Boxcar Enterprises in association with JAT Publishing announced that they will release the 40th Year Anniversary special book, in celebration of Elvis' iconic 'Aloha from Hawaii' titled, "Elvis: Aloha via Satellite" in April 2013.From the press-release:
This massive most comprehensive 450 page volume is packaged and housed the same as Boxcar's previous outing of 'Elvis Presley's Graceland through the Years' released earlier this year.
The text book comprises of hundreds upon hundreds of photographs many of which have never before been seen. Also collected here exclusively are scores of historical memorabilia and the Colonel's original internal documents and scripts. This is intended to create a 'time-travel' experience of sorts documenting the most groundbreaking event in the annals of television history.
On January 14th 1973 'Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii: Via Satellite' was the first live concert to be televised live with a global viewing audience of 1.5 Billion. An audience larger than man's first landing on the moon! From the 'making of' to the show itself, the reader enjoys reliving the magic of this extraordinary event and is sufficiently reminded that 1,500,000,000 Elvis fans can't be wrong!
The Alfred Wertheimer book "Elvis and the Birth of Rock and Roll" is getting a new re-release for 2013.
Originally published in September 2012, the book had a limited edition print run of just 1,500 copies. The 300 page hardback book was way out of the reach of the average Elvis fan with each one selling for a huge p £435.00 (US$678).
Described by the publisher as: "Trailing him like a shadow," Wertheimer was given unlimited access to get up close and personal with Elvis; even as the singer was seducing young women in dark hallways, he allowed the photographer to record his every move. Wertheimer took nearly 3,000 photographs of Elvis in 1956 creating a penetrating portrait of a man poised on the brink of superstardom. Extraordinary in its intimacy and un-paralleled in it's scope, Wertheimer's Elvis project immortalized a young man in the very process of making history.
