Elvis Sessions 3 Due In 2004
The JAT book, "Elvis Sessions 3", will now be reased early next year. Joe Tunzi says the information has finally reached the cut off stage and I think everyone will appreciate the reason for the extra time it took to get this project done. There are more than a few surprises, all of which have been supported. I understand the frustration of the many fans who want this book, but once it's out, it's out forever and I have only one chance to make that happen. And I want it to be my best chance. Common sense tells me people understand this. Thanks for your patience.!

Interview with Larry Geller
Elvis always remained Elvis. He always stayed true to his past, his roots, and never attempted to be something he wasn't. He deeply felt he had a lot to offer the world, but was always extremely careful never to preach, or influence the public with his own personal philosophy and religious outlook. He did consider himself blessed, and for a while he wasn't sure just where destiny would lead him. He definitely felt that God had given him the great gift of his voice to use as his instrument for reaching out and inspiring people.

Rubberneckin' Debuts at #13 on World Singles Sales Chart
Rubberneckin' has debuted in the World Singles "Sales" Chart at #13 (with a

based on returns from 22 countries around the world.

Chart Update - Australia
Rubberneckin' dropped to #9 in its 3rd week on the ARIA Singles Chart. It continued to hold the #1 spot on the Dance Chart for the 3rd consecutive week. Elvis 30 #1 Hits continues its run in the Top 50 Albums Chart at #47 (after 38 weeks).

Rubberneckin' Debuts at #1 in USA (Update)
As expected, Rubberneckin' debuted at #1 on this week's Billboard Sales
Chart. Unfortunately, like Elvis vs JXL (also #1 in USA sales), it is
unlikely the single will make much of an impact on the USA chart
"bible", the Billboard Hot 100, as that widely publicised chart is
based on airplay and sales (with airplay being the dominating factor!).
According to Soundscan, the organisation that records sales through the cash
register, the single sold 11,000 in its first week. Last year, Elvis vs
JXL sold 26,500 in its first week at #1.

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.
