Once again, a beautiful issue featuring captivating stories and reviews. Including how Elvis rose from poverty to wealth and presented himself as a benefactor. 

Also, a wonderful interview from 1978 (a year after Elvis’ death) with Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis’ manager, and a beautiful look at 1970, viewed by many as the best year of Elvis’ career.

And as the icing on the cake, an article about the 1973 deal, the year Elvis sold his entire music catalog to record label RCA. This and much more will soon be on members’ doorsteps.
