Book Releases
Joseph A. Tunzi's JAT Productions released two new books; "The Definitive Vinyl Artwork of Elvis Presley 1956-1977" and "From St. Paul to Fort Wayne". The latter is a photobook on Elvis Presley's performances in St. Paul, Minnesota, October 1974 and Fort Wayne, Indiana from Oktober 25, 1976. Planes Taking Off?
The two jets that once belonged to Elvis which have been displayed at Graceland for years could be destined for a museum, if the group that owns the planes has its way. OKC Partnership, which owns two once belonging to Elvis Presley, wants to build a museum near Graceland for the planes.
OKC Partnership, which owns the Lisa Marie and Hound Dog II jets, has applied to the Office of Planning and Development for a planned development to allow a museum featuring Elvis Presley’s airplanes at 3850 Elvis Presley Blvd. The museum would be located on a vacant lot that was formerly home to Covenant Presbyterian Church.
Last year, EPE asked OKC Partnership to remove the jets from Graceland by this spring. The partnership and EPE entered into an agreement years ago that gave OKC a share of ticket sales in return for keeping the planes there. But EPE CEO Jack Soden sent a letter to the partnership last year saying EPE was exercising its option to end the agreement and asking the planes’ owner "to make arrangements for the removal of the airplanes and the restoration of the site on or shortly after April 26, 2015."
