The Golden Boy Magazine

Volume #2/2025 of the German glossy 'Golden Boy Elvis' magazine has been published, with a fragment of Betty Harper's recently revealed mural at Elvis' Birthplace as the cover.

Inside the 60-page magazine we get a wrap-up of the latest news and insightful articles on Elvis as a style icon (a follow-up from the article in volume #4/2024), a fan portrait, a goodbye to almost 10 people with a relation to the Elvis world, including a heartfelt tribute to David Briggs through memories shared by Rio, who gained surprising insights during recording sessions at David Briggs' "House of David" studio.

Added to that are a detailed analysis of FTD's 'Elvis June '75' CD set, a report on the club's recent trip to the U.S., the ongoing series "Songs from A - Z" with songs like 'Earth Angel' and 'Early Morning Rain,' and a detailed look at one of the most successful 45s in Germany, 'Devil In Disguise / Please Don't Drag That String Around,' and more. This new volume will keep me engrossed until the weekend!
