Elvis In Vegas' Book Update


Paul Lichter's "Elvis In Vegas" book will be in book stores on September 29, 2011 and is presently being offered for $23.10 instead of the retail price of $35.00 by Amazon. As had been reported on websites for the past couple of years this book was to be 600 pages and 1,000 photographs. Owing to the recent bankruptcy of Borders Books in the US and the worldwide poor economy the book is now being released in hardback with 388 pages, 300 colour photographs and 75 black/white. The extensive souvenir section is where most of the editing has occurred. This section contained over 300 pieces of Vegas memorabilia and may be released in the future as a separate book. Paul Lichter's Elvis in Vegas features extensive text on all of Elvis' Las Vegas experiences as well as detailed and comprehensive information on every show, every song and every jumpsuit plus incredible rare and, in many cases, unseen photographs.



Still Problems For Spanox?


Although the Italian DJ Spankox released a new remix single and announced the release of a new remix compilation his legal problems with EPE and Sony BMG are not yet over. The record company took care of their business and took the video of the new "Big Boots" remix off-line.
