July 24 - Elvis The Early Years

Vintage Rock published the Elvis special magazien 'Elvis The Early Years'. 

Publicity for the magazine stated: We pay tribute to the King's Imperial Phase, when America was first seduced by the raw charisma of Elvis Aaron Presley. We delve into his back catalogue to examine his iconic first two albums, and we run down his 20 best tracks from the 50s. 

We also have features on Elvis’ parents, Vernon and Gladys, plus The Jordanaires, Sun boss Sam Phillips, the Louisiana Hayride, the Million Dollar Quartet, the King’s army years, the Jailhouse Rock film and much, much more!

The Elvis Information Network noted: while 'Elvis The Early Years' does feature some articles repeated from Anthem publishing's previous 2018 'The Elvis Years Vol.1' it is not the same magazine and the majority of the articles are new.
