Press note:
This is Elvis, the 'Best Of British : The RCA Years 1957-1959' is the continuation of the British story now detailing his RCA releases
from 1957 - 1958. This book and CD release is a follow-up companion to the critically acclaimed and highly successful 'Elvis: The Best
Of British - The HMV Years', [now sold out with just a few copies remaining] this book contains the full history of over FIFTY iconic
Elvis songs initially released by RCA in Great Britain. Again, each song has been thoroughly researched to the same high standards and
is graphically catalogued.
Containing over 1000 illustrations, unpublished photographs and charts, together with rare items of memorabilia, this volume of 'The
RCA Years' moves the story forward to explicitly reveal previously unknown facts and additional British connections to the songs.
Within these 500 pages and amongst many formerly unknown fascinating facts, you will discover:
The English pub that inspired an Elvis song! Exactly where and when Elvis learned to play piano! The real life characters contained
within the lyrics of Jailhouse Rock!
The CD included with this book features many first-time officially released Elvis tracks. Here, amongst his classic songs, are the
songwriters' demo recordings as Elvis first heard them, plus the message he recorded on his home answer machine!
'The RCA Years (1957 - 1958)' chronicles the meteoric rise in Great Britain of the 'Sun King' to the man who would ultimately be
crowned 'Artist Of The 20th Century'.
