News In Brief... New Elvis photos, Beatles tapes on hold, DC5 catalog returns

The King Lives! Or his image does, anyway, what with the recent discovery of several previously lost 1972 tour snapshots of Elvis Presley taken by Madison Square Garden photog George Kalinsky. He discovered them after a billboard company asked him to dig into the archives for a series of Times Square billboards they were developing entitled "Great Moments In New York." Elvis Presley Enterprises asked Kalinsky, the Garden's official photographer, for more, and he responded with 40 high-quality shots of Presley on stage at the June 10, 1972 show, in all his bejumpsuited glory... Those supposedly unreleased Star Club tapes from the Beatles own glory days in Hamburg will be on the shelf for a while longer, as Miami's Fuego entertainment, owner of the tapes, has agreed not to release them until a federal court can decide on their legality. "This is an injunction that was agreed to by our clients with no admission of liability," said Fuego's lawyer, "to give the court time to consider the parties' claims regarding the ownership interests in these recordings." Apple has claimed that the 1962 tapes were bootlegged from a concert without the lads' permission and are therefore the group's property... Meanwhile, The Dave Clark Five, fresh off their long-awaited induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, have made plans to release all of their back catalog on CD. This is the first digital release for many of the British Invasion superstars' 23 albums; so far, only two greatest hits collections have been made available. Clark himself, always a savvy businessman, claims that "three of the majors and a few retailers" will have packages out beginning this fall.
