ISBN: 9798990339033Mit einem Vorwort von Albert Lee und geschrieben von Jim Berkenstadt wird das 170 Seiten starke Buch "Elvis Presley: Conversations With Scotty Moore" mit folgenden Worten angekündigt:
"July 4, 1954, was no ordinary Independence Day. It was the day a young delivery truck driver named Elvis Presley walked into guitarist Scotty Moore’s Memphis living room to sing, and change popular music forever. Only three men were there: Elvis, Scotty, and bassist Bill Black. From that moment came a new kind of independence for American youth: the birth of Rock and Roll.
In 'Elvis Presley: Conversations with Scotty Moore', Elvis’s first guitarist, manager, and close confidante, reveals how a shy kid from Memphis became the King of Rock and Roll.
Scotty recalls their early days at Memphis Recording Service, the wild tours, tangling with Colonel Tom Parker, making Hollywood films, and Elvis’ historic 1968 Comeback Special. Scotty’s pioneering guitar work on Presley’s records inspired a generation of great guitar slingers. This is Scotty Moore’s personal, inside story of the man - and the music - that set the world on fire."

Volume 3 und letztes aus der "Elvis - The King Of The Rings"-Reihe von Paul Belard erscheint dieser Tage und wird mit folgenden Worten angekündigt:
Ankündigung:
"Elvis possessed an innate gift for standing apart from the crowd, a trait evident from the very beginning of his career. His long hair, famous sideburns, and bold, colorful wardrobe projected an image that was both distinctive and defiant. As the years passed - particularly during the 1970s - his appearance grew increasingly lavish and, at times, extravagantly so. Fitting for the man who came to be known as the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis adopted a regal style both on and off the stage.
As noted in the first two volumes of 'The King of the Rings', his taste for finery extended far beyond clothing. He adorned himself with an impressive array of jewelry, rings, necklaces, bracelets, and other accessories in such abundance that it often seemed he never wore the same combination twice.
Elvis’s desire to surround himself with beautiful things was matched only by his eagerness to give them away. Family members, friends, and even complete strangers became beneficiaries of his extraordinary generosity. Whether driven by a genuine spirit of giving or by the pleasure he found in making others happy, he took great joy in presenting gifts and sharing his good fortune with those around him."

Paul Alner veröffentlichte zu seinem nächsten Buch in der "Elvis On Record - The Definitive Guide To UK Record Releases"-Reihe das Cover und schrieb auf seinem facebook-Account:
"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."

John Townson und Gordon Minto veröffentlichen den ersten Band aus der fünfteiligen Serie "Elvis UK - 33 1⁄3 r.p.m. - The Ultimate Guide To Elvis Presleys British LPs". Dieser Band umfasst die Jahre 1956 bis 1962 und wird mit folgenden Worten angekündigt:
"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!"
