Elvis Presley Images By Patrick Janssen lives up to its claim as a 'quality Hardcover photobook with a unique collection of 300+ exclusive photos in B/W and color, including more than 250 previously unpublished photos'. The photo's are from the 50's to the 70's. Crystal clear photo's from negatives and transparencies. Included is a limited edition collectors DVD and special bonus photo (not published in the book). The DVD contains some newsreels & some footage of Elvis arriving in Huntsville in 1975. Below you can view some sample images.

Elvis Presley Images Book - bonus DVDIn my opinion, Elvis Presley Images is second only to Elvis '68 at 40 as best book released in the last 12 months! The first thing you notice are the claimed  'Crystal clear photo's'. Plus the book comes with a quality 'bonus' DVD and very nice 14cm (5.5") x 21cm 8.5") photo of Elvis. The DVD contains some good quality army newsreels, 'the wedding', an image gallery and film of Elvis arriving in Huntsville in 1975 - along with the story of the newsmen who managed to be at the airport at 3am when Elvis laned in his 'private' jet and chased him to the hotel.

Blues - Flaming Star - Wild In The Country - Blue Hawaii – Sports - Follow That Dream - More Hollywood! - On Location For Filming Clambake - The Wedding - Speedway - Stay Away Joe - The Comeback Special - Charro!

Elvis Presley Video Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD

Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.

This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.

The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
