New Jimmy Ellis 6 CD set – cancelled.

Jimmy Ellis - The Early Recordings

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.

Orion mention on «The tonight show with jimmy fallon»

1957662_10152329467603896_3639306272600596627_o

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! 🙂

Back the Orion movie!

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. 

You can see the trailer for the movie and back the project here:
