This is Elvis and in the concluding volume of the trilogy Elvis: The Best of British, this time the focus is on the RCA recordings
of 1959-1960 and, consistent with the previous volumes, contains over 500 pages. Discover exactly how Elvis, on his triumphant return
from army service, reinvented his career at the top of the entertainment world when RCA declared 'Elvis is Back!' before the movie
"G.I. Blues" changed his life forever. His story is graphically told through the music with over 50 iconic songs, originally released
on the British RCA label, having been extensively researched. Over 1100 rare or previously unpublished photographs, charts and unique
memorabilia, create a visually enhanced record of a superstar with unsurpassed acclaim. Read about the management strategy to keep
Elvis' name in the public eye whilst he was away, which not only succeeded in retaining his image of more than just a singer, but as
the pulse at the heart of a generation.
With its wealth of invaluable information, this book includes: - Every known photograph and press cutting of Elvis in Scotland, his
only time on British soil! Photographs from the pivotal meeting with Hal Wallis in a German restaurant where Elvis' future movie
career was mapped out! The New York Elvis songwriter who was thrown into the East River by mobsters and the British composer who
appeared on a ’10 bank note!
This book includes a 30 track CD featuring many performances officially released for the first time. Hear Elvis personally introduce
his British chart toppers during this two year period along with other classic tracks, rare movie versions and audio movie promotions.
Add to that, exciting songwriter demos as Elvis first heard them and you will own a unique CD to treasure. Elvis: The Best Of British,
The RCA Years 1959 - 1960 charts the fascinating facts about Private Presley's RCA UK releases during these two years and Colonel
Parker's plan to engineer Elvis' move away from rock 'n' roll to attract a new generation of fans whilst still retaining his crown
as 'The King'.
