"ELVIS: CAUGHT IN A TRAP" 10TH ANNIVERSARY
In 2002, Arjan Deelen and Laurens van Houten produced the Elvis photo-book "Elvis: Caught In A Trap", which at the time set a new standard for Elvis photo publications. The book detailed Laurens' trip to Las Vegas to photograph Elvis' August / September 1973 shows there. The elusive Laurens van Houten has always avoided publicity and he's always been guarded about his photos. Laurens did meet up with Arjan recently to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the book, and at that meeting he also expressed his dissatisfaction with those that use his photography without his permission, like for instance the recent "Fashion For A King" book.
A clip from their meeting can be seen here: http://youtu.be/hjFKZO7Eh9E
In this video excerpt they chat about the remarkable September 3rd, 1973 Las Vegas Closing Show -- one of the most unusual shows of Elvis' career. Laurens talks about the challenges of photographing Elvis at the Las Vegas Hilton, which included having to give the hotel staff generous tips in order to get up-close. The last remaining copies of the book will be sold at the 'Original Elvis Tribute' shows in April '12, but you can also order the book through the website: www.elvisnews.dk

Ginger Holloday Recalls Her First Meeting With Elvis
Even though it's now 40 years ago that she first met Elvis, Ginger Holladay's memories of that January 1969 meeting still remain vivid in her mind: "Yes, it was when we were recording "In The Ghetto". A crowd of men laughing and joking walked into the studio and then parted and there he was, in the center of them all. He came over and introduced himself to us (as if we didn't already know...he was such a gentleman) and shook each of our hands".
At the time, Elvis was recording at American Sound Studios in Memphis. These sessions rejuvenated Elvis' career as a relevant recording artist. And he fell in love with the 'Holladay Sound': the girls ended up working on virtually every studio album he did between 1969 and '75 (16 original albums in all), and their voices were even dubbed onto some of the live recordings. "We had a sound that someone described as blood harmony, a sound that only comes if you are family", says Ginger, "Elvis liked our sound, as did Felton Jarvis, his producer for RCA".
Mary and Ginger Holladay will be coming to Europe for the first time this April as part of the 'Original Elvis Tribute' show. These shows will mark the first time that the original backing vocals of classics like "Suspicious Minds" and "In The Ghetto" can be heard live in concert in Europe. They will be doing shows in Finland, Norway, Sweden, Holland and Luxembourg. "Bobby Wood suggested us to Arjan Deelen who is creating the shows", Ginger notes. "We've worked together with Bobby for many years, but this will be our first time working with the other guys, and we are looking forward to creating a great show with them. According to Bobby and Arjan, it will be great fun creating music with them all. These shows are going to be filled with the "heart of rock n roll" because we are thrilled to be able to bring you the music of Elvis Presley, who is the King of it!".
'The Original Elvis Tribute', which also includes a.o. Duke Bardwell, Bobby Wood and Jerome 'Stump' Monroe, will be doing the following shows: Vara Konserthus, Sweden – April 7; Sibelius-talo, Lahti (FI) – April 10; Tampere-talo (FI) – April 11; Savoy Theater, Helsinki – April 12; Deichhall, Ettelbruck, Luxembourg – April 13; Elvis Cruise Stena Lines, Oslo (NO) – April 14/15; Het Paard, Den Haag (NL) – April 21; 013, Tilburg (NL) – April 22.

TWO MAJOR ELVIS EVENTS IN HOLLAND IN APRIL '12
Great news for the Dutch fans! The biggest Dutch fanclub "Elvis For Everyone" will be staging TWO major Elvis events in April 2012. Both concerts will feature "The Original Elvis Tribute 2012", a tremendous production which includes original Elvis musicians and singers like Bobby Wood, Duke Bardwell, Ginger and Mary Holladay and Jerome "Stump" Monroe. Both shows will have a different theme, each inspired by the '68 Comeback. The first one, which will take place on April 21st 2012 at "Het Paard" in Den Haag (The Hague) will be a rocking party night, and has therefore been dubbed "the standup show" (w/ the audience dancing and having fun to the music), while the concert at 013 in Tilburg on April 22, 2012 has been dubbed "the sitdown show" and will be more relaxed, with the audience seated… A good opportunity for everybody to wind down after a wild night in The Hague. Fanclub president Constatijn Zantingh (31) says: "We're very excited about these two shows. In order to keep Elvis in the limelight, we need to come up with new ideas all the time, and we all really like the idea of a 'standup show' for a wild night of fun, and a 'sitdown show' for those fans that prefer a more relaxed setup. Of course we hope that the fans will come to both shows, first to rock the night away to Elvis' music in The Hague, and then to unwind together with other fans while really listening to this great band. We will have several fantastic surprises planned for these two shows, and we really want to make both nights a one-of-a-kind celebration of Elvis' music". For more information on these remarkable shows, please visit www.elvismagazine.eu or www.elvisnews.dk

ELVIS' BOOK JUNE TOUR 1973 - short review
(review by Robert Sinclair)
Could this book to be the definitive study about the Elvis June 1973 tour? That's it! Steve Reno and Bob Rush, who already wrote the unbelievable "Teenager Hero" book in 2008, are the authors of this great new book. "Elvis, June 1973" is full of unreleased pictures mostly in great quality from one of the greatest Elvis live tour ever!
The sixteen live shows are here described under every minimal aspect and reading page after page I got the feel to be here among the fans seeing Elvis live. A lot of new and unreleased stories are loaded here and another thing that has stoned me out are the newspaper article about every show. This is very important to me as you can really understand what the musical critics though about Elvis in those days. Most of the articles are enthusiastic about the Elvis' performances and this confirm that he was really venerated and respected at that time. That was a very important moment for the Elvis' career: he had made the world famous "Aloha From Hawaii" in January and the Colonel had promised him that after that historical show he would have done a world tour….
The "Aloha" show was made for that reason….to show Elvis worldwide before a world tour, but unfortunately for him (and us) it never happened. At this point Elvis was very frustrated about that and this tour maybe it has been the last high level tour. Another strong point of this book is that the authors talk about the 1973 musical contest in the USA and they try to compare the Elvis musical situation with the new artists like David Bowie, Elton John and so on. Reading this I learned a very interesting thing: most of the 1973 albums in the top ten charts came from UK artists! In 1973 the only USA album that sold like them (more or less) was the Elvis double LP "Aloha From Hawaii"! Often the Elvis books that we can find all around are "only" Elvis' pictures book without any info or worse with wrong info about the concert dates or locations.
Believe me, I read a lot of time "Teenagers Hero" and at this time I'm not able to find a wrong date or location in that book and we're talking about the January , 1956 and June 30, 1956!!! A mistake is almost impossible with the Steve and Bob books as, I know, they have spent al lot of time to get the right info about the tour and all the shows. All the pictures are loaded with the 100% right facts! This is a definitive book about this great Elvis 1973 June tour and I can guarantee you that reading and seeing it you'll be stunned about how Elvis was in great shape at that time. Great shows, unbelievable voice, unbelievable jump suites. Really a must for every serious Elvis' expert. Are you ready to go on Tour with the king??? Here is it the book for you!

Soldier Boy 53 310 761
There are many books published about "Private Presley" but a comprehensive video documentary about our man as "Soldier Boy" is missing - until now:
Tripod Pictures Ltd proudly presents: "Soldier Boy 53 310 761" starring Elvis Presley.
We begin our journey at the Kennedy Veteran Hospital where Elvis gets his first medical examinations to determine his draft status in January 1957. Of course, the well-known solemn promise scene and the "Operation Haircut" is included, too. There are private moments where Elvis can be seen with Anita Wood at Eddie Fadal's home. Be there when Elvis leaves the troop train to enter the U.S.S. Randall; see him arriving in Bremerhaven, Germany; Private Presley is the VIP on numerous press conferences and interviews e.g. with Dick Clark / American Bandstand. Experience Elvis on the grounds of the Ray Barracks or join the "King" during his trip to Paris, France. Unfortunately, Elvis was not home when Cliff Richard was visiting Goethestrasse 14 in Bad Nauheim, but the footage proves that he tried to say ,hello'. You'll get newsreel reports & the trailer for "G.I. Blues" - Elvis' first motion picture after the army.
A special never before released clip shows the unveiling of the memorial bust which was installed in front of the ,Hotel Grunewald" in Bad Nauheim to honor Elvis' stay in that city.
This factory pressed DVD is a labour of love, compiled carefully to present the full story of Elvis and his military tour of duty. The DVD also features a booklet with additional information about dates & locations of the featured clips.

Ginger and Mary Holladay join the Original Tribute tour in 2012
The Original Elvis Tribute' will be back in Europe for April 2012 but the big news this time is that the tour will be even more special with Elvis' backing-vocalists Ginger and Mary Holladay joining the band in Europe for the first time ever! Elvis' other musicians Duke Bardwell, Bobby Wood and Jerome 'Stump' Monroe will still be there along with the outstanding lead presence of Robert Washington. The Holladay sisters were amongst the leading female backing vocalists in the 60s and 70s, and their powerful voices are featured on countless hits & classics. Elvis loved their voices, and he always made sure that Felton would use the Holladays for his recording sessions. Ginger and Mary can be heard on hit-singles like 'Suspicious Minds', 'In The Ghetto', 'The Wonder Of You' and 'You Don't Have To Say You Love Me', as well as on numerous Elvis albums like 'From Elvis In Memphis', 'That's The Way It Is', the Grammy award-winning 'He Touched Me', 'Good Times', 'Promised Land' and 'Today'. Their voices were even overdubbed on live-recordings like the 'On Stage' album. For more info, please contact: deelen@elvis.dk

Stump is coming to Europe!
'The Original Elvis Tribute' will be returning to Europe less than a month from now for a series of nine high profile shows. We are very pleased to announce that we will be repeating the highly successful Madrid appearance; we will be returning there for a show at one of Madrid's hottest new venues, La Sala Live, on May 13th! I know that Duke Bardwell and Bobby Wood in particular are really looking forward to this!
We're also very happy about the latest addition in the band, Mr. Jerome 'Stump' Monroe, a member of the Elvis Presley Show from 1969 to '77, who even played drums behind Elvis on a couple of occasions (one of these shows was released recently on a much discussed '77 box-set). Johnny Christopher couldn't make the tour due to a family situation, so we booked Stump instead. We've already heard from various fans that they are looking forward to meeting one of the 'stars' of the aforementioned box-set! Stump himself says: "I'm very excited about touring with these great musicians in celebration of the greatest entertainer ever, and I'm also really looking forward to meeting the European fans".
Showdates are as follows: Mondorf Casino, Luxembourg 28/4; 013, Tilburg (NL) 1/5; Ritz, Vaasa (FI) 3 & 4/5; Tampere-talo, Tampere (FI) 5/5; Cosmopolite, Oslo (NO) 7/5; Congress Center, Poznan (PL) 11/5; La Sala Live, Madrid (ES) 13/5; Stadthalle Bad Godesberg, Bonn (GE) 14/5.

Elvis Presley – The Patriot
Elvis Presley – The Patriot: A Man's Love Of God And Country. The Summit '76: A Triumph Of The Human Spirit is a 200 page, A5 format soft cover featuring the stunning artwork of Night Rider Designs, beautiful photographs of Bob Heis, and world class photographer Manuel Chavez's never-before-published shot of Elvis flipping the "f" you middle finger to a heckler at the Summit on 28th August 1976. "The Little Girl With The Beautiful High Voice" joins Rosemary Alden, Sandi Miller and Joseph Tunzi as prominent contributors to this project dedicated to Lisa Marie Presley, the non-conforming, truth-seeking rebel.
The Patriot opens with "The Man In Black, The Memphis Flash & Hollywood Hokum (Walk The Line)" and "Academia & The Media Try, But Fail, To Paint A Patriot As A Pillhead" – 10 pages dedicated to Elvis' historic meeting with President Richard Nixon. But it's Chapter 3 that will leave many readers in a state of shock. Numbering 20 pages and entitled "The Hycodan Overdose: Thank God For Blonde Miracles… Enter Sandi Miller," it thoroughly debunks one of the most damaging drug-based allegations (he furnished prescription-strength cough syrup to a sweet, innocent teenager from San Francisco resulting in her overdose in his Palm Springs bed and emergency hospitalization) lodged against Elvis Presley.
More than five of this chapter's 20 powerful pages are devoted to Elvis: What Happened?, with two subsections written specifically as useful knowledge for Lisa Marie Presley: " 'Disposable' People In EP's Life? Providing A Deeper Understanding For LMP And Oprah Winfrey" and "EP To Whom It May Concern: 'I am not fucked up. I've got a daughter and I've got a life.' " A lot of good folks admire Kathy Westmoreland and recognize her importance to Elvis, not only in his personal life, but on stage and in the studio. On 20th March 2011, Kathy spoke with the author about this forthcoming project and also revealed the biggest heartbreak Elvis suffered in the 70's.
DL: "How much would it hurt or disappoint Elvis if Lisa Marie believed the accusations in the bodyguard book and elsewhere?"
Kathy Westmoreland: "I don't believe Elvis would survive. He couldn't live. I think it would just kill him. From my heart, I'm telling you it would crush him more than anything anyone could possibly imagine."
DL: "There couldn't be anything worse happen to him than for his daughter to believe the drug accusations?"
Kathy Westmoreland: "No. There could be nothing worse happen to him. I can't think of anything. There's nothing else that would hurt him more and Lisa was the only thing he worried about."
DL: "Did he pretty much say, 'What's my girl gonna think?' "
Kathy Westmoreland: "Yeah. 'What's Lisa gonna think? What's gonna happen to her? What's she gonna believe?' " That was his big concern. He was just beside himself on realizing that she would be subjected to trying to figure all this out."
DL: "In all the years that you knew Elvis, Kathy, was this the most hurt – the biggest heartbreak – that you observed?"
Kathy Westmoreland: "It's the biggest one. It's the one."
DL: "Do you recall Elvis asking, 'What if the public turns against me because of the bodyguard book?' "
Kathy Westmoreland: "I think he did say something to that effect, but he knew that he couldn't please everybody and he would be the first to tell you that. He cared about Lisa. Knowing that Lisa would believe it and be affected by it for the rest of her life – Elvis couldn't have handled it. He'd have an instant heart attack."
Why would Kathy Westmoreland attach her stellar reputation to this soft cover? Why is Elvis' trusted friend Sandi Miller referred to as a blonde miracle? How many eyewitnesses in Houston did the author speak with? You'll find out the answers to these questions and much, much more in the 2nd installment of Elvis Presley – The Patriot: A Man's Love Of God And Country.

New Estonian Elvis Biography
’Kuningas Elvis’ is the title of a new biography that has just been published in the Baltic state of Estonia. The book was written by Estonian Elvis fanclub president Tony Tuulas, who’s an attorney-at-law in daily life. It’s no coincidence that the Elvis fanclub there was founded in 1990, the same year that the reign of the communistic regime ended. “During the communistic regime all western music was forbidden”, Tuulas says, “But Elvis was nevertheless quite popular, because many of us were able to listen to him by tuning into Finnish radio stations with our antenna radios. Mind you, this was strictly forbidden and could result in a prison sentence”.
The book is a lavish hardback 192-page publication with many color and b&w photos, the story of Elvis’ life and career, an album discography from ’56 to ’77, an overview of his gold and platinum albums, a filmography as well as a chapter about the Estonian fanclub’s activities since ’90. Even though I can’t read Estonian, I thoroughly enjoyed leafing through the book, as the design and the reproduction of the photos are topnotch. For more information about this remarkable book, you can contact Tony directly at: Tonu.Tuulas@leppik.ee

LMFP – Karma 2010: A Genesis Of Rebel DNA / Elvis – Through My Eyes
“LMP – Karma 2010: A Genesis Of Rebel DNA / Elvis – Through My Eyes” is an A5 format soft cover written in memory of Mr. Vernon Elvis and Mrs. Gladys Love Presley. As you will learn in this forthcoming soft cover, somebody noticed.
This project is dedicated to the daughter who dreams of redemption for a father that worshipped the ground she walked on and with whom she shares a magical connection; who dreams about dignity being restored to the Presley family name and has never lost faith that some day it would happen. The beautiful artwork of Nightrider Designs, the special photographs of Bob Heis and publisher of the original Elvis World Phil Gelormine, to author interviews with wonderful ladies like Kathy Westmoreland, Katherine St. James and Rosemary Alden, “LMFP – Karma 2010” delivers!
Also deserving of acknowledgement is Sandi Miller for her valuable contribution. And a special thank you to Stacy, webmaster of “Presley’s Pride,” for standing beside LMFP and the rest of the Presley family.
Unbeknownst to Lisa Marie, this man has dedicated much of the last 10 years of his life to researching and meticulously documenting salient truths about her dad. Against considerable odds, a path to higher awareness was forged with useful knowledge acquired in spades. As Michael J. Fox said so eloquently: “One’s dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked. But cannot be taken away unless it is surrendered.” Presleys don’t surrender. They prevail.

Elvis Death Revisited
As you know, August 16th is the 33rd anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley.
Please alert your fans and visitors about our unique web site www.ElvisDeathRevisited.com
The site features vintage radio broadcasts from those three days in August when we interviewed friends and family members who saw him just before he died. And you'll hear live interviews with fans at the gates of Graceland.
These rare broadcasts transport Elvis fans into the “moment” as you feel the emotions experienced the day the King of Rock died.
I have kept these rare interviews locked away since 1977 and only posted them on the internet this year when I decided to launch this web site dedicated to the memory of Elvis.

Bobby Wood & Johnny Christopher in Europe
The ‘Original Elvis Tribute’ show will be returning in May ‘11, and we will have several surprises for the European fans. We are proud to announce that legendary keyboard player BOBBY WOOD will be joining us this time. No doubt most of you already know that he was an integral part of the ‘American Sound Studios’ band, with whom Elvis recorded his finest albums FROM ELVIS IN MEMPHIS and BACK IN MEMPHIS, as well as hit-singles like “Suspicious Minds”, “In The Ghetto”, “Kentucky Rain” and “Don’t Cry Daddy”. It’s also quite an honour for us that Mr. Wood will be bringing his old buddy & ‘American Sound Studios’ associate, JOHNNY CHRISTOPHER. Johnny played rhythm guitar for Elvis during the STAX sessions in ’73, and also wrote / co-wrote songs for him like “Always On My Mind”, “Mama Liked The Roses” (Johnny remembers Elvis crying when he first heard this song) and “If You Talk In Your Sleep”. Johnny Christopher will be singing his own songs at the shows, just like he did on the original demos for Elvis. These shows will mark the first time ever that he performs at an Elvis show, and it will also be his first visit to Europe. This time, the ‘Original Elvis Tribute’ will have a special Memphis ’69 / Stax ’73 theme, and we all believe that this is going to be our most exciting tour yet.

Benefit Concert For Myrna Smith At Elvis Week
Elvis Unlimited is proud to announce that our Back
In Memphis concert will be a benefit concert for Myrna Smith
of The Sweet Inspirations. Elvis Unlimited was the first to
break the news of Myrna being hospitalized in London and then again in
California where she presently is recovering.
We now can share some even more serious news about Myrna. She has suffered a
stroke and is on dialysis. She will need long term care. Myrna has many medical
bills and many more medical expenses are ahead due to severity of her condition.
Therefore, Henrik & I have decided that proceeds from our show will go to Myrna
to help relieve some of the stress of the medical bills. Right now, Myrna only
needs to focus on getting better.
The show is during Elvis Week on August 12
at 8 PM at the Michael D. Rose Theater
at the University Of Memphis. Reserved seats are 45.00
US Dollars and includes admission to the mini -convention and silent auction
from 6 to 8 PM with special guests Barbara Hearn,Charles Stone, Sonny West,
Sandi Pichon, Roben Jones & more.
We have spent the last month reorganizing this show to make this a complete
success for Myrna. We have changed venues to a larger venue right in Memphis to
accommodate more fans and lower ticket prices. We also will have a silent
auction before the show at our mini convention from 6 to 8 PM for ticket holders
only. All items will directly benefit Myrna. Come down to the University of
Memphis for THE concert of Elvis Week! We promise you a great show and a chance
to lend a helping hand to our Sweet Inspiration, Myrna Smith!
Let's show Myrna how much we love and support her! Let's all pull together
and help Myrna just as Elvis would do! Let's show the world
what the Elvis Family is all about - friendship and support!
VIP Tickets are available through us, email us at

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.
