July 20 - Clear Debut Vinyl

Due for release from an unknown record label on September 4, 2026 is a clear vinyl edition of Elvis' debut album. 

Description: It would be hard to find a more iconic album. It is Elvis Presley’s debut and stands as one of the very first albums in the history of rock (prior to this, the genre was consumed via singles). The cover art captures everything about Elvis- his good looks and raw energy - and would go on to be frequently imitated. 

For the future King of Rock and Roll, it marks the turning point between his rockabilly beginnings at Sun Records and a new life as a living legend. The tracklist documents this moment, featuring songs recorded over the course of a year, starting at SUN Records.

Elvis On Record

Elvis vinyl expert Paul Alner shared the cover art for the previously announced volume 3 in his 'Elvis on Record' discography series, asking his followers for reactions. He also shared several previews from records covered  in the book.

On the work-in-progress he author stated on his Facebook page: "My objective is to cover all U.K. vinyl from 1982 to the end of 2027. It is a mighty task with over 570 records to include. This was compounded by my desire to include the German pressed records from the 1980's that weren't pressed specifically for the UK but found themselves in our stores due to the European Customs union." 

This was preceded by a post stating: "With the recent releases of 'EPiC' on vinyl and the FTD double album of 'Clambake' it brings the total number of Elvis records released in the U.K. since January 1982 to a whopping 589! Work on volume 3 is in progress and so far 216 releases have been covered. With 400 pages already used it is inevitable that there will be a volume 3 and a volume 4."

July 10 - Elvis UK 33 ⅓ RPM Gold

Elvis authors and experts John Townson and Gordon Minto published 'Elvis UK 33 ⅓ RPM - The Ultimate Guide To Elvis Presley’s British LPs 1956-1962', the first of the five volume series that revisits and revised the original 1987 'ELVIS UK' book.

The authors stated: For those who have repeatedly requested a major revision to their original book 'Elvis UK', published in 1987, this new series focuses on the biggest section of that book - the UK LP section - though this new series will run to five volumes - an indication of how much detail has gone into each book.  

As you may be aware, the authors have been systematically revising and updating every major part of 'Elvis UK', and over the last few years have published standalone soft-backed books on 78rpm singles, EPs, non-RCA UK LP releases, and compact discs. Their most recent book, 'Cover Story', published in late 2025, focused on every aspect of album covers. Each book has been uniformly acclaimed by collectors.  

This first LP volume covers the period between March 1956 up to mid-1962 and runs for 462 pages. 

So, what can you expect to find in this book? While it is tempting to say ‘everything’, it must be stressed that it is not a discography (i.e. a simple list of releases), as is commonly understood, and nor is it simply a collection of record labels, album covers and other illustrations. It is much more than that. It is an in-depth narrative account of every album and the story behind it. In short, it is the definitive guide to Elvis’s UK album releases. It includes: 

• Every individual album release (including the three HMV albums) dealt with separately in forensic detail.
• Details of all the tracks included (titles, writers’ names) plus a swathe of background information, memorabilia and illustrations.
• Every album is carefully cross-referenced to later re-issues.
• A full song index, including modes, recording venues, take numbers and writers’ information.
• Many high-quality illustrations, photographs, plus a fascinating range of relevant memorabilia drawn from a host of sources, including record companies, along with material drawn from contemporaneous newspapers and magazines.
• Images of both sides of all known label and sleeve variations and a detailed explanation of the rationale behind each of them, along with key feature to aid identification.
• Details of label combinations, production errors, and other fascinating oddities that delight collectors! 

In short, this is the most comprehensive work ever undertaken on the subject.  If you are familiar with - and liked - previous Elvis UK books, then this should appeal to you also! 

For more details, prices and how to order, visit the author's webshop at >>> www.elvisukbooks.co.uk. The book will be available a week from now. 

Triple Platinum

The single 'American Trilogy' was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industries for selling over 400,000 copies (streams plus digital downloads plus physical sales) respectively since its re-release on November 16, 2004. This marks the fifth certification for 2026.

Review Elvis - The King Collected

The Dutch Vinyl Champ record label released a red colored LP titled 'Elvis - The King Collected' on red colored vinyl in 2025 - exclusively through the Lidl stores - and re-issued that album earlier this year through the usual sales channels. 

Now the label releases a Deluxe Box with the same title, holding five LPs and a hardcover book using the same title. Is this a release worthy of a Champion label?

Design

The cardboard box comes with a classy photo of Elvis on the cover, adding to the Deluxe presentation. On the back is the tracklisting for the five LPs, hardcover book and poster.

The LP-sized 40-page hardcover book covers the first years of Elvis' career - from 1954 to 1962 - and rise to fame, mainly through a neat presentation of a plethora of memorabilia like records, posters, advertisements, toys, newspaper clippings, sheet music and more. Some images show the effect of too many filters trying to polish them a little. Interesting to see a page dedicated to the faces of the people who recorded the originals for the songs featured on the Gospel LP in this set.

Next to that, the themes of the five LPs are explored in greater depth, with one page dedicated to each LP. The ardent fan may spot an occasional error, but the bigger picture presented in this coffee-table style book covers the basics in a positive way.

Each LP comes with its own cover artwork, matching the theme of the album. All the LPs in this set come on black and blue marbled vinyl, with the artwork of the label matching the design of the LPs.

In the back of the book we get the A2-sized poster, replicating the artwork of the aforementioned single LP. If you put this on your wall the message is clear, “Elvis is the King” and “here lives a fan!”. 

Content

How to curate a collection of Elvis Presley’s (early) work? The producers of this set chose five themes: ‘Elvis with the Jordanaires’, ‘Elvis Goes Country’, ‘Elvis The Love Album’, ‘Elvis Sings Gospel’ and ‘Elvis Plays Rhythm and Blues’ with 18 to 20 songs matching the theme of the LP.

By 1962, little over six years into his recording career, Elvis’ body of work was already too diverse to cover with “just” five themes, as there are his soundtrack recordings, the Christmas Classics, the Rockabilly, Rock and Roll and pop hits.

The producers solved this nicely by including all these genres naturally. Rock and Roll came from Country and Rhythm and Blues, so these are covered, although I wouldn’t have added ‘Girls! Girls! Girls!’ in the latter category or include ‘Blue Suede Shoes’ on a Country album. Here I expect a song about some worn-down country boots.

‘Hound Dog’ on the Rhythm and Blues is a natural fit, knowing where Big Mama Thornton came from, and the two Christmas songs fit in nicely on the Gospel LP. But we get ‘Hound Dog’ also on the album with the Jordanaires. ‘Don’t’, ‘One Night’, ‘Return To Sender’ and ‘Have I Told You Lately’ are featured twice on the five discs too. No reason to grab a box and write ‘Return To Sender’ on it, but these duplications are a little sloppy.

I did like the fact that the producers put the spotlight on The Jordanaires. They were an essential part of Elvis’ sound, and therefore his career, playing that opening disc made me appreciate that once more.

Conclusion

The set offers an entertaining introduction to the world of Elvis Presley as the producers curated a good overview of his first years. The design and presentation with the colorful coffee-table book and colored vinyl more than outweigh the errors a more experienced fan will spot. 

This is a great set to give to a new fan, I'm sure he will feel like a King receiving it.

July 04 - An Exclusive Book

The VV import record label announced the release of various Deluxe "Test" Pressing Editions of their recent 'Free Bird' release, limited to six sets. Th LP features Elvis' December 14, 1975 10.00 PM Cocktail Show performance at the Las Vegas Hilton and a 7-inch single containing recordings from the December 13, 1975 Midnight Show performance.

Publicity stated: We have produced three different sets with two different layouts. Each set consists of three gatefold sleeves, and by joining the spines you get the VV logo or a photo of Elvis on stage. Each gatefold contains one of the 18 color variations created during the production of the original first edition. Added to that is an OBI and an exclusive cardboard panel.

Accompanying the LPs are singles housed in an 8-inch Deluxe Sleeve; these are limited to six sets too. Each set consists of five digipack variations, and when you join the spines of the digipacks you get the words 'Free Bird' or 'Elvis'. The digipack further contains a forex panel, a poster, the vinyl single, and, as an extra bonus, a vinyl-CDR.

And since we also received eight spare vinyl copies in blue, yellow, and white colored vinyl without a sleeve, we decided to create something unique, a Limited Edition Poster Sleeve Edition! 

We designed a 180 by 62 cm poster sleeve that holds two LPs, the single, and the bonus CD, featuring a cover design created especially for this Exclusive Hand-Numbered Edition. A classic protective plastic sleeve protects the contents.

An Army Trilogy Vol. 1

German author Andreas Roth announced that his third book, titled 'An Army Trilogy Vol. 1' has been released. 

Publicity stated: The hardcover book covers the period from Elvis' pre-induction physical to the end of his first month in Germany with photos of Elvis during basic training in Texas (doing calisthenics; at the shooting range; at the dentist's), Elvis' only recording session wearing an army uniform, the King's only concert at sea, Elvis' first holiday pass in Germany, Elvis at Bill Haley's concerts in Frankfurt and Mannheim and more.

On circa 240 pages with the text in German and English, illustrated with over 300 black and white and several color photographs.

The author previously published the books 'The Ultimate Elvis in Munich Book' and 'An Army Trilogy Vol. 2' in 2004 and 2015 respectively.

Rock and Roll Hero

The German Blue-Line records label announced the June 26, 2026 release of the LP 'Rock and Roll Hero'. 

Description: Experience the sheer vocal power of Elvis Presley in his most soulful years. This LP is a journey through the mid-70s, showcasing a mature artist who still commanded every stage he stepped on. 

From the finger-snapping coolness of 'Fever' to the iconic nostalgia of the 'Teddy Bear / Don't Be Cruel' medley, this record covers the full spectrum of Elvis's talent. A standout is the gritty 'Steamroller Blues', where the King proves why he reigned supreme over the blues-rock genre. These years (1974-1976) are beloved by fans for their emotional depth and grand arrangements. 

Whether you are a lifelong member of the TCB crowd or a new collector, this vinyl offers a rich, warm sound that digital can't replicate.

Side A: All Shook Up / Why Me Lord / Love Me Tender / Hound Dog / Fever / Suspicious Minds / I Can't Stop Loving You / Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Side B: CC Rider / Can't Help Falling In Love / Teddy Bear - Don't Be Cruel / Big Boss Man / You Gave Me A Mountain / Trying To Get To You / Hurt / Steamroller Blues.

The LP is available for pre-order from >>> Amazon.
