Elvis Day By Day 2024 - Softcover
In 1954, Elvis came crashing through the doors of popular music, and he hasn't stopped rocking since. This new Elvis yearbook is the proof of that! Packed into a colorful 480 pages is all the relevant news of what happened in the Elvis world. It serves as a guide, and reference book about Elvis from all corners of the world in 2024.
'Elvis Day By Day 2024' features all the news, including a complete overview of all new music, available on CD and on vinyl at 33, 45, and even 78 RPM. Additionally, it covers all the worthwhile books and magazines, all the movies and TV specials released on DVD, Blu-ray, and streaming services. Plus “everything else Elvis” that mattered, while skipping the nonsense.
Highlights include the true story about the ‘That’s All Right’ acetate as played by Dewey Phillips on WHBQ in July 1954. The tale of the scam to “steal Graceland" and of course an in-depth look at Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir as completed by her daughter Riley Keough. Added to that is a complete day-by-day overview of all the Sony, Follow That Dream, and bootleg releases, most of which are reviewed in-depth by well-known Elvis experts, authors, and fans. Interviews with authors and producers provide the backstory to these publications and releases. You will also find the details of the many Mono to Stereo, and undubbed releases of Elvis’ SUN recordings, his greatest hits compilations, his soundtrack albums, and his concert performances. Enjoy the stunning colored and even "liquid"” vinyl releases and some of the oddball Elvis releases and publications that make collecting fun! New this year is a complete chart and awards overview.
From the “young man with the big beat,” it is a small step to Elvis’ former drummer, Jerome "Stump" Monroe, who provided the beat behind the King as part of the Elvis Presley Show in the seventies, and who wrote the foreword for this year’s edition. Seventy years after the release of Elvis’ debut single, "the beat goes on," and "that’s all right!"
As Colonel Parker would say, there is "something for everyone," or perhaps we should say, "perhaps too much for any fan." Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just starting your journey into the King’s world, this yearbook is the definitive guide to everything Elvis from 2024 in one physical reference. This annual "Bible for Elvis fans" is a valuable keepsake for years to come.
