Die Autoren der "Elvis UK"-Discographiebücher, John Townson und Gordon Minto, wollen nun das 2022 schon angekündigte Buch "Elvis UK - Cover Story: The Ultimate Guide To Elvis Presley's British EP And LP Sleeves 1956 - 1977") Ende November / Anfang Dezember 2025 veröffentlichen.
Ankündigung:
"Originally published as a downloadable flipbook in 2022, this volume of 'Elvis UK' will shortly be available – ‘by popular demand’ - as a print copy version. It is an invaluable adjunct to each of the other Elvis UK books in the series. Importantly though, in all major ways this print version is almost identical to the digital one with the exception that this version has a newly written Foreword and includes closing remarks (And Finally …) which means a couple of pages have been added, thus increasing the page count slightly.
This slightly modified 291 page, fully-comprehensive soft-backed book, provides the ultimate guide to every aspect of Elvis’s EP and LP album sleeves released in the UK between 1956-1977. It adds to, complements - and expands greatly in forensic detail - a lot of the information originally included in our original book 'Elvis UK' (1987) - and much more besides!
- Extensively illustrated in full colour.
- Arranged in 20 discrete sections, this book addresses an extraordinarily wide range of topics including back cover photographs, printing companies, sleeve notes, adverts, and many other areas of interest, etc.
- There are also extended sections including Front Cover – Fact File, and For UK Fans Only, an in-depth study of those albums that originated in the UK, or were only ever available in the UK
- And, as readers have come to expect from Elvis UK publications, there is a wealth of well-researched and accurate background information and illustrations incorporated into the text, all of which has an application at some point to each of our other books in the 'Elvis UK' series – providing a one-stop reference point for this information."

Für den Dezember 2025 wird das zweibändige Set "FTD World 1999 - 2025" angekündigt und in diesem werden alle Veröffentlichungen des Sammlerlabels "Follow That Dream" der Jahre 1999 bis 2025 enthalten sein.
Jedes Volume umfasst 152 Seiten, erscheint im A4-Format als Taschenbuch, mit englischem Text und verschiedenste Fotos zu den einzelnen Veröffentlichungen.
Ankündigung:
"In 1999, 22 years after Elvis' death, a new label, FTD (Follow That Dream), was founded for avid Elvis fans who wanted more than just official releases. FTD releases were available through fan clubs and Elvis dealers around the world, and were extremely well-received from the start. The variety of releases gradually expanded to include not only CDs but also LP records, books, and box sets. As of late 2025, over 280 FTD titles have been released.
We have compiled all 281 FTD titles in these two books, from 'Burbank 68', released in 1999, to the most recent, 'Good Times - The Outtakes' 2025 re-issue on Ocean Blue colored vinyl. The books are divided into seven sections, as follows: Studio Outtakes (16 titles); Live, Rehearsals, and Private Recordings (87); Classic Albums (40); Soundtracks (31); Books (40); Sessions (16); and Vinyl Records (52).
As far as possible, within each section, we have arranged each release in order of recording date. (There is also a chronological list by release date at the end of volume 2) For each release, we have included as much information as possible in the limited space available, including engineer names (where known), catalog numbers, release dates, track listings, recording data, and a few short paragraphs of information about the music.
We have also included a useful list of Elvis’ concert dates from 1969 to 1977, highlighting the FTD titles that have come from them, as well as other important official live releases. At a glance, you can see how well represented each tour and engagement is in terms of official releases.
Both books contain many beautiful photographs related to their respective titles. We believe that these books will please all Elvis fans, from new devotees to long-term, die-hards. We hold the FTD label in high regard, feel immense gratitude for the releases they’ve given us, and hope for its continued success in the future."

ISBN: 9798217048021Zum 50. Jahrestag erschien am 16.09.2025 Grail Marcus´ 528 Seiten starkes Buch aus dem Jahr 1975 als Neuauflage unter dem Titel "Mystery Train - Images Of America In Rock ´n´ Roll Music" mit aktualisierter Diskographie und einer neuen Einleitung.
Ankündigung des Verlages:
"A 50th anniversary edition of the music classic, with fully updated discographies and new introductions from Greil Marcus and Dwight Garner.
In this special 50th anniversary edition of the beloved Plume backlist staple first released in 1975, Mystery Train's complex analysis of the relationship between rock 'n' roll music and America is given new life with updated discographies and new introductions by Greil Marcus and Dwight Garner.
Rather than providing a general overview of influential bands and artists, Marcus's definitive book focuses on just six: virtually unknown early rock 'n' roller Harmonica Frank; the country blues singer Robert Johnson; and some of the better-known musicians who followed—The Band, Sly Stone, Randy Newman, and Elvis Presley.
This is the original book to take these rock legends and place them in the American culture of their time. And now, in 2025, Mystery Train continues its groundbreaking work for a new generation of readers and music lovers."

Mit neuem Cover veröffentlicht "Omnibus Press" im Rahmen der "Remastered Collection" am 19.05.2026 das von Simon Goddard verfasste Buch "The Comeback: Elvis And The Story Of The `68 Special" und kündigt dies mit folgenden Worten an:
"As 1968 dawns, the once King of Rock 'n' Roll faces cultural oblivion. While elsewhere the Sixties are swinging, for Elvis they're sinking- in terrible films, drug addiction, paranoia, religious mania and the mercenary wiles of his psychopathic manager. In the words of the hip young director assigned to his first TV special, Elvis' reputation was "in the toilet." However the same director, Steve Binder, was now about to save it. Together they would embark on the biggest creative fight of Elvis' life.
'The Comeback' plots the incredible true story of Elvis' fall and rise from Army discharge to iconic black leather resurrection. Simon Goddard takes the reader inside the life, music and mind of Elvis, isolated from an America unravelling in its own Sixties chaos of war, racism, riots and assassinations, until his world and theirs collide in the greatest performance of his life.
A genre-busting modernist Rock 'n' Roll fable unlike any music biography you've ever read, 'The Comeback' is the definitive account of how it took Elvis eight years on the big screen to lose his crown - but just one magical hour on a small one to win it back."
