Pre-order (New special price)

What must it have been like to be on the inside with Elvis Presley?  To be part of his Memphis team?  To be with him in his final hours?  'Elvis Presley - The Last 24 Hours' is probably the nearest we will ever get.
 
The Last 24 Hours reconstructs the final hours of his life and the events that led to his early death- the drugs, the girls, the financial meltdown of an Empire and the pivotal role of Colonel Tom Parker.
 
The story is told by those who knew him the best-. the long-standing friends and confidantes who made up the legendary inner circle known as The Memphis Mafia. 
 
Reunited for the first time since Elvis died in 1977, the seven members of this group now gather to tell their intimate, revealing and amazing stories: Joe Esposito, Elvis' number one aide from 1960 until the time of his death and the man who tried frantically to save the King's life; Presley's hairdresser and spiritual guru Larry Geller who helped prepare the body for internment; Billy Smith, Elvis' cousin and his most trusted friend of all; Lamar Fike, tour manager and the longest serving member of the Memphis Mafia who blames Colonel Parker for Elvis' death; bodyguard Sonny West, who here reveals that it was his job to take the bullet; Jerry Schilling, a close family friend who enjoyed a very special relationship with Priscilla Presley and Marty Lacker, Elvis' best man and guardian of his cash.
 
These are the men who were trusted by Elvis to share his innermost thoughts and secrets and who were at his side on that fateful Tuesday in 1977, when arguably the greatest popular icon and entertainer of the 20th century left the stage for the last time.

As a special bonus, the DVD of 'Elvis Presley - The Last 24 Hours' will also include a free CD featuring the Jordinaires, the group which backed Elvis for over 20 years. The track listing is as follows:

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.
