Summary: The Elvis Treasures
Comment: Someone had purchased this book for me. I was so impressed with its contents/documents/photos and information that I ordered the same book for a person I know who is an Elvis impersonator. He was over-joyed to receive it and claimed he had never come across such a great book! It is a book to treasure.

Summary: Admitted Elvis Junkie
Comment: There has never been a better time to be an Elvis fan. His record company is beginning to show his catalogue the respect it deserves. The definitive Elvis biography was written in the late 90's by Peter Guralnick. This year there was a big 600 page picture book released. I had a chance to thumb through it at Tower Records. It is filled with all kinds of things I hadn't seen before. It was interesting and totally first rate in terms of content and design. It was selling for 50 USD.
This book I received as a gift. A most welcome one at that. The text is highlights of his life. For us knowledgeable about Elvis there is nothing new here. The neat thing here is the all the removable memorabilia. So let me talk about that. Some interesting notes he wrote on the back of a press release for his upcoming 1970 season in Vegas; black tights, fix bracelets, record player for dressing room, scarves blue, etc. guitar reef (anybody know what that is?) for dressing room and new flowers for piano, gator aid for stage, a list of songs for his show; The Fair Is Moving On, The Grass Won't Pay No Mind, Without Love, This Is The Story, Only The Strong Survive. How wonderful it would have been to have recordings of these songs live and on stage. He goes back and forth from printing to cursive writing. He did not have very neat handwriting. And how about seeing the script for the karate documentary Elvis wanted to make in the late 70's - that's here too. It looks to be written in/by different hands.
Then there is the 10-track interview CD. There are many of these floating around. Included here is probably the most telling interview Elvis ever gave, clocking in at 18 minutes it must be the longest. The date for the interview is Sept. 1962 with Lloyd Shearer for Parade Magazine. He talks about sports; football is his favorite sport, karate, and boxing. Books he's read, mostly educational, some philosophy and a little poetry. His friends, his father, the death of his mother, his cars, possible future marriage, his loneliness, his own mortality, how he feels about himself, his temper. His image and how it has changed, his desire to improve all aspects of his career. It's not all serious though, he and Shearer joke and some of Elvis' friends can be heard laughing in the backround. There are interviews from as far back as 1955. The last and latest is a press conference for the 1972 Madison Garden concerts. Another noteworthy interview is the 1956 Paul Wilder Tv Guide interview. Wilder reads to Elvis selections from Herb Rowe's drag-'em-through-the-mud-review of Elvis' music, his performances, his fans and his religion. Also an interview with Elvis' parents from 1956. Glady's favorite songs are: Baby, Let's Play House and Don't Be Cruel. Vernon likes too many to name but he comes up with Hound Dog.
