Elvis - In A Minnesota Minute
MRS will publish its first standalone book as a limited
edition only release. The 9 x 11 inch hardback book contains 100 pages in full
color gloss print, featuring the photographic works of
Tim Healy in
Minneapolis,
Minnesota at the Elvis Presley
show on October 17, 1976.
As the Minneapolis Tribune reported at
the time, “Elvis is in as good shape as ever and, of course, as a performer on
stage, singing or just fooling around, he has more charisma than a dozen other
top performers combined. Will Elvis endure? Judging by the screams of the
audience he's in no trouble.”
With Elvis slimmed down and performing
better than earlier in the year,
Tim Healy’s
exclusive photographs manage to visually capture Elvis’ new-found enthusiasm
effortlessly and in an uncannily realistic way.
MRS are proud to release this new look at Elvis in 1976 and all the
photographs contained in the book are completely unreleased. The upcoming FTD
release of ‘A Minnesota Moment’ front cover (out on 15th February),
is also the work of Tim Healy.
This book will only be limited to 1500 copies worldwide and will be
released on 15th February.

DUKE BARDWELL ON FINNISH TELEVISION
We’ve just uploaded Duke Bardwell’s recent appearance on Finnish breakfast television, in three parts:
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fimsZQDfwWA
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqMdUWWhgEk
Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGPRkA87nQY
Duke stayed out of the spotlights for more than 30 years, so it’s interesting to hear him talk about
so candidly about his association with Elvis. In the interview, the subjects that are touched upon include
the famous shows at the Houston Astrodome in March ’74; his famous waterpistol fight with Elvis on
April 1st, 1975; and the reason why he quit working for Elvis that same month. Duke will be touring
Europe as part of ‘The Original Tribute 2010’ in January 2010, in celebration of the 75th anniversary of
Elvis’ birth. The dates are as follows:
January 15 – 17: Club Loft 44, Warsaw, Poland (3 shows)
January 19: Malmitalo, Helsinki, Finland
January 20 & 21: Ritz, Vaasa (2 shows)
January 22: Auditorium Flog, Firenze, Italy
January 23: Rock Planet, Pinarella di Cervia (Ravenna), Italy
January 24: Effenaar, Eindhoven, Holland

New Book Baby Let's Play House
Nearly thirty-three years after his death, Elvis Presley's extraordinary physical appeal, timeless music, and sexual charisma continue to captivate, titillate, and excite. Though hundreds of books have been written about the King, no book has solely explored his relationships with women and how they influenced his music and life—until now.
Based largely on exclusive interviews with the many women who knew him in various roles—lover, sweetheart, friend, costar, and family member—Baby, Let's Play House explores Presley's love affairs with, among others, Ann-Margret, Linda Thompson, Sheila Ryan Caan, June Juanico, Joyce Bova, Barbara Leigh, Cybill Shepherd, and Priscilla Beaulieu, as well as his friendships with actresses Raquel Welch, Barbara Eden, Mary Ann Mobley, Yvonne Craig, and Celeste Yarnall.
The book also spotlights important early girlfriends and the women who dared to turn him down, including Cher, Petula Clark, and Karen Carpenter, as well as two women—Kay Wheeler and Tura Satana—who taught him dance moves he used onstage.
Baby, Let's Play House, named after the 1955 song that was his first to hit the national charts and his mother's favorite Elvis recording, presents Elvis in a new light—as a charming but wounded Lothario who bedded scores of women but seemed unable to maintain a lasting romantic relationship. While fully exploring the most famous romantic idol of the twentieth century, award-winning veteran music journalist Alanna Nash pulls back the covers on what Elvis really wanted in a woman—and was tragically never able to find.
You can order the Baby, Let's Play House: Elvis Presley and the Women Who Loved Him
at the on-line store.

Books Update
Coming in 2010 two new books from Teenagers Hero Publishing.
The first one will be the follow up to the acclaimed and much discussed Teenagers’ Hero.
The Second will be a different kind of project with focus on the June 1973 tour.
Teenagers’ Hero Publishing’s is proud to announce these two new books for next year; we want to take this occasion to say thanks to all the numerous people who bought the first volume of Steve Rino’s Teenagers’ Hero book.
The book has represented something really new in the Elvis’ book landscape, receiving positive reviews for specialist, website and overall single buyers from all over world.
We received some critics too, from people who expressed their opinion, comparing the book to an ordinary photo book or a biography…..for all the people who bought the book that I have appreciated, they know that we are talking of something else, we don’t want to say that Rino’s work was perfect but we do recognise that the high quality of his work showed promise of future works, more appreciated.
Using the Kay Wheeler words direct to Steve << You certainly captured the 1956 ELVIS MOMENT>> this was Steve Rino’s target and our personal high.
Despite s small number of the first volume remaining we afford Rino the possibility to produce the second volume dedicated to the second part of 1956. To enhance the experience provided by the first book whilst being both critic and supporter we intend the following changes:
- 200 pages, as 400 pages limited the previous book due to expensive mailing cost.
- hardcover and Full Colour book as requested by many people
- Improved quality of the photos used, due to a larger quantity of material available.
- More attention to details to allow the reader to enjoy the text without looking for error.
We hope that you enjoy the result…
We want to say just a few words about the second book, we have started a new collaboration with the big collector Bob Rush, Rush’s big collection of Elvis’ photo’s from 1973 to 1977 gave us the idea and the possibility to plan the pressing of a book of the June 1973 tour certainly the best moment of Elvis in 1973.
Lastly the book will keep the same size and characteristics previously listed for the teen second volume, but will be a more ordinary PHOTO book with more of 150 rare photos of the tour.
We are yet to set the pressing date whilst both are still being worked on by the author. We will keep you updated with book layout and other details in the coming months.
Inside the web-site we post within the month all details possible to give a more complete preview of both books….
Teenagers’ Hero Vol.1 is still available to order on the web or through your usual dealer, if you don’t yet have don’t miss the opportunity!!!
