July 20 - It's Elvis Time in Poland

The Dutch It's Elvis Time fanclub announced the publication of the Summer Edition of their self-titled magazine. 

Volume 311, currently at the printers, holds an extensive story about Elvis's death in August 1977 and the events that followed. Added to that is a wrap-up of the news, an interesting review of the  'Elvis June '75' CD-set and part 2 of 'Nashville Revisited 1970'. Also included is a review of the latest 'Elvis UK' by yours truly.

The magazine also investigates how some of Elvis' songs - rebellious, exciting, and sometimes even transgressive back in the day - would hold up with today's standards.
