September 07 - The Dutch Secret Behind Elvis

The Belgian ElvisMatters fanclub released the 2009 TV-documentary 'Dries van Kuijk – Het Nederlandse Geheim Achter Elvis' ('Dries van Kuijk – The Dutch Secret Behind Elvis') on DVD. 

Publicity stated: With the upcoming release of our magazine ELVIS (No. 89), you will receive as a member free and exclusively the DVD 'Dries van Kuijk – Het Nederlandse Geheim Achter Elvis.' This documentary, made by Jorrit van der Kooi, was originally broadcasted by Veronica TV in 2009 to commemorate the 100th birthday of Dries van Kuijk, better known as Colonel Parker. This documentary has never appeared on DVD before, and that makes this release unique.

In the documentary we see unique interviews with Loanne Parker, the Colonel's widow, who spoke extensively about her husband for the first time in 2008. Family members such as Ad van Kuijk Jr. and Rien van Gurp also speak, as well as colleagues and acquaintances like Ed Bonja and John Wilkinson. The result is a candid and revealing portrait of the Dutch emigrant who decisively shaped Elvis Presley's career.

This DVD is exclusively available to ElvisMatters members and will not be sold separately anywhere. It is also a Limited Edition. If you are a member, you will automatically receive the DVD together with the latest ELVIS magazine.

To obtain this DVD, you can join the >>> ElvisMatters fanclub through their website.
