Working On The Building

Time to work on this blog again. But first, some personal information...

I'm Dutch, from 1965 (maybe Elvis' worst year, music wise?) and Elvis fan from 1974 onwards. From that year on I started collecting about everything I could find about Elvis in The Netherlands. Books, magazines, records etc. I continued with that uptill appr. 2011 when some things happened in my life which made me decide to A) remain an Elvis fan B) sell my entire collection. I simply needed the money for personal reasons and the Elvis world became more and more expensive. Being a single guy it was no problem buying 10 Bootlegs every month, being a married guy with 2 daughters and a house owner it was becoming a problem more and more to keep up with all releases.

So I cleaned up my entire Elvis room and ended up with....nothing.
Well, nothing physical it was, the room was empty, but the PC wasn't. 

When selling the collection I decided to digitalise as much as I could. Me ending up ripping and scanning thousands off CD's, vinyl records, magazines and books. With that I got help from 3-4 very close friends - also Elvis fans - who made their own collection available for me also.

At this moment (April 2023) I have some 800 vinyl releases, 200 books, 700 CD-R only releases, 5000 CD releases, 500 DVD's, 600 magazines and loads off other stuff as digital items in my PC and various HD's.

All vinyl and CD releases are available in WAV or FLAC; I don't collect MP3 files....

Time to share.....

All items shown here are my own scans or rips or scanned and ripped by some good friends. Nothing is taken from other blogs or websites. Maybe we all should do that this way....

Please excuse me for being not 100% accurate with the English language. I'll try my best, as you would do when trying to speak and write Dutch.....
