November 30 - Elvis '56 Blu-ray

Lightyear Entertainment is preparing a Collector's Edition Blu-ray of Alan and Susan Raymond's made-for-TV film 'Elvis '56' (1987). The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on February 6. 

Description: 1956 was Elvis Presley's breakthrough year, and this program takes you back, including his early television performances on the Dorsey Brothers Show and the Ed Sullivan Show (where the cameramen were instructed not to shoot the lower half of his body!). 

This remastered Blu-ray has an entire hour of rare footage and performances captured during the amazing year when Elvis Presley became not only a star, but a phenomenon. So slip on your blue suede shoes and step back to the beginning of an era, with rare early recordings and never-before-seen footage. Narrated by The Band's Levon Helm. Directed and Produced by Oscar-winning directors Alan and Susan Raymond.

Including iconic photos by the photographer who toured with Elvis that year (Al Wertheimer) who captured many intimate moments from this one year.
