Von Todd Slaughter erscheint am 03.12.2024 das Buch "Elvis, The Colonel And Me - The Elephant In The Room" und dieses wird wie folgt angekündigt:
"With the sub-title The Elephant in the Room the text deals with those urban myths that have devalued Elvis’ legacy whilst looking at both his and the Colonel’s private and professional life stories, and Todd Slaughter’s personal recollections of times spent with them both. It’s a compassionate story which should answer some of those questions which have often puzzled us. "

Paul Belard veröffentlicht das 218 Seiten starke Buch "Elvis 1959: April - May" und kündigt dieses wie folgt an:
"Early in March 1959, while serving in Germany, Elvis bought a guitar and rented a piano and relaxed at home while on leave, playing both instruments, listening to records and reading fan mail. On April 10, in celebration of the eighteenth anniversary of the 3rd Armored Division, an open house took place at his base. He was involved in guiding visitors.
Early in May, an extensive photo shoot took place in Frankfurt. Several of the pictures will be used on forthcoming record sleeves. Close to 220 pages, the book is chock-full of rare and not so rare pictures, all of them retracing his life during these two months."

ISBN: 9798338235423 Alan Tranter ("Shake, Rattle And Blue Moon: The Formative Recordings Of Elvis Presley 1953 - 1960") veröffentlicht am 30.09.2024 das 268 Seiten umfassende Buch "Riding A Rainbow: The Recordings Of Elvis Presley 1960 - 1968" und dieses wird wie folgt angekündigt:
"Following on from Shake, Ratttle & Blue Moon: The Formative Recordings of Elvis Presley 1953 -1960, this volume picks up following the recording of Elvis Is Back, just as Elvis, under the guidance of his manager, falls into a routine of light musical comedies, when artistry and invention fell mostly by the wayside.
This is a chronicle of how Elvis journeyed from the triumph of his first post-Army album to a point when he took back his identity, laying the foundations for what would be forever regarded as his Comeback in 1968."

John Townson und Gordon Minto kündigen für den Sommer 2024 das 228seitige Buch "Elvis UK 78 r.p.m.: The Ultimate Guide To Elvis Presley’s British 78s 1956 - 1960" an und dieses wird wie folgt beworben:
"This soft-backed, newly-written, 228-page book, follows on from our highly successful previous publications in the 'Elvis UK' series, each of them acclaimed and much sought-after by collectors, and provides the ultimate guide to Elvis’s 78rpm releases issued in the U.K. between 1956-1960.
This new volume re-examines in scrupulous detail - and extends considerably - information relating to 78rpm releases included in our original book 'Elvis UK', published in 1987.
It includes a history of both the HMV and RCA releases, and alsoprovides a context for the 1950s pop scene. The book details the history of 78rpm releases in the U.K. generally, their popularityand importance as well as chronicling their subsequent (and rapid) fall from favor.
The boom discusses each 78rpm release individually, offering a detailed and forensic commentary on every release, while the extensive text is amply illustrated with scans of every known label and sleeve variation, relevant photographs, and scans of contemporaneous newspaper and magazine articles and adverts. It is extensively illustrated in full colour throughout, including a variety of images of Elvis himself and much more. "
