"Early Elvis: The
Humes Years is one of three Elvis books that every fan should own." --
London (UK) Sunday Times, 1992
Bill Burk's Early Elvis trilogy are among the most
critically acclaimed books on Elvis ever published. The thorough
research and detail included means they provide a previously missing insight
into who Elvis was during his formative and school years. Based on Bill
Burk's decades of investigative journalism and his interviews with scores of
people who knew Elvis and his family, the Early Elvis trilogy is an essential
inclusion in any serious library of Elvis books. They provide readers with
a picture of the real Elvis Presley, a person often quite different from the
portrait presented in mainstream biographies.
As a measure of the
importance of the Early Elvis trilogy, The Tupelo Years and The Humes Years are
both ranked in the 'Top 40 Elvis Books of All-Time' in the major bibliographic
source 'Elvis In Print: The Definitive Reference and Price Guide'.
Available to Pre-order from Elvis Australia along with the other books in the "Early Elvis" trilogy -- "Tupelo Years" and "Sun Years".

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.
