January 12 - Almanaque Elvis 2025

Three years ago Brazilian author Waldenir Cecon followed in the footsteps of 'Elvis Day by Day' and published the first 'Almanaque Elvis'. Today he announced the February 2025 release of the 2025 edition. 

Publicity stated: Our annual edition, Elvis Almanac, arrives in February with even more unmissable content for fans.

In a 19 x 27 cm format and with over 160 pages, the 'Elvis Almanac 2025' presents a complete overview of everything released worldwide in 2025 related to Elvis Presley. Books, LPs, CDs, videos, and general news are gathered in a carefully curated selection, making it easy to keep track of the hundreds of releases that appear every year.

In addition to the great annual retrospective, the edition features selected special articles, delving into key moments in Elvis's life and career, with information, analysis, and trivia for those who want to learn even more about the King of Rock.

If you're looking for the original Elvis Presley yearbook, with 480 pages of "everything Elvis Presley from 2025", including over 75 reviews, interviews and other articles by Elvis fans and experts, visit the >>> Poplar Tunes website for all details. 

This book is due late January, early February 2025.

Remembering Lisa Marie Presley

As we continue to share stories about Elvis Presley, we pause a moment to remember Lisa Marie Presley because today marks exactly three years since she left us. 

Let's remember Lisa Marie today as a beautiful, independent woman who, with the Presley family name, couldn't lead an ordinary life. She is deeply missed and always remembered.
