This is Elvis, with the continuation of the British story now detailing his RCA releases from 1957 - 1958.
As a companion to the critically acclaimed and highly successful ‘Elvis: The Best Of British - The HMV Years’, 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Containing over 1000 illustrations, unpublished photographs and charts, together with rare items of memorabilia, this volume of ‘The RCA Years’ moves the story forward to explicitly reveal previously unknown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’.
Elvis innovated, others imitated!

Jetzt mal ehrlich, bei so einer Veröffentlichung stellt man wieder fest, dass FTD nicht den Anspruch hat, den Sammlermarkt zu befriedigen. Die sind meilenweit von dem Gründungsanpruch entfernt.

Wie läuft das? Da schreibt irgendjemand ein Buch und sagt: "Hey FTD, ich habe hier ein Buch, da könnt ihr euer Logo darauf drucken. Ihr packt nur 'ne CD bei und fertig! Denn es ist doch egal, was das Thema ist, die blöden Sammler kaufen doch eh alles, wo FTD drauf steht".

Ja, so denke ich, läuft das. Ich habe schon das erste britische Buch ausgelassen, war das nicht über die HMV Ausgaben?
