'Elvis Presley: Conversations with Scotty Moore' New E-Book: From author Jim Berkenstadt with a foreword by Albert Lee, the upcoming Kindle release (due out August 11) described as:
... “July 4, 1954, was no ordinary Independence Day.
It was the day a young delivery truck driver named Elvis Presley walked into guitarist Scotty Moore’s Memphis living room to sing—and change popular music forever. Only three men were there: Elvis, Scotty, and bassist Bill Black. From that moment came a new kind of independence for American youth: the birth of Rock and Roll.
In Elvis Presley: Conversations with Scotty Moore, Elvis’s first guitarist, manager, and close confidante, reveals how a shy kid from Memphis became the King of Rock and Roll.
Scotty recalls their early days at Memphis Recording Service, the wild tours, tangling with Col. Tom Parker, making Hollywood films, and Elvis’ historic 1968 Comeback Special. Scotty’s pioneering guitar work on Presley’s records inspired a generation of great guitar slingers. This is Scotty Moore’s personal, inside story of the man - and the music - that set the world on fire.”

Book Review 'Destined To Give: The Legendary Generosity of Elvis Presley': In 2020 Sally Hoedel published Destined To Die Young her first Elvis related book - followed in 2022 by 'Destined To Fly'. Ms Hoedel now finishes her Elvis trilogy with the recently published 'Destined to Give: The Legendary Generosity of Elvis Presley'.

'Destined to Give' examines the evolution of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s benevolent giving and the purpose he found by sharing much of his wealth with others. Elvis was meant to share himself with the world, even if his time was made short

Along with the well-known examples of Elvis’ generosity, the author via her thorough research has uncovered fascinating information about the disparate ways in which Elvis helped others - and the book is packed with an abundance of interesting and diverse information. 
'Destined to Give' is a release which effortlessly interweaves Elvis’ biography with a primary character trait in his compassion for and helping others. 
The book informs, answers, and above all, celebrates the wonderful humanity of Elvis Aaron Presley.

‘Heading Down To Sunset Boulevard’ CD Review: Released by RCA / SONY on their “Sunset Boulevard” set but in poor quality and at the wrong speed, the Reel-Trax label corrected this with a neat 2-CD set released late last year. - Now also released on vinyl.
.. Elvis' August 16, 1974 RCA studio rehearsal, presented here has been carefully and newly mixed. Using the latest state-of-the-art studio technology, we have worked to create a much more balanced recording that does justice to both the musicianship and Elvis’ performance. Each song has been carefully mixed for the best presentation.
The rehearsal has also been speed-corrected, as earlier releases ran far too slow. 
Being a double-CD we have also added performance highlights from Elvis' “Summer Festival” 1974 engagement. 

EIN's Piers Beagley checks out whether this new import set really improves on the official RCA release - (actually yes!)

UPDATED - 'EPiC' - Elvis Presley in Concert' EIN Review: Baz Luhrmann's 'EPiC' - Elvis Presley in Concert' opens in cinemas worldwide today Feb 27, 2026. It has already received rave reviews in the general media and now EIN has a deeper look. 
Director Baz Luhrmann explained.."'EPiC' is not specifically a documentary, nor a concert film: Elvis takes the audience through the journey of his life, weaving never-before-seen footage with iconic performances that have never been presented in this way, from the 1970 Vegas show, on tour in 1972 and even precious moments of the 1957 “gold jacket” performance in Hawaii. 
Most importantly, Elvis will sing and tell you about his life in first person, through both classic and contemporary musical prisms.”

Directed by Baz Luhrmann and edited by Jonathan Redmond, the documentary is 96 minutes of stunning insight into Elvis the artist, caring friend and creative genius from small-town Mississippi. 
Watching 'EPiC' on big screen is one of those deeply satisfying tactile experiences that can truly only be felt in your body. A great meal. A satisfying run. Swimming in warm ocean. Crisp mountain air. Playing with your puppy. Having a good buzz...

EIN's Piers Beagley and Vince Alex explain the wonder and excitement of the best Elvis documentary ever produced...

“Stump” Monroe, Elvis drummer, has died: It is with profound sadness that the family of Jerome “Stump” Monroe announce his passing. 
He passed peacefully at home after a brief illness. 

Elvis super-fan Warren Schubert posted this lovely tribute..
... "Today, a friend passed.  This man wasn't just any friend, he is Jerome Stump Monroe, drummer, jokester, ladies man and as nice a person as you could ever be lucky enough to meet. 
I only knew him for a short time, but I loved him like an uncle, you know the one you cant wait to see again?!?!  
Being able to watch him as he brought smiles to others with his kind words and quick wit is something i will always treasure. 
Sitting with him at 35,000 feet and both of us listening to Elvis’s first album and having him drumming along on his leg, saying to me “That's my boy!” Is a memory that only comes but once in a lifetime. 
Elvis, was just one artist he played behind, toss in James Brown, Wilson

Picket, The Sweet Inspirations, and that one time with Little Richard. There were so many other acts famous and almost famous that he kept time for, always finding the perfect pocket to hold that groove in. 
Even knowing this day was coming hasn’t made it any easier to handle. 
I will miss you Stump, as you said to me many times, “You’re good people and I love you, man!” 
You’ll never be forgotten because your huge heart touched so many others."

Jerome 'Stump' Monroe was a charming, down-to-earth, self-effacing man who was an absolute delight to chat to when EIN called for an interview back in 2011 - and despite playing over 1,000 concerts with The Elvis Presley Show he still considered himself as no one special!

Book Review- “Elvis Presley’s Gold Cadillac Limousine - The USA, Australian & New Zealand Tours” (Peter R. “Bob” Hayden): Australia’s most prolific Elvis book author, Bob Hayden, has released a “deluxe”, expanded edition of his critically acclaimed, and retitled, publication about (principally) the tour "downunder" of Elvis' Gold Cadillac limousine!

Including information on how the tour “downunder” was arranged, the author offers a “day-by-day” account of each town or city the Cadillac was on display around Australia. Promotion for the tour included significant media publicity and competitions in many areas to select “Elvis Presley’s Golden Girls”! It was a fascinating era for "Elvis" tours!

EIN’s Nigel Patterson has taken a ride in the golden chariot’s 3rd edition and was more than impressed with its performance improvements.

'The Sun Singles of Elvis': In-depth Book Review: Elvis specialist Warren Schubert has published his new book via Memphis Mansion - 'The Sun Singles of Elvis – An Illustrated Guide'.
... The publicity noted
This book reveals all the secrets behind Elvis’ most iconic records: the legendary five Sun singles! 
How many variations of Elvis’ legendary Sun 209 actually exist?
It includes hundreds of high-resolution photographs showing all known variations and expert analysis that separates myth from fact.

If Elvis hadn't walked into the Memphis Recording Service in mid-1953 our world might be very different today. It was his crucial SUN singles that would not only be the bedrock of his stunning legacy but the music on those fragile pieces of shellac would also go on to change the history of rock'n'roll and popular culture. 

EIN's Piers Beagley spent a weekend enthralled in this beautifully presented book and found that there is far more to discover than just the examination of each variation of Elvis' SUN singles.
We guarantee it will make you want to spin your old vinyl!

(Book Review) 'Elvis: April - May 1958': The new Elvis "day-by-day" photo-journal release from Paul Belard, "Elvis April-May 1958 " is out now.
Over 208 pages, and with more than 200 photos, the book looks at Elvis' first two months in the army
These two months would have been the most traumatising for Elvis. None of us can imagine his real feelings as Elvis went from being the world’s biggest entertainer to becoming a regular soldier doing group exercises, sit-ups, marching, shoe cleaning, ‘K.P’ and all the time not knowing what the next two years would bring.
While Elvis would spend these months doing basic training, it would be his interactions with his army mates and the general public that help enrich our knowledge of the kind of person Elvis really was.
With plenty of books presenting the wild-side of Elvis the superstar-performer in 1957, in 'April - May 1958' it's revealing to see more of the "real Elvis."

Go here as Piers Beagley checks out this interesting look at an often ignored part of Elvis' life.

Spotlight "What You Don't Know About ELVIS PRESLEY" Movie Mirror Feb 1957: Another brilliant vintage article, this time from 'Movie Mirror' magazine February 1957.
Written by Alfred Wertheimer - the photographer - "Untold Facts about ELVIS PRESLEY by a Friend."

.. "Why do the girls go for Elvis? I'm no judge of that, of course! But I'd guess it's because he has very sensuous eyes and lips.
Elvis doesn't care what people think. And he's not bashful. He'll walk up and talk to anybody.
Elvis is completely unorthodox, and unpredictable. As he puts it, "If you wanta’ get ahead, you gotta be different!" And he means it.
With other performers, you can predict pretty well what the act is going to be when they step on a stage. Not with Elvis."

(Book Review) Elvis Presley: Walk A Mile In My Shoes (Otto Fuchs): EIN’s Nigel Patterson takes a look inside a 2023 book that slipped through the cracks and therefore the consciousness of most in the Elvis world.

The publicity notes... Elvis died on August 16th, 1977, at the age of just 42, in his Graceland mansion. His death marked something significant in the collective mind, like the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, or Martin Luther King.
Conspiracy theories took off about the circumstances surrounding his death: Was Elvis murdered by the mob? Was his death faked? Did Elvis commit suicide? Is he still alive? This book sheds new light on many of these questions, while also celebrating his music and legacy.

Book Review - 'Marion Keisker: The Woman Who First Recorded Elvis Presley': Paul Belard's latest book is a detailed account of Marion Keisker's life and her key role in the Elvis story.
"That woman was the one who had faith she was the one that pushed me... Marion did it for me" - Elvis Presley 1971
.. Marion was Sam Phillips' assistant when he established the Memphis Recording Service, and later Sun Records.
She is best remembered as the first person to record Elvis in July 1953, then encouraging Sam Phillips (numerous times) to record him "commercially", therefore playing a pivotal role in Elvis' ascent towards the pinnacle of his career.
Throughout interviews given, Marion discloses the workings of Sun Records, the sessions, Elvis' moods during those first days of his career. There is a trove of little known or unknown anecdotes many fans will delight in.
This book is a fitting and well-deserved tribute to Marion Keisker.'

Packed full of great stories, rare photos and Marion's personal recollections this is a book that any Elvis fan should enjoy.
EIN's Piers Beagley spent some quality time enjoying this very fine tribute to one of the key inspirations behind the Elvis legacy...

(Book Review) 'Elvis UK Compact Volume 1 - The Ultimate Guide to Elvis Presley's British CDs 1983-2005' (John Townson & Gordon Minto): In 2021, the Elvis UK dynamic duo released the voluminous 1,400 page 'Elvis UK 3 The Ultimate Guide to Elvis Presley's British CDs 1983-2005 in digital "flipbook" format.
In 2025, we have the first of three "physical" volumes presenting the contents of the "flipbook".

'Elvis UK3' is an outstanding reference e-book, there is however a keen section of Elvis collectors who prefer to own physical books as opposed to digital versions.
While the original 1,400 page book was too large to print as a single volume, the author’s idea of splitting it into three volumes is a very clever idea.
Leafing through these 478 printed pages of 'Compact Volume 1' gave us another reason to dig deep into Elvis’ CD legacy and enjoying the fascination of some stunning Elvis releases.

'What was Elvis searching for?' EIN Spotlight: The question is raised – but never answered – in the title of HBO’s recent absorbing, imperfect documentary 'Elvis Presley: The Searcher'.
At the start it seems clear what the teenage Elvis was searching for – an escape from the oblivion of poverty in the American South. Yet his quest was cultural as well as financial.
Later Elvis read obsessively, seeking out such books as The Impersonal Life, Joseph Brenner’s guide to self-discovery and Kahil Gibran’s book of fables, The Prophet. In his copy of Gibran’s tome, Elvis jotted down the line: “A singer can sing his songs but he must have an ear to receive the song”.
So what exactly was Elvis searching for? In this fascinating EIN Spotlight respected author Paul Simpson takes a close look at this all important question which, for some reason, was basically ignored in the recent HBO documentary..
