Elvis : Born To Rock - New Elvis Book
This time more than 150 pages are waiting for the fan. And again this book is in hard cover and printed on a heavy premium paper with a special print finishing for a higher print quality, longevity and higher impassivity. As customary every single book is shrink wrapped for optimal durability.
More than 170 excellent shots by a professional photographer plus more than 60 candids as a perfect foil to them. The professional shots of three concerts in a breathtaking quality will give you a "first row feeling". The candids complete the historic view with background information, funny or remarkable situations on stage and Elvis off stage in many little occurrences happened around the tour of July 1975. It is a perfect composition to turn back the time and to dip into a period were Elvis rule the world and enthuses the masses.
In 1975 Elvis was not the "Rock 'n' Roll boy" from 1954 any longer, but against all prophecies of doom this book is the evidence, that Elvis Presley was at the top of his career by then. That the former young firebrand has evolved into a man and has become the one and only "King of Entertainment" forever. Through all generations and social levels he has been the undisputable King.
As always Bud Glass has not only searched and compiled the photos. He gives us substantial background knowledge about every single picture, the concerts and the appropriate period of 1975.
'Born To Rock' is the follow up project to the 'Behind The Image' book and DVD's and 'Elvis Adrenaline' DVD by Bud Glass and Praytome Publishing.

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.
