Here is a music sample from the set:

Cancelled!

Production costs turned out to be too high compared to the demand on the box set, making the release too economically challenging to make. Lets hope this music finds a way out at some other point.

Dradco will release a 6 CD set in 2018 to commemorate the 20th anniversary since Jimmy’s passing. It will focus on his early years before he became the masked singer Orion. All songs in superb quality, unreleased material from Los Angeles in ’75, unrelesased home recordings and soundboard.

The Dan Lentino Management Group in Las Vegas is honoring Orion / Jimmy Ellis posthumously with a lifetime achievement award. It will be presented at this years Las Vegas Elvis Fest at the LVH formerly the Las Vegas Hilton on July 11th.

Jimmy Fallon made a mention of Orion and played snippets of «Washing Machine» on his show Monday, April 7, 2014. The crew had also made a pretty decent copy of the blue mask Orion wore on the «Reborn» album. It was part of a comedy sketch with artists ‘not to play’. As they say – all PR is good PR! 🙂

There is a new film about Orion being made by the talented moviemaker from England, Jeanie Finlay. Here is what the website says:

ORION: The Man Who Would Be King tells the story of Jimmy Ellis – an unknown singer plucked from obscurity and thrust into the spotlight as part of a crazy scheme that had him masquerade as Elvis back from the grave. 

With an outlandish fictional identity torn from the pages of a pulp novel, the backing of the legendary birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll Sun Records and a voice that seemed to be the very twin of Presley’s himself, the scheme – concocted in the months after Presley’s death exploded into a cult success – and the “Elvis is alive” myth began.
