thanks to all - as I suspected, footage is hard to find. I have a clipping of him singing "Cowpoke" from one of his films and I also have his film of "Laramie" in which he sings "Chime Bells" and "Molly Darling".

Regarding digital format reissues, I have produced 3 CDs for the UK-based Jasmine label. 2 are lready available, titled "Country Music's Yodelling Cowboy Crooner Vols 1 and 2", the third is a duet album with Rosalie Allen which has been mastered but not yet released. You can find Jasmine on www.jasmine-records.co.uk RCA/BMG did a fine CD called "The RCA Years" and the British Archive Of Country Music (BACM label) have some out as well.

Does anyone have a copy of the Jimmy Dean show on which Elton appeared in 1965? Even an amateur film of him on stage would be great to see. The famous collector / artiste Don Cleary once invited me to see the film of a show he recorded of Elton but Don passed away before we could do it.


Thanks
