October 26 - Delayed and Postponed - Updated

The release of Erik Lorentzen's 'Portraits Volumes 3 and 4' books are delayed once again. The release has been postponed from "late October 2025" to "before Christmas". Both books in the 'Portraits' series were originally scheduled for a release in December 2024. Only three months ago the publisher was advertising that the two 'Portraits' books would be out "any day now".

The '1967 Clambake - Behind The Scenes' book / vinyl set that also includes two LPs in separate gatefold sleeves, has been pushed back from late "October, early November 2025" to "before Christmas".

Also delayed are other titles on the horizon: 'King Creole: The Disputed Territories of 1950s American Youth Culture - Cinema and Youth Cultures' by Anthony Thomas McKenna, 'Rethinking Elvis' by the late Mark Duffett and 'Elvis Presley Memorabilia: From Private Collections Around The World' by Stephen Shutts and Lyndell Morris. The latter was originally due for publication in the second quarter of 2025, but is currently still in the graphic designing stage.

The Gravel Road import release double LP Edition of of 'A Study of Elvis Presley's In Concert' has been postponed from late October to late November 2026 due to a delay at the record pressing factory.  

This version of the well-known concert comes without the fan comments and with the addition of the previously missing, impressive 'Unchained Melody'. All done with the same technique as in 1977. Also, the set list has been re-arranged to have a correct set list of Omaha with some extra songs from Rapid City in the right spot. The LP is available from >>> Bennies webshop.
