Elvis Presley and the, "My Happiness" Acetate,. 2009.


Thanks to the good ol' telephone I was able to speak to Ed Leek (See below) last night for about 20 minutes.

He is bravely facing serious medication and is confident and upbeat about it all.


Ed is a very articulate man and it's a pleasure to listen to him talk about life in general, world wars and the propaganda about them. Hollywoods over the top portrayal of the conflicts and family, travel, and of course the acetate recording by Elvis that he is eager to find a good home for.
The advertisement for the, Elvis Presley in Concert, event appeared in "The Irish Times" newspaper some weeks ago. The ground-breaking concert was first seen in Memphis 1997 and has toured the world since.
It will be back in Ireland March 2010.
