Press Release: 

Everyone who rocks owes Elvis a debt – whether they know it or not. And nobody questions his legendary status. But who remembers the real man and what is his legacy?

Record Collector makes a pilgrimage to Tupelo and Memphis to find out what remains of The King and to discover whether, behind all the tourist attractions, you can still find something of the real Elvis Presley.

Our story draws some surprising, moving conclusions. Plus we speak to one man who really knew The King: Sonny West, who remembers the Elvis he was proud to call a friend.

Plus Rare Record Price Guide editor Ian Shirley examines the current trends in collecting Elvis - examining both the hardcore fans who have been collecting only Elvis for 50 years and owning 10,000 records, to the casual fans who own the same two records.
