echoes days'.
There's too much good material to be left untouched.
So Ive decided to run them again ( for many here it will be new...) as a little extra
treat on the side,while saving my thoughts and energy for the regular bigger topics.

It's for free... enjoy the young Elvis... in days when all was kool.

Glad to hear this Ger. There was so much new stuff in that thread and I missed most of it as that's when I was banned.

Nice one Ger, nearly all of that was new to me too. He looked simply amazing in some of those shots.
Glad you can share it with us and why anyone would torpedo your stuff is frankly beyond me.

Great stuff, Ger !

Thanks !

Ger Rijff · **Joined:** Sat Aug 28, 2010 11:55 am **Posts:** 4363

Thank you all kindly!
While I was thinking all the while- since yesterday- I would be
getting mostly "Ive seen them before on fecc, long ago!"

I wonder if my ol' friend the mad medic remembers them?
He was like a sticky pasted to our Echoes topic(s) at the time.
Is it as good for you as it is to me seeing them photos back
on this forum, doc? You're comments are welcome here. We love
you all very much.

Hi Johnny, how's it going. I told you long ago there would be a backlash against you.

I checked this thread out earlier today, and I had a great time! Many thanks for sharing these gems!

For some reason I have a softspot for the on location pics from King Creole, with Carolyn Jones. I have no idea where this fascination came from. Btw, also some color pics exist, which are great too.

I wondered about these. Thanks for the info!
Can Lancer and Electro Voice be compared to HMV in England?

In the 70's and 80's Bruce Springsteen used to end a lot of his shows with his yell "I'mmmmmm just a prisoneeeeeeeer, of Rock and Roooooooooll". Now I know where he got that from!

Anybody have a clear pic of the shirt he's wearing here?

Ger, thanks for resurrecting your "Echoes from the Past" material. Loved seeing it then on FECC and love seeing it now.

jwdt1 · **Posted:** Wed Oct 05, 2011 5:49 pm

Ger, fantastic. Great pictures and all new to me.

For those of you, who like me, won't be bothered buying the 2 new
photobooks from Norway, some FREE candy from both Jailhouse Rock
and King Creole put up here a while ago. And there's more stuff
from both movies in this section available, if you wanna dig into the
many rare topics featured...It's worth a look!
Enjoy.
