Here is a new book every Elvis fan is sure to love.

The Genuine Elvis: Photos and Untold Stories About the King -- Untold stories, previously unpublished photography, and personal memories fill the pages of this ultimate tribute to the king of rock 'n' roll. From anecdotes about Elvis' high-school years from pal Jimmy Angel to the personal memories of Elvis' best friend, Jerry Schilling, about the Christmas of 1975 and Elvis' cousin Edie Hand's childhood memories of their summertime family reunions, this book is a must-have for fans and collectors of Elvis memorabilia.

This collection features contributions from Elvis' friends and family members, country music star Ronnie McDowell's original paintings, and dozens of remarkable pictures by Al Wertheimer.

Highlights include the entries from Pat Boone; Louise Smith, widow of Elvis' cousin Gene; ...

.... and the never-before-told story of the exclusive 1956 interview disc jockey Charles Watts recorded with Elvis and his mother, Gladys, and father, Vernon.

'The coupling of Ronnie McDowell's great paintings with an insider's delightful stories about Elvis makes The Genuine Elvis a magic combination' --- Dick Clark, American Bandstand

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.
