Vom Verlag "a360Media" erscheint am 12.03.2024 das 100 Seiten starke Magazin "Elvis: '68 Comeback Special - A 55th Anniversary Celebration".
Ankündigung:
"For the first decade of the rock 'n' roll era, Elvis was unrivaled in fame, fortune, and importance. He was a sensation with virtually no precedent, but following a stint in the Army just when he was peaking, the focus of his career shifted from making dangerous music to mass-producing safe movies.
Then came the TV event that we now know as the “’68 Comeback Special.” It was originally supposed to be an hour-long ode to Christmas. What it became instead was a showcase for the power of Elvis—a rocket that not only launched Presley back onto the charts, but also fueled the rest of his life.
This is the story of that showcase—a mid-career milestone that mirrored Elvis’ miraculous rise to the top by breaking rules and rattling expectations."

"Das Cover zu Elvis Presleys Debüt ist spätestens seit "London Calling" von The Clash eines der am häufigsten zitierten Plattencover der Rockgeschichte – aber beileibe kein Einzelfall. Deshalb widmen wir die Titelstory unserer neuen Ausgabe all den "Cover-Covern", die es gibt: von den vielen Beatles-Motiven, an denen sich so unterschiedliche Künstler wie Frank Zappa, Red Hot Chili Peppers oder Bläck Fööss bedient haben, bis zu genialen, aber kaum bekannten Paarungen - und auch dem ein oder anderen dreisten Plagiat. Denn das Prinzip der Popkultur macht auch vor der Verpackung von Musik nicht halt: Es wird zitiert, gesampelt und nach Inspiration gesucht. Über 50 besondere Hommagen stellen wir in Bild und Text vor.
Außerdem in Ausgabe 66: Wir besuchen das Label Supreme Chaos im Tecklenburger Land, das mit seinen aufwändigen Vinyl-Boxsets buchstäblich ans Limit geht - und gleichzeitig ein soziales Projekt in der Umgebung unterstützt. Gemeinnützig ist auch der Rock Store Markt Schaben im Münchner Umland aufgestellt: Als Non-Profit-Plattenladen geht es dem Betreiber nicht um Gewinnmaximierung, sondern darum, möglichst vielen Gleichgesinnten einen Zugang zur Welt des Vinyls zu ermöglichen. So einen Shop kann eben nur ein Plattenfreak führen, wie wir vor Ort festgestellt haben.
In der Master Class widmen wir uns diesmal mit "Switched-On Bach" von Walter alias Wendy Carlos einem visionären Werk der elektronischen Musik, und für den Soundtrack Of My Life geht Kiss-Gitarrist Ace Frehley vor seinem ewigen Idol Jimi Hendrix in die Knie - in Form einer Liebeserklärung an "Electric Ladyland". Wir entschlüsseln das Plattencover des Eagles-Klassikers "Hotel California" und nehmen mit Abwärts-Chef Frank Z. Abschied von einer deutschen Punk-Legende. Dazu kommen über 90 Vinyl-Reviews, HiFi-Tests und vieles mehr."

Für den Dezember 2024 kündigt David Stanley, Stiefbruder von Elvis Presley, die Veröffentlichung seines neuen Buches "Surviving Elvis"an und dieses wird wie folgt angekündigt:
"The new book is the true story of my life after Elvis. The book features insights on what really caused Elvis’s death in August of 1977. It reveals the facts about the Doctors who killed him and the controversy that followed concerning the official cause of his death.
The book also puts attention on the book 'Elvis: What Happened' written and released in 1977 by three of Elvis former bodyguards. It was this book that crushed him and had a direct impact on his untimely death.
In addition 'Surviving Elvis' will cover Priscilla’s role in Elvis life both then and now. It also examines the media frenzy that followed Elvis death and the lies that were told and published by several members of the so called Memphis Mafia.
Lisa Marie and her relationship with both Elvis and Priscilla is also a focus in 'Surviving Elvis'. The book begins with Lisa passing and the profound effects that rippled throughout the world and family as a result of that dreadful day.
'Surviving Elvis' is this and much much more. It is a book thats both brash and unapologetic. It is a book that reveals Elvis’s tormented soul and addresses the demons that drove him to an early grave. It is the unbridled truth that the world of Elvis is so desperately seeking and to this day has been denied.
Written with compassion for Elvis, 'Surviving Elvis' is not a tell all exposé of the king's life. It is the story that David lived and helplessly experienced first-hand and through his faith barely survived."
