Review : Adios Huntsville CD

Adios Huntsville is another quality production, containing an unreleased show from this period.

Review | Elvis On Tour '75 Book by Sandi Pichon

Elvis On Tour '75 is a book for fans prepared by a fan. It outshines many of the more commercially produced efforts in both quality of printing and binding as in photographic content. It is large-format book and the photos are all excellently reproduced and beautifully printed on high quality paper. The sequences of photos provide an idea of the dynamic nature of Elvis' show. Believe me, Elvis Presley 1970's concert fans will not wish to miss out on 'Elvis On Tour '75'.

Review : Elvis Presley Paternity Suit Book DVD by Jayson Mailee

Review of Elvis Presley - Paternity Suit. Mr. Glass's research is well documented and presented in a sequential order.

A personal Presley pilgrimage

THERE'S a saying in the Elvis world which goes: If you're an Elvis fan, no explanation is necessary. If you're not, no explanation is possible. How do I know this? I am an Elvis fan. There was a time when people like me felt trepidation about admitting such a thing. After all, Elvis and his fans had been the subject of scorn for so many years, that we sometimes felt ostracised by others who were into 'cooler' music.
