Elvis Brothers Wanted

If anyone has any copies of their extended 12 inches from their "Movin Up" and "Adventure Time" albums it would be greatly appreciated if someone can post these 12 inches.Looking for in particular the songs Fire In The City,Hidden In A Heartbeat,and whatever else was available as an extended 12 inch by them.Thanks.

Are you asking IF they actually exist, or do you know for sure that they do? The reason I ask is I personally have never seen these, and don't know what the reason would be for a pop band like the Elvis Brothers. I like 'em a lot but can't see a 12-inch remix for "Hidden in a Heartbeat." Usually that stuff is left for dance crap.

Thanks for asking Lash.The reason for the post was because I know at least one time,years ago I did see a 12 inch for Fire In The City in some used record store,and I'm pretty sure that it was an extended version of the song.

I think I have a 12" of Fire In the City, don't know if it was extended or remix version, I think it just may be an album version.
I'll have to dig it up and check when I get a chance.

I love the Elvis Brothers and just recently found on Soulseek an album called "Not The Be@tles - Fast, Groovy & Traz", pretty cool, didn't know it existed, anyone have any info on it? It says Promo Only

Not The Be@tles was a cover band that featured Graham and Brad from the Elvis Brothers. They were around 5 or 6 years ago I reckon. Did Beatles and other British invasion tunes. Also in the band was Phil Angotti of a nifty power pop band called The Idea. They were quite good actually. Especially considering it was just a side project done for laughs.

Thanks for the info SubMasCon[:)]

newwavepopman: I do have the Fire In The City 12" on Portrait (Promo)but unfortunately, no extended mixes. One side has "Fire In The City", the other has "Here We Go Again".


I saw these guys as well back in the 80's and they were awesome. I have all of their CD's and will post a few soon![:D][:D]

As a side note, Brad the drummer went on to form Big Hello. A real fun female fronted band. Think Cheap Trick meets Blondie. Their stuff is definitely worth tracking down.
