About The Book
Hundreds of books have been published since Elvis Presleys
death yet none have seriously documented the making of his films. Elvis spent
more than half of his career making films, yet this critical time period has
been essentially ignored by most biographers. This book investigates the making
of nine of his films, in the words of those that worked on and co-starred in
them. The author spared no expense to locate and interview hundreds of people
who worked on Elvis's films, including co-stars, movie crew members, dancers,
extras and stuntmen. Anecdotes and fascinating behind the scene accounts is the
central focus. A large portion of the book consists of direct quotations from
the interviewees, edited to create an interesting narrative of each film. It is
a running commentary on Elviss films. In addition the book contains
information obtained directly from the movie files. Decades old questions
regarding particular scenes and songs, believed to have been filmed, will be
addressed and answered. Readers will find chapters on King Creole, Kid
Galahad, Roustabout, Easy Come Easy Go, Double Trouble,
Clambake, Live A Little, Love A Little, The Trouble With Girls and Change
Of Habit. The book concludes with a fascinating chapter on the Elvis movie
that should have been: A Star Is Born.
Ten pages of rare black and white photographs or movie documentation will be
interspersed through out the book, never published, and obtained by the author.
In addition, the author scouted and found many locations, in and around Los
Angeles, used in Elviss films. Several location photos will be included in
the book as well. Elvis: Frame By Frame will be the first book to present a
detailed account into the making of Elviss films. Most importantly, the book
offers a new perspective and understanding of the most fascinating entertainer
of our time.
You can buy the book directly from the website Elvis : Frame By Frame

"Elvis - The Jumpsuitology"
is the anthology of Elvis' stage outfits used during all the 1145 live
appearances from 1969 to 1977. It is first ever comprehensive DVD project
highlighting this aspect of Elvis career. The producers spent several months
on research and obtaining materials, and then spent more than 250 hours in a
professional studio for restoration and putting the DVD together.
The
first volume of the DVD focuses on the years 1969 - 1972. Theres brief, but
relevant information on each concert tour, as well as the Las Vegas or Lake
Tahoe engagements, all followed by specially assorted good quality photos of the
jumpsuits used for each tour or engagement. There are more than 250 photos (some
rare) of all the 110 versions of the suits, including the first
"Herringbone" and "Cisco Kid" suits, the August '72
"Two - Piece" suits and all others.
The
video section contains more than 30 rare clips (mostly 8 mm amateur footage) of
Elvis on stage in different suits. Every piece of film was carefully selected,
edited and professionally restored in a studio and every effort has been made to
achieve the highest possible picture quality, nevertheless in few cases
producers decided to use substandard quality material in order to maintain the
integrity of the project.

BINDER PENS BOOK

THE MAKING OF THE 1968 ELVIS PRESLEY SPECIAL
This
will be the definitive book on the making of the 1968 ELVIS PRESLEY television
special.
JAT

With
of the 40th Anniversary of the 1968 special approaching, Binder felt
it was time to pen his own book, having read so much on the special that
didnt feel right with its director. And when it came time to find a
publisher, JAT was Binders only choice.
Steve
explained, "Knowing Joe Tunzi personally and his JAT publishing company
makes me very comfortable that I'm in good hands. I have found Joe to be a man
of integrity and passion in keeping the Elvis legend alive."
Publisher
Joe Tunzi offered these comments, Being able to publish a book by Steve
Binder about the legendary 1968 ELVIS T.V. Special was a dream come true.
Tunzi
continued, This is guaranteed to be one of the greatest books in our vast
catalog. Steve is without question brilliant in every sense of the word
and one of the most talented and creative minds I ever had the good
fortune to work with. Not to mention a true gentleman.
Binder will kick-off the promotional tour for the book with a special appearance in Memphis during Elvis Week 2008.

Essential Elvis, the UK's largest
Elvis Presley organisation, is planning a wonderful party to commemorate
what would've been Elvis' 73rd birthday, and the venue is as exciting as what's
on offer. Join other fans at Vernon Presley's former home on Dolan Drive,
just yards from Graceland, to enjoy some great music, film and delicious
birthday cake on the evening of January 8th, beginning at 6pm.
You'll be able to mingle with Elvis' friends, associates and colleagues. The
EE:UK team are currently finalising details with some very
exciting guests, but this year they have a very unique theme - In
The Beat Of The Night. Yes, they've tracked down
some of Elvis' old police buddies, including ex-Memphis cop Tom Morgan and
retired Shelby County Sheriff Gene Barksdale. You'll also get to meet
ex-Sheriff and Mayor Bill Morris, and even the current Sheriff, Mark
Luttrell, has had an open invite.
Jeanne LeMay, Linda Thompson friend and Elvis' Graceland secretary, will also be
there to meet the fans and to sign copies of her new book, Elvis,
Linda and Me. Along with others yet to confirm, Mike Freeman will be
signing copies of his new DVD, Elvis' Memphis. There will also be
some interesting police paraphernalia on display including badges that once
belonged to Elvis.
The entrance fee will be just $20.00 (that's just 10.00,
if you're from the UK) per person, and you can pay on the door.

A Unique City Tour For Birthday Week 2008
Due to the success of their city tour in August, Essential Elvis
is planning another all-day tour of Memphis on January 8th. Bigger
and better than anything offered before, the team aim to show fans a huge number
of Elvis-related sights in and around the city - and all in the comfort and
warmth of a luxury coach.
In August, a hundred excited fans were shown a total of 80 Elvis-related
places over a period of 8 hours, and everyone had so much fun. Andrew
Hearn is personally organising and conducting the tour, and will be
providing the commentary along the way. You may know that Andrew
recently released a book entitled Follow Me To Tennessee (www.followmetotennessee.com)
in which fans can learn about 125 Elvis sights in Memphis, along with accurate
facts and stories by people who experienced those places with Elvis first hand.
The tour will leave, at 10:30am, from behind the ticket office on the plaza once
the birthday proclamation on the lawn has finished. The first stop will be at
Elvis' Circle G Ranch in Mississippi, and then they'll progress towards
downtown Memphis. There will be a lunch stop downtown early
afternoon and the tour will finish back at Graceland at approximately 5pm.
There's more exciting news - EE:UK have enlisted the help of a
surprise guest, who will be coming along for the ride. This person was a
personal friend of Elvis' and rode around the city with him over many years in
the 1970s. So, you'll be guaranteed some first-hand tales of
life with the King - making this particular tour very special.
Cost is just $40.00 (just 20.00) per person.
Please reserve your places as soon as possible as seats are limited, and the
tour is expected to be very popular. Email Andrew Hearn with any
questions, concerns or suggestions at enquiries@essentialelvis.com.
The Essential Elvis team would be pleased to hear from you if you
are considering joining them for either event. It'd be helpful to
have some idea of numbers, so booking in advance would be good.
