<span style='font-size:11pt;line-height:100%'>Elvis : The Documentaries</span>

On November 1st, 2005 from J.A.T. Publishing comes Elvis The Documentaries. Joseph Tunzi has put together a beautiful 136-page photo journal that will take you into Elvis Presley's two acclaimed documentaries, including That's The Way It Is, and Golden Globe winner Elvis On Tour.

We were lucky to obtain earlier this week a preview copy of his upcoming book. This project contains about 228 pictures, some memorabilia pages, documents related to these two movies, details on the studio sessions, rehearsals, live recordings and filmings of these two documentaries. The text part of the book is similar to '' Sessions III '' in its presentation and has been updated.

The layout of the book is different than previous books from J.A.T. Publishing and overall quite nice I may add. There's also some additions to the book since it contains a nice unpublished publicity photograph from the movie '' Change Of Habit ''. The section on the movie '' T.T.W.I.I. '' is about 64 pages and features photographs from all the rehearsals and all the shows up to August 14th, 1970 midnight show excepted for the August 13th, 1970 midnight show. This section of the book is completed with photographs of the first show of the September 1970 tour in Phoenix, AZ.

The '' Elvis On Tour '' section features as well numerous pictures taken during the filming of this project. There are shots from different locations such as Hampton Rds, VA. evening show, Richmond, VA, Indianapolis, IN, Greensboro, NC, Macon ,GA ( both shows ), Jacksonville, FL ( both shows ), San Antonio, TX, Albuquerque, NM and finally some from the August 4th, 1972 opening and August 5th, 1972 in Las Vegas.

Elvis The Documentaries has some pictures we have seen before ( not that many though ) but fitting perfectly into the concept of this project, the front cover shot used on the album '' That's The Way It Is '' being a good example here. However a lot of captures are seen for the very first time, and nicely reproduced on a good quality glossy paper. The color section at the end has photos from both projects. It will make a nice addition to your book collection, and moreover a handy reference book pertaining to these two great projects into Elvis' career and legacy.

Elvis The Documentaries will be available through this website. You can also order and obtain more details on this book directly from their website at www.jatpublishing.com .

The color section at the end has photos from both projects.

"Color section" - echt. Also Tunzi saugt mit seinen schwarz/weiß Bildbänden. Ich kauf das nicht. Als wäre die "Color Section" was tolles. Ist es nicht. Es ist crap.

Wie kann man einen Bildband veröffentichen, in dem man alle Farbfotos in schwarz/weiß abdruckt?

Erste Review von FECC:

Elvis The Documentaries
by JAT Publishing

We received recently the new book from J.A.T. Publishing titled Elvis The Documentaries. Joseph Tunzi has put together a beautiful 136-page photo journal that will take you into Elvis Presley's two acclaimed documentaries, including That's The Way It Is, and Golden Globe winner Elvis On Tour. His latest book comes with a soft cover and pretty much in the same vein as ‘’ Standing Room Only ‘’ quality wise.

From the start I thought it was a great idea to have a book on these two documentaries. We did get one from FTD on the movie ‘’ That’s The Way It Is ‘’ but the concept was somewhat different. The latter also provided some information albeit the picture section was basically a ‘’ collection of photograph ‘’ in no particular order and undated as such. The last project from J.A.T. Publishing has all the pictures dated and in chronological order, which in my book is a big plus and makes it very interesting. On top of it Elvis The Documentaries is quite complete as it covers a lot of grounds on both subject, and very accurate too as far as dating photographs is concerned.

This project contains about 228 pictures, some memorabilia pages, documents related to both movies, details on the studio sessions, rehearsals, live recordings and filmings of these two documentaries. The text part is similar to '' Sessions III '' in its presentation and has been updated. Obviously the changes into this section aren’t major, yet the biggest changes come into the information on what has been filmed. Several performances filmed weren’t included in ‘’ Sessions III ‘’ and now featured into this book.

The layout of the book is different than previous books from J.A.T. Publishing and overall quite nice I may add. The book layout and design was done by Jimmy Carpenter, and in my view did a great job on this. There's also some additions to the book since it contains a nice unpublished publicity photograph from the movie '' Change Of Habit '', Elvis' last film before doing '' T.T.W.I.I. '' . The section on Elvis' first documentary is about 64 pages and features photographs from all the rehearsals and all the shows up to August 14th, 1970 midnight show excepted for the August 13th, 1970 midnight show. This section is completed with photographs of the first show of the September 1970 tour in Phoenix, AZ.

The '' Elvis On Tour '' section also features numerous pictures taken during the filming of this project. There are shots from different locations such as Hampton Rds, VA. evening show, Richmond, VA, Indianapolis, IN, Greensboro, NC, Macon ,GA ( both shows ), Jacksonville, FL ( both shows ), San Antonio, TX, Albuquerque, NM and finally some from the August 4th, 1972 opening and August 5th, 1972 in Las Vegas. This is also a nice addition to have some pics taken in San Antonio, TX on April 18th, 1972 while the crew is setting up for filming the show that night, including a few shots of filmmaker Pierre Adidge on the stage.

As an example many fans wouldn’t be able to recognize a picture taken in San Antonio, TX versus others taken at the evening show in Macon, GA, and much lesser others in the same stage outfit from the Roanoke, VA concert, now they will be able to note the differences. Some fans wouldn’t care for such details but it has at least the merits of being done right. Personally a picture book with nice photographs wrongly dated is a big turn off, and on this matter Elvis The Documentaries was carefully researched. I wished we had shots from every concert of the April 1972 tour but sometimes what we hope for isn’t always possible.

Elvis The Documentaries contains some pictures we have seen before but fitting perfectly into the concept of this project, the front cover shot used on the album '' That's The Way It Is '' being a good example here. However while thumbing through Elvis The Documentaries a lot of captures are seen for the very first time, and nicely reproduced on a good quality glossy paper. The color section at the end has photos from both projects, and no doubts it would had been nice to have a bit more in color although many were strictly taken in black and white.

The retail price of this book might possibly turn off some fans but Elvis The Documentaries will make a nice addition to your book collection, and moreover a handy well researched reference book pertaining to these two great projects into Elvis' career and legacy.

Mich würden v. a. die Angaben zu gefilmten Sachen von On Tour interessieren! Die hat er sich wohl extra aufgehoben und nicht in Sessions III veröffentlicht, um auch noch Käufer für dieses Werk zu gewinnen!

Wieviel bezahlt ihr bei eurem Händler für dieses Buch ?

Habe das Buch bei Ebay für 44 EURO sofortkaufen gesehen.Wurde vom Collectors Service angeboten.Ich bekomme es etwas günstiger;bei dem angebotenen Buch müssen ja auch 12 % Verkaufsprovision gezahlt werden.

Hat das Buch mittlerweile jemand? Wenn ja wie ist es denn?
