Derann did indeed have the rights to "Blue Hawaii" - "G.I. Blues" - "Paradise Hawaiian Style" - "King Creole" (B/W) and in the same deal was "Last Train From Gunhill". Derek once told me that he thought that his colour prints were pretty crappy (owing to masters given) but sold shed loads of them, this was the mid 1970's, they were Elvis, and they were F/L (a real novelty for the time on super 8). The best of the Elvis features really was "King Creole" being on B/W stock. Out of the colour prints, I thought his best one was "G.I. Blues". They come up occasionally but none of the Derann releases would be on LPP, as I don't think he ever re-printed them in the 80's or 90's. He did find some brand new Viacom prints in the early 90's, these had a Spanish track, and for some reason he had difficulty re-recording them into English, I remember buying my print of "Paradise Hawaiian Style" for about £35 and then sent it to David Locke who re-recorded it into English for me (I still have it to this day, colour has held up well!).
