Ron Lipe aka "Uncle Buck" interviewed Elvis for a local radiostation in
Belleville when Elvis performed in St. Louis on March 29th 1957.
Ron recorded the (10 minutes) interview but it was never released.

Anyhow, I have the contact details of his son who owns the tape.
He also told me that he might make copies one day, so it would be
nice if Ernst Jorgensen could release this interview on FTD, because
so very few live recordings from 1957 does exist.

Below a picture of Uncle Buck interviewing Elvis.
If you look closely, you can also see the tape recorder.

So that´s something "new" that has been found...thank you E-Cat for that info. What do you think is in the hands of private collectors? I mean ,for instance, I see all this DVDs with third generation copies of 8mm Films of Elvis which were filmed on video from 8mm projections and then transfered to digital medium. Someone has the orginal 8mm films..if they were digitalised like praytome have done with some films, we would have much better material. And there could be some tapes, even SB-recordings in private hands, or don`t you think so? What`S with the big collectors ? What is known about what they have in store?

I hope it's okay (for now) that I narrow my reply down to the 50's. Anyhow, without being complete, this is what I know what has not been released:

- unedited April 57 footage (as partly shown in This is Elvis). I talked with Chuck Staley about this a few months ago and he is considering to release the unedited footage. Owned by Chuck Staley - to be released.

-footage as shot by the Los Angeles Police Department - LAPD (Oct'57). A part of it survived in poor quality. Private Hands

- unedited Army footage of his Army induction (March 23 '58), Brooklyn Press conference, boarding the USS Randall, arrival in Bremen etc. This was scheduled to be released last August during Elvis week but the new release date is set for this summer and will be part of a combined book / dvd release). The footage will be licensed for this project.

- Army footage by local media (Ray Barracks Oct' 58, Ray Barracks Open House April '59, Grafenwhör 1960), footage by Paramount crew Aug' 59 Goethestr (when Hall Wallis arrived and visited Elvis in Bad Nauheim). Status: unreleased / partially in private hands

But really I am not a private colletor or an expert of unreleased footage, so I can only share what I know.

E-cat,..thanks for your input,...I have contacted Ernst about it,...let`s see what happens....I keep you informed.

die problematik ist natürlich grundsätzlich was sollte ernst für ein interesse haben solche infos rauszugeben ...deshalb sind die meisten sachen mit vorsicht zu geniessen ...
und für eben jene haltung habe ich verständniss

also in unserem leben wird es keine reale knappheit geben...

und ausserdem sind die sachen die bmg nicht hat in sammlerhände ...da gibt es ne ganze szene...so wie bei den orgi items sammlern ....oder den foto sammlern....

ich würde mir mal keine sorgen machen...
und das es geht zur neige dingen höre ich schon seid 15 jahren...

einzig allein der bootleg bereich ist ein wenig ausgetrocknet...deshalb wird ja auch jeder scheiss geklaut un wieder vö im augenblick...

was aber auch nicht an mangelnder verfügbarkeit liegt...
sonder die automatismen des marktes verschulden das...was auch ein grund für die teils mangelhafte qualli ist...
aber wie willst du es auch machen markt würde systematisch kaputt gemacht...

Kann man Ernst mal fragen ob es nicht eine Möglichkeit über FTD gibt die TTWII und EOT Sachen mal als Sammler-DVDs rauszubringen? Irgendwer muss da doch mal was machen, er könnte das vielleicht unterstützen, dass es einmal soweit kommt...
