September 19 - Golden Boy Magazine

The new Golden Boy Elvis magazine has been published. The German A4-sized glossy magazine features many interesting reads and reviews. Some of the new titles covered with in-depth reviews are 'Sunset Boulevard' 5-CD-set, the 'Elvis '57' book and the Harum Scarum Sessions'. These reviews make great weekend reading.

Added to that are articles by Elvis experts on authenticating Elvis (getting to know Liberace from a new side), then-and-now pictures of Elvis in New Orleans, walking in the King's footsteps, an interview with Dutch artist Sabine van Haren on the art of making Elvis, curious Korean vinyl pressings, news and much more. 

'Golden Boy Elvis' is available at many Elvis dealers, as well as directly from the publisher.

King Creole

The French RDM-Edition record label officially released their Stereo Version of Elvis' 'King Creole' soundtrack on CD and as a 10-inch vinyl LP. Copies had slipped out to the first fans the past two weeks.

Description: While the recent 4 CD box 'Presley - The Essential '50's Masters' has received positive reviews, it were the 'King Creole' recordings that received particular praise. The soundtrack from Elvis's fourth film has been one of the fans' favorites for many years. 

Consequently, requests for a vinyl version featuring the new stereo mixes from the 'Presley' box set began to circulate. We wanted to offer fans who had already purchased the 'Presley' box set a totally "new" listening experience, and that's why the songs are presented here exactly as they are heard in the film, with the Movie Versions of  'Turtles, Berries and Gumbo - King Creole Instrumental - Crawfish', 'Steadfast, Loyal and True', 'Lover Doll', 'New Orleans' and 'King Creole'. All other songs are newly created Stereo Record Masters.

This vinyl is available in a Limited Edition of 200 copies. A CD version is also available in digisleeve, with 5 additional tracks and a slightly different cover from the vinyl.

Go to the RDM-Edition webshop for the >>> vinyl edition or for the >>> CD edition. On the record label's website you can also listen to previews of all the songs.
