Synopsis

It starts in 1969 - 50 years ago - when Elvis was re-discovering himself as an artist, after years in the Hollywood wilderness. He had just performed the 68 comeback special - showing that he was still able to excite as a performer. However 1969 was crucial to prove that Elvis was not a golden oldies act, but in fact a contemporary artist and still a relevant chart force. The book looks at those essential 1969 Memphis recordings, it looks at Elvis' majestic return to the live stage, and the huge concerts at Madison Square Garden and the Aloha Satellite Show from Hawaii. Although many of Elvis' countless solid gold hits feature in the book, the author is also keen to explore the lesser known album tracks - all of which he feels deserves their special place centre stage. This title will help you go deeper into the songs themselves. Featuring images of the author's own record collection, with different record covers from different countries, which will also appeal to fans, lovers of vinyl, and people who enjoy the music of the 50s, 60s and 70s. The book aims to have the reader look at each song in a different light - maybe go back and play the lesser heard songs and appreciate them in a whole different way after reading the story behind that particular track. If it further builds on the fans' knowledge about Elvis and brings around a bigger appreciation of Presley's music then the book will have achieved its purpose.
