The details of the book and option to pre-order will be posted on the author's website www.elvisukbooks.co.uk.
Publicity stated: Originally published as a downloadable flipbook in 2022, this volume of 'Elvis UK' will shortly be available – ‘by popular demand’ - as a print copy version. It is an invaluable adjunct to each of the other Elvis UK books in the series. Importantly though, in all major ways this print version is almost identical to the digital one with the exception that this version has a newly written Foreword and includes closing remarks (And Finally …) which means a couple of pages have been added, thus increasing the page count slightly.
This slightly modified 291 page, fully-comprehensive soft-backed book, provides the ultimate guide to every aspect of Elvis’s EP and LP album sleeves released in the UK between 1956-1977. It adds to, complements - and expands greatly in forensic detail - a lot of the information originally included in our original book 'Elvis UK' (1987) - and much more besides!
- Extensively illustrated in full colour.
- Arranged in 20 discrete sections, this book addresses an extraordinarily wide range of topics including back cover photographs, printing companies, sleeve notes, adverts, and many other areas of interest, etc.
- There are also extended sections including Front Cover – Fact File, and For UK Fans Only, an in-depth study of those albums that originated in the UK, or were only ever available in the UK
- And, as readers have come to expect from Elvis UK publications, there is a wealth of well-researched and accurate background information and illustrations incorporated into the text, all of which has an application at some point to each of our other books in the 'Elvis UK' series – providing a one-stop reference point for this information.
The print copy of Cover Story costs £40 and can only be ordered via our website >>> Elvis UK Books website. You can also find details of all their other recent publications: 'Elvis UK' (digital copy only), 'Elvis UK2', 'Beyond RCA', 'Extended', '78 RPM' and, most recently, the three volumes of 'Compact'. Each of them highly acclaimed.
