ELVIS SET FOR NO.1 HIT AGAIN!!!


ELVIS Presley could soon be back on top of the charts with his 19th UK
number one hit.

The King of Rock'n'Roll's first single, That's All Right Mama, is to be
reissued by HMV next Monday - exactly 50 years since Elvis recorded it as a
teenager.

Fans have already been flocking to order the single and HMV says it is
destined to be number one.

Todd Slaughter, of the official Elvis fan club, said: "It is an amazing
record."

Elvis already has the most UK chart number ones. The first posthumous one,
Way Down, came out in August 1977 - the month he died.

His No1 hits in Britain:

1957 All Shook Up. 1958 Jailhouse Rock. 1959 One Night. 1959 A Fool Such As
I. 1960 It's Now Or Never. 1961 Are You Lonesome Tonight? 1961 Wooden Heart.
1961 His Latest Flame. 1962 Rock-A-Hula-Baby. 1962 Good Luck Charm. 1962
She's Not You. 1962 Return To Sender. 1963 Devil In Disguise. 1965 Crying In
The Chapel. 1969 Suspicious Minds. 1970 The Wonder Of You. 1977 Way Down.
2002 A Little Less Conversation.

Elvis couple's baby name dilemma.

A Belgian couple whose 15 children's names are linked to Elvis Presley say
they cannot think of a name for their 16th child.

Jean-Pierre and Carine Antheunis, from Gent in Belgium, are lifelong Elvis
fans and their children's names include Elvis, Priscilla, Dakota and
Tennessee.

But the pair have said they don't know what to call their new baby boy.

"If it had been a girl we would have called her Linda. Elvis once had a
lover with that name," said Jean-Pierre.

"But we have run out of ideas for a boy."

They are now thinking of calling him Ohio: "There's no connection with
Elvis, but it's in America," he added.

Speaking to daily newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws, Jean-Pierre said they would
not need to worry about finding more names in the future, as Ohio would be
their last.

"My wife is now 40 and we have decided to stop there. Sixteen children are
enough for us," he said.

ELVIS RADIO Soon To Be On The Air Via Satellite.


SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO AND GRACELAND CREATE ALL-ELVIS PRESLEY RADIO CHANNEL

"Elvis was a great fan of all new technologies in entertainment and
communication. He was always the first person to get the latest gadgetry.
I'm sure Elvis would have been SIRIUS Satellite Radio's first subscriber and
would have had their rock, gospel and country programming going non-stop at
home and on the road. It's such a great way to receive one's favorite music
and I know he'd be beaming with pride at having his very own station." -
Priscilla Presley


NEW YORK - June 28, 2004 - SIRIUS (NASDAQ: SIRI), the premium satellite
radio provider known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music
and sports programming to cars and homes across the country, today announced
the launch of Elvis Radio, a 24/7 all-Elvis Presley® radio channel. All day,
every day, Elvis Radio will celebrate "The King of Rock 'n' Roll®" by airing
the entire spectrum of his career: His extensive catalog of hit singles ...
the rarities ... the 'B' sides ... the 'Sun' years . the movie soundtracks
... and his wonderful concerts. Elvis Radio will be hosted daily by SIRIUS
DJs from a specially designed studio in the Plaza at Graceland, Elvis'
Memphis, TN home.

Elvis Radio will debut July 2 on SIRIUS with a spectacular live broadcast
from Memphis, TN. Elvis fans from around the world are expected at Graceland
and the Sun Studio during the Fourth of July weekend to celebrate the 50th
anniversary of Elvis' first single, "That's All Right."

"Elvis Presley was a true pioneer, a man of many firsts in our world," said
Jack Soden, President & CEO of Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. "It seems
natural for Elvis to be the first artist to have a satellite radio station
exclusively devoted to his work. It's especially fitting that the launch of
Elvis Radio happens to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the beginning
of his career. What a great way to celebrate!"

Scott Greenstein, President of Entertainment and Sports, SIRIUS, said,
"Fifty years after his first single, Elvis Presley still casts a spell over
music lovers, songwriters and musicians everywhere; this is evidenced by the
throngs of visitors to Graceland and the millions who buy his records each
year. SIRIUS is committed to providing unique and innovative content to our
subscribers that they can't get anywhere else - Elvis Radio is yet another
example of that commitment."

The partnership between SIRIUS and Elvis Presley Enterprises calls for
SIRIUS radios to be sold at Graceland gift shops and on Elvis.com. Elvis
Radio will be available in all guest rooms at Memphis' Heartbreak Hotel and
will play throughout the day in the public areas at Graceland. SIRIUS and
Elvis Radio will be promoted on Elvis.com, to Elvis fan clubs and to Elvis
e-mail lists.

"No artist in the history of recorded music made an impact on rock 'n' roll
as Elvis did," said Steve Blatter, Vice President of Music Programming,
SIRIUS. "Through his music, Elvis changed America and the world. We're proud
to have worked closely with the Elvis estate to create Elvis Radio."

SIRIUS consultant Walter Sabo, who initiated the discussions for Elvis Radio
said, "Rock radio exists because of Elvis - yet Elvis Presley's music can't
be heard on very many radio stations anymore. Today, Elvis fans - and that's
all of us - can hear Elvis, uncensored, from the hips up and down, on
SIRIUS."

Book Such Vicious Minds Delayed.


The release of the fourth Elvis detective by Daniel Klein, "Such Vicious
Minds", a murder mystery featuring Elvis Presley, is delayed  until August
7.

Content Such Vicious Minds:
"The King of Rock'n'Roll is back in the building for his fourth turn as
sleuth in this highly acclaimed mystery series

It's Memphis, 1965. An increasingly withdrawn Elvis passes his evenings at
the Memphian movie house, endlessly watching Stanley Kubrick's "Dr.
Stranglelove." His friends and hangers-on are starting to worry, and so is
his famously hucksterish manager, Colonel Tom Parker.

Things only get worse when the King finds out that someone has been
disguising himself as Elvis in order to seduce his teenage fans, and that
Colonel Tom's been paying off their parents to keep the scandal out of the
press.

When a photographer who claims to have documented these seductions is
murdered ... and Colonel Tom is arrested for that murder ... the stakes
becomes life and death."

HMV UK Celebrate 50th Anniversary Of Rock and Roll.


Release date: 5-7-2004 Catalogue Number: 82876619211
Side A:  1 That's All Right Side B :  2. Blue Moon Of Kentucky


A press release from HMV celebrating the 50th anniversary of Rock and Roll.

A 10-inch vinyl limited edition of Elvis Presley's That's All Right - the
record that many believe launched rock 'n' roll 50 years ago - is available
exclusively at HMV's 180-plus stores in the UK and Ireland and through its
online site at HMV.co.uk on Monday 5th July 2004.

That date is the precise 50th anniversary of Elvis recording the single at
the Sun Studios in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, on Monday 5th July
1954. That's All Right changed the world - John Lennon would later famously
remark that "before Elvis there was nothing" - but has remarkably never been
released as a single in the UK.

HMV's 10-inch vinyl version is almost certain to become a collectors' item.
Only 5000, individually numbered, copies are being pressed and there's every
chance they will be sold out on the day of release - many the 1000 available
on
HMV.co.uk, for example, have already been accounted for through customer
pre-orders.

Uniquely, the single appears on the original Sun Records - the small
independent label that released the record in America 50 years ago - and
features the original b-side, Blue Moon of Kentucky.

Following last year's huge hit with 'A Little Less Conversation' this early
public demand for the single suggests that Elvis may well be in line for
further chart success, and he may even extend his record of UK number ones
to 19 - pulling two ahead of the Beatles on 17 and five in front of Cliff
Richard, who has 14.

Says Steve Gallant, HMV Product Director: "Given the enduring appeal of
Elvis - and the significance of his first recording - we're sure there is
going to be enormous demand for this special edition. Our advice, therefore,
is to get to the stores early - because once we've sold out, this item will
be deleted and there'll be no other way of getting it.

"From HMV's perspective, this release is also very much part of our
heritage. As the country's oldest music retailer - HMV opened for business
in 1921 - we're the only one to have sold every Elvis record as they were
released in the UK. We should also add that when Elvis's records were first
released in the UK - in 1956 - they originally appeared on the HMV label."

The single's release comes as part of a global party to celebrate the birth
of rock 'n' roll. At 5.00 pm (BST) on 5th July, for instance, radio stations
around the world will be encouraged to simultaneously play That's All Right.
On the same day BMG are also releasing:

A three-track CD single of That's All Right, featuring the original Blue
Moon of Kentucky b-side plus an alternative take of That's All Right.

The Elvis at Sun album, featuring all the tracks Elvis recorded during his
two years with the legendary label. This includes all five singles plus rare
alternate takes.

The Elvis: '68 Comeback Special - Deluxe Edition DVD, featuring the two
complete jam sessions and Elvis's two solo concerts that originally
comprised his historic Comeback special. These four shows have never been
released in their entirety.

The Elvis, Aloha from Hawaii - Deluxe Edition DVD, a two disc set featuring
all the performance material shot for Elvis's 1973 Aloha from Hawaii
television show - at the time the world's biggest TV event with a 1.5
billion audience across 40 countries

The Kings of Rock 'n Roll album featuring Elvis together with contributions
from such legends as Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, Chuck Berry, Little
Richard, .Cliff Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis.

Shreveport sets 50th anniversary Elvis bash.

Walk into Shreveport's Municipal Auditorium and you can almost hear the
rhythmic thrum of guitars, the screams of teenagers swooning over the latest
heart throb -- Elvis. And you don't need to ask Elvis who?
On Oct. 15, 1954, 19-year-old Elvis Presley waited his turn to appear in
front of an audience on a nationally telecast radio show -- the Louisiana
Hayride. It was his first career performance, the beginning of a dramatic
change in how the world viewed music and entertainment.

Rock music and memories will be the focus of a special Oct. 16 concert in
the auditorium when Shreveport salutes Elvis, the king of rock and roll,
during a 50th anniversary celebration.

Performing will be Elvis' friends. The TCB Band, including Shreveport's
native son and internationally acclaimed guitarist, James Burton, will join
original Hayride drummer DJ Fontana, the Jordanaires and Terry Mike Jeffey
for the night.

The Friends of the Municipal Auditorium have organized the concert bash.
Tickets go on sale Monday, July 12. Prices are $25, $35 and $45. Groups of
15 or more can purchase tickets for $20 per person. For information, visit
the Friends of the Municipal Auditorium Web site,
http://www.stageofstars.com or call the Shreveport Symphony Orchestra
office, 318-227-8863.

Proceeds from the concert will go to help the Friends of the Municipal
breathe life back into the historic building with projects that include
restoration, museum exhibits, guided tours and educational programs.

Designed by architect Samuel Weiner and built in the 1920s, the building is
considered one of the finest examples of Art Deco construction in Louisiana.
It has hosted circuses, concerts, sporting events, plays and political
rallys. In 1954 when Elvis first appeared on its stage, the auditorium also
saw appearances by the St. Louis Symphony and Houston Symphony.

The Hayride, or "Cradle to the Stars" as it was often called, was the
catalyst for not just Elvis' career. The weekly radio program on
Shreveport's KWKH began April 3, 1948. Admission was 30 cents or 60 cents,
including tax. In its first 10 years, the Hayride launched the careers of
Hank Williams, Webb Pierce, Faron Young, Slim Whitman, Johnny Horton, Johnny
Cash, George Jones, Bob Luman and many others.

The auditorium continues to be a popular site for special events because of
its size and proximity to I-20 and I-49. And it's address has been re-named
-- 705 Elvis Presley Avenue. Some of the history is on display at the Stage
of Stars Museum, which opened this summer in the Municipal Audi-torium. The
museum's regular Saturday hours are 11 a.m.-4 p.m. A tour, including a walk
across the "stage of stars," takes about 30 minutes.

Groups can schedule tours anytime by contacting the Shreveport-Bossier
Convention and Tourist Bureau, 318-222-9391.

Note : "The auditorium continues to be a popular site for special events
because of its size and proximity to I-20 and I-49. And it's address has
been re-named -- 705 Elvis Presley Avenue."

Tarzan Presley by Nigel Cox.

"Raised by gorillas in the wild jungles of New Zealand, scarred by battles
with vicious giant weta, seduced by a beautiful scientist, discovered by
Memphis record producer Sam Phillips and adored by millions, the
dirt-to-dreams life story of Tarzan Presley is as legendary as his 30 number
one hits. But that story came to a dramatic end in 1977 when Tarzan topped
himself. Now a big breakthrough as a new manuscript left by Tarzan is

Director of Elvis' '68 comeback special talks about The King.

Steve Binder had the guts to tell Elvis Presley his career was in the toilet
and scored a rare victory in a power struggle with the singer's domineering
manager, "Colonel" Tom Parker.

Then Binder went out, turned a brainstorm into a jam session and directed
the TV special that put the spark back in Elvis and restored him to
greatness.

That was in June 1968. Fast-forward 36 years, when a deluxe seven-hour DVD
edition of Binder's Elvis show was released this week as part of a
celebration of an Elvis milestone.

July 5 marks the 50th anniversary of that 1954 day that Elvis walked into
Sun Studios in Memphis, Tenn., to cut his first record, "That's All Right."
Many consider that moment to be the birth of rock 'n' roll, though others
trace rock's origins back further.

A DVD of a 1973 Elvis Hawaii special and two CDs of historic music from
Elvis and others also were released Tuesday.

Suddenly, with the big 5-0 milestone looming, many are talkin' Elvis again.
Binder has loads of memories from working with The King all those years ago
-- vivid, fond, funny and otherwise.

"If someone had told me back then that I would be getting interviewed in
2004 about the Elvis special we did, I would have said, 'No way,' " Binder,
now 62, said from a couch in his Mandalay Bay, Calif., townhouse recently.
After the 1968 special, Elvis had a new spotlight and hit Vegas shows almost
up until his death in 1977 at age 42.

Parker died in 1997 at age 87. Binder has had a long career as director and
producer. But for a few memorable weeks in 1968, they were together, making
a little magic and history.

The original show, called simply "Elvis," aired on NBC on Dec. 3, 1968. If
Parker had had his way, it likely would have been just another show with a
celebrity singing Christmas chestnuts, probably soon forgotten. But in
Binder's hands, and with The King's backing, it became legendary.

Binder got the idea to have Elvis and friends jam onstage, performing his
hits and interacting with the crowd -- a forerunner of the so-called
"Unplugged" concept long before MTV even existed. He had Elvis do numbers
with a full orchestra as well.

What they caught was Elvis on fire, dressed in a tight black leather suit
for the jam sessions, oozing charisma, energy and sexuality. He was back.

Almost four decades later, the show still resonates in many places,
including at Elvis' sprawling Graceland complex in Memphis.

"It was career salvation," said Todd Morgan, director of media and creative
development for Elvis Presley Enterprises there and also one of the
producers of the new DVD on the 1968 show.

"Of course, who could possibly know what would have happened if the TV
special hadn't come along. Maybe there would have been another way to reboot
his career. But who knows?"

Binder grew up in Los Angeles, went to film school at the University of
Southern California and did radio during an ensuing Army stint. Later, he
landed a job on a New York-based music show called "Hullabaloo" and then
directed TV specials for Leslie Uggams, and another with Petula Clark and
Harry Belafonte.

After the Clark-Belafonte special, Binder got a call from Bob Finkel, an
executive producer at NBC. Parker, Finkel told him, had struck a deal with
the network to do an Elvis special. Finkel wanted Binder to direct and
co-produce it. Binder was 26.

"I was so young," Binder said. "I couldn't believe all this was happening."
Binder agreed to a meeting with Elvis. The two hit it off, even though
Binder was frank with The King.

"Basically, I told him I thought his career was in the toilet," Binder said.
Binder pitched a rough outline for the show; Elvis liked it. They agreed
that Elvis would go off to Hawaii to get in shape for the special. They
started putting the show together in June 1968.

Binder was determined to make the suave Elvis and his music the show's
focus. Parker had other ideas: He wanted the show to be Elvis doing 20
Christmas songs, with no talking between numbers.

Every night after rehearsals and tapings, Binder noticed that Elvis would go
to his dressing room and jam away with old friends. They would sing, play
and joke.

"I said: 'Wait a minute, this is history. I want to film this,' " Binder
said. "And Elvis had a great sense of humor; I was determined to get that in
there."

Parker at first said no to taping in the dressing room but later relented on
the idea as long as they did it on the studio stage. So the jam-session
portion of the show was born.

"I was certainly fascinated by Elvis, but truthfully, I was not into his
music," Binder said. "I liked the West Coast sound, the Beach Boys and such.
On the other hand, when I saw him perform through my camera lens, I accepted
him for how great he really was."

"The cool part for me seeing it through the lens was seeing him visually
build his confidence," Binder said. "When he realized they (the studio
audience) loved him, he simply could not give them enough."

Once taping was over, Parker found out about the show's thrust and
threatened to pull out of the project unless NBC included at least one
Christmas song. Fortunately, Binder said, during one improv session Elvis
had sung "Blue Christmas" and he had it on tape, so he agreed to throw that
in. Binder edited the show down, and showed Elvis the final product. The
King, he said, was pleased with it.

Parker offered Binder the directorial helm of Elvis' next movie, 1969's
"Charro," but later reneged on it when they got into a dispute over music
royalties from the special. Binder and Elvis never spoke again.

Binder would go on to do TV shows involving Mac Davis, Barry Manilow, Diana
Ross, Patti LaBelle, Michelle Kwan and others. The Elvis special, he said,
taught him that sometimes you have to stick to your guns.

"I can't tell you how many times I've been told, 'You'll never get work in
this town again.' But I've had steady work for four decades."

Message From BMG: Aloha Disc 1 Technical Glitch.


What's the story on the Aloha Disc 1 technical glitch we're hearing
about for PAL discs distributed outside North America?

Message from BMG:

There is a glitch in the DVD in countries which use the
PAL format. The segment is 17 minutes of footage where the crowd is
waiting for Elvis to arrive by helicopter. At exactly 4:59 there is an
"end code" which causes the picture to jump to the next Chapter
(Rehearsal Concert). This is the glitch on the DVD.

All of the footage is actually there. You can see it by
hitting the "skip" button on your remote at 4:58 and that will make the
program jump over the "end code" and allow the arrival footage to
continue. At the end of the 17 minutes you must return to the main menu
to proceed with Chapter 2.

Please note at 4:59 where the glitch occurs, Elvis has
not arrived yet. The shot is actually of a lamp post. If you follow this
procedure you will not miss any Elvis footage!

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Note:  Latest news  - Hopefully in two weeks the Aloha Deluxe-set will be
available without this error.
More details from BMG soon on this matter.

Q & A: 1st Annual Special Edition Cameo Girl Collectible Vase.


We've received a lot of questions about the upcoming limited run on the
Special Edition Cameo Girl and wanted to share the answers here. Don't
forget, you must order yours before July 30.

Q: What are Cameo Girls?

A: Cameo Girls is a collection of figural head vases that portrays ten
beautiful and fashionable ladies, and depicts the fascinating roles they've
played throughout some of history's most memorable moments and eras. Each
lady has her own ageless personality, and she represents uniquely historical
periods and stories that are complemented by elaborately detailed costuming,
hairstyle, and impeccable makeup and accessories. Judith, who is graceful,
well brought up and a little pampered takes us back to Valentine's Day in
1875, recalls the glamour of Hollywood in the 30's, and enjoys life, latte,
and the dot.com era in 2001. Eve is a classic beauty and a little reserved,
but she does have a rebellious streak, like the night she dances with
bootleggers in the 20's and played folk music on a 12-string guitar in the
70's. Celeste, who is of African American descent, is elegant and artistic.
In the 20's she became a star of musical revues under the bright lights of
Harlem, and ventured on to Broadway acclaim in 1987. Abigail, who portrays
our 50's teen, has been a WWII nurse, the belle of the Masquerade ball in
1780, and the grand lady in 1911's Easter Parade. Six other ladies;
Angeline, Clarissa, Eloise, Sasha, Blythe, and Martina make up the rest of
the Cameo Girls collection. Together the ladies define the greatest moments
of history in 87 intriguingly beautiful designs.

Q: What makes this piece so special?

A: Beyond the fact that it commemorates Elvis' first recording and the 50th
Anniversary of Rock and Roll, Cameo Girls distinguish themselves from other
head vases in the extremely high quality seen in their intricate sculpting
detail, exquisite handpainting, and authentic and elaborate costuming for
the eras they represent. Lady head vases were originally popular in the
1950's when florists used them to promote flower sales. They were originally
ceramic and lacking in great detail. Today's Cameo Girls lady vase uses a
reliable material that retains much of the original sculpting
detail because it doesn't have to be fired.

Q: Are Cameo Girls considered a real collectible?

A: Yes! In only a few short years, the interest in the collection generates
new excitement with every introduction. Cameo Girls collectors are a
passionate group that eagerly await the next arrivals to see what new
adventures and eras the ladies are going to represent. Many order sight
unseen knowing they won't be disappointed. Collectors say, "It's like
waiting to relive history," through each beautiful and captivating lady.
Even collectors of the earlier vintage vases are recognizing the artistry in
these new lady vases. Some avid collectors favor the entire collection,
while others find it fascinating to collect only certain ladies.

Q: Do Cameo Girls appreciate in value?

A: Yes, again. Traditionally most Cameo Girls will sell or resell for 2 to 3
times their original price. However, Cameo Girls have sold on Ebay for
upwards of $800. Most recently, Abigail 1953 sold for $459 and Celeste 1987
for $319. In the past month, another 50 designs have sold at considerable
increases over their original price. Some other Internet websites devoted
entirely to lady head vases, also offer online auctions for collectors.

Q: Have Cameo Girls ever sold on QVC?

A: Yes, Cameo Girls have sold on QVC shopping channel, and sold very
quickly. During the first airing, which offered approximately 500 pieces of
a single Cameo Girl design, the featured piece was on the air less than a
minute and a half before selling out. For the second airing, two Cameo Girls
designs were featured. Approximately 1000 pieces completely sold out within
six to eight minutes. The Cameo Girls offered in the sale were limited
edition collectible pieces from the Cameo Girls collection, but they sold,
not only for collectible value and distinction, but as home decor and accent
pieces, as well.

Q: Why would I want "Abigail 1954 - Let's Rock?"

A: Abigail 1954 is one of those special collectible pieces, that because of
its relevance to Elvis and Rock and Roll's 50th Anniversary, tends to
generate even more excitement in the collectible community. It also marks
the first time Cameo Girls has ever introduced a "special edition" piece.
Typically, any collectible design associated with clubs, memberships, first
editions, and special events appreciate more rapidly because they become
increasingly more difficult to find as interest in the collection grows.

Q: Where can I find other Cameo Girls?

A: The Cameo Girls collection is available at many fine gift and
collectibles stores nationwide, as well as internet sites that specialize in
lady head vases. A search of the Internet using Cameo Girls or Lady Head
Vases should bring up several interesting websites. Some of these sites
offer newsletters, buy and sell opportunities, and information on lady vase
shows and conventions.

Todd Morgan In ICE Magazine.

This interview is from the second update from ICE magazine publisher Pete
Howard. A third mailing will go out later.

In the current issue of ICE, we have a long article on BMG Heritage's
upcoming Elvis Presley titles: a single CD called Elvis at Sun and two
multi-disc DVD sets, Elvis: '68 Comeback Special - Deluxe Edition DVD and
Elvis, Aloha from Hawaii - Deluxe Edition DVD.

In the article, we interviewed both Ernst Mikael Jorgensen, who produced the
new Sun disc, and Todd Morgan of Elvis Presley Enterprises, who worked on
the two DVD sets. In both cases, they had much more to say than we had room
to print, so we�fre delightfully making up for that here in the Daily News
Flash. Last Friday, we had Jorgensen talking about Elvis at Sun; this week,
we're presenting overflow from Todd Morgan's interview about the DVDs. In
all cases, none of these quotes made it into the ICE article.

Naturally, once the conversation got going, Morgan had plenty of anecdotes
about what he'd been observing the last few months. And the good news is,
with the '68 Comeback Special, fans are going to see nearly everything he
did... including four intimate shows in front of a tiny audience, two
performed with Elvis sitting down, two with him standing up.

"One thing that's really funny, "Morgan tells ICE," is that in the first
stand-up, Elvis does this killer version of 'Blue Suede Shoes.' It seems
that the band is a little off, and he can't get 'em right. He's smiling,
it's very charming... and then there comes a point where he can't get them
to stop! [laughter] He's out there workin' his ass off, and then he just
kind of surrenders to it. You just have to see it.

"As an illustration of how complete we're being, at the end of the '68 show
the credits roll... and he's up in the red Elvis letters playing guitar. You
get the original broadcast version of the show, which has the rolling
credits, but... you also get the footage that they shot for the credits
rolling, without the credits. We really mean comprehensive!

"Another thing that was very moving was to watch all three takes of 'If I
Can Dream.' They used the third one for the TV special. To watch the process
of him getting to that... the first one was wonderful; the next one was at
another level. And then he gets to the one that [made it]. That is probably
my single favorite vocal performance of his career."

Although the '68 Comeback Special has been released in several forms before
- or part of it, we should say - interestingly, Morgan and the other two
producers decided not to view them first for reference.

"We went back to the original tapes and started from scratch," he says, "and
we didn't really look at anything that had been done before; we just went
with completely fresh eyes. We simply went in there with the original tapes,
transferred to digital, and started from the top. We put our choices up on
the screens in the editing bay, and discussed it moment-by-moment, what
angle to go to. We worked with a marvelous editor and co-producer [Ray Hovey
and Gary Miller], so it's beautifully done, but it's got a raw quality to
it.

"Early in the process we developed this term: 'maximum Elvisness.' It means
if your choices are a shaky shot of Elvis which is great but the cameraman
wasn't quite locked down, or a lame audience shot, we went with the shaky
Elvis shot.

"I can remember there in the editing bay, pushing my chair back several
times during this process, just thinking, 'My God... was anybody ever that
great, that beautiful, that charismatic, that talented?' And the answer is,
'No.'"

Morgan also had a cute little anecdote that only tape archivists can
appreciate: "In those days, they'd recycle tape a lot; we found with '68,
some of our tapes had Elvis recorded over [Rowan & Martin's] Laugh-In. When
Elvis runs out on some of our tapes, you pick up some Laugh-In stuff
[laughing]!"

That's all for today; thanks for stopping by. The third and final part of
our Elvis DailyNews Flash will run later this week.

That's All Right Number 1.


Climbing form last weeks new entry at number 11 to numer 1 on the Billboard
sales chart.

The press release:

New York (June 23, 2004) - More than 50 years after Elvis Presley initially
recorded the single "That's All Right" and changed music forever, the song
claims the top berth among the Billboard singles sales chart. This week, the
single "That's All Right" - released by BMG Strategic Marketing Group with
an alternate version of the track as well as its original B-side "Blue Moon
of Kentucky"
BMG Strategic Marketing Group released the special CD single of "That's All
Right" to commemorate the 50th anniversary of rock 'n' roll, which will
officially be celebrated around the world on July 5th, with most of the
activities emanating from Elvis Presley's hometown, Memphis, TN.

"That's All Right" also appears on two full length BMG CDs released this
week to commemorate the anniversary - the critically acclaimed "ELVIS AT
SUN," the definitive collection of Presley's work at this historic studio,
recorded with the legendary producer Sam Phillips, as well as "Memphis
Celebrates 50 Years Of Rock 'N' Roll" featuring a diverse array of musicians
who were either born in Memphis, recorded in Memphis, or were deeply
influenced by the city and its sound, including Presley, Johnny Cash, Aretha
Franklin, B.B. King, Otis Redding and many others.

"BMG is truly proud of this milestone and the overall renewed musical legacy
of one of the greatest artists of all time," said Joe DiMuro, Executive Vice
President, BMG Strategic Marketing Group. "No one but Elvis could claim a #1
single 50 years after it was originally recorded, and this tremendous
achievement speaks to the phenomenal love and popularity he continues to
enjoy today." The success of "That's All Right" is yet another milestone in
Elvis's record-setting music career. He is the only artist to be inducted
into all three music Halls of Fame, including Rock 'N' Roll, Country and
Gospel. He holds the record for most top 10 pop singles, the most gold and
platinum awards and is the world's best selling artist, eclipsing any other
musician or group in history. His popularity remains intact to this day as
there are more active Elvis Presley fan clubs around the world than for any
other artist - dead or alive.

Elvis The Man The Life The Legend.


Following is a press release from Atria Books:

Written with the rare assistance of Elvis Presley Enterprises, the
bestselling author of Audrey Style and Jackie Style turns her attention to
American icon Elvis Presley and explores the King of Rock and Roll through
the prism of his music, life and style with her latest book, ELVIS PRESLEY:
The Man, The Life, The Legend. (Atria Books, July 2004).

That voice, Graceland, the cars, the girls, the hair. Elvis Presley
revolutionized American pop culture when, at age twenty-one, he became the
world's first modern superstar. A Memphis Beau Brummel even before he was
famous, Elvis's personal style, like his music, had such a direct impact on
his audience that it continues to permeate our world to this day. With Elvis
Presley: The Man. The Life. The Legend. (Atria Books), Pamela Clarke Keogh
compellingly examines Elvis's life and style to reveal the generous,
complex, spiritual man behind the fourteen-carat gold sunglasses and answers
the question "why Elvis matters."

From his modest beginnings in a two-room house to his meteoric rise to fame,
Elvis Presley is the story of one man's life. An American story, it tells of
a man, a boy, really, born poor in Tupelo, Mississippi. But he could do one
thing: he could sing to break your heart.

Elvis was the first. Before the Beatles, before the Rolling Stones, before
U2, before Eminem, there was Elvis. The original Slim Shady, he was black
and white, rhythm and country, hot and cool. His appearance on Ed Sullivan
ripped the 1950's in half, and America was never the same. In the beginning,
Elvis did not understand the audience's ferocious response to him. But he
quickly learned to harness it, toying with his screaming fans like a lover.
Onstage, something came over him. He was a different person - freer, able to
express himself, musically articulate as he never was in conversation.
People loved him and he gave their love back to them in kind.

The first modern superstar, Elvis was almost pure style. Tolstoy believed
that one way to judge art was if it got a response - either good or bad.
Everything about Elvis was provocative. His clothes, his hair, the way he
sang, the way he moved on stage, his half kidding sneer. Adults, church
leaders, the great dull morass that makes up acceptable society considered
Elvis a joke but Leonard Bernstein saw his impact: "Elvis Presley is the
greatest cultural force in the Twentieth Century," he proclaimed. "He
introduced the beat to everything and he changed everything - music,
language, clothes. It's a whole new social revolution - the Sixties came
from it."

In addition to his extraordinary talent, physical beauty and the sheer fun
of being the biggest entertainer in the world, Elvis Presley: The Man. The
Life. The Legend. explores the shadows of Presley's life - which were as
necessary to his stardom as the spotlight. While exploring his ambition,
desire, fame, life on the road, women and money, Elvis Presley: The Man. The
Life. The Legend. also examines the cost of being an artist in today's
society.

Written with the assistance of Elvis Presley Enterprises, Elvis Presley: The
Man. The Life. The Legend. draws on extensive research and interviews with
Presley friends and family, including Priscilla Presley, Joe Esposito, Jerry
Schilling, Larry Geller, Bernard Lansky, famed Hollywood photographer Bob
Willoughby and designer Bill Belew. Granted access to the Graceland
archives, Keogh culled thousands of images to choose the over 100 color and
black and white photographs in the book, many of which have rarely been seen
before.

In Elvis Presley: The Man. The Life. The Legend. Keogh introduces readers to
the distinct Elvises that emerged throughout his career, complete with
fascinating insights into his life and times. The result is both an
entertaining exploration of the King of Rock and Roll and a timely,
provocative celebration of what Presley means to America today. It is a book
no fan - or future fan - should be without.

About the Author
Pamela Clarke Keogh is the author of two international bestsellers, Audrey
Style (HarperCollins, 1999), a biography of Audrey Hepburn, and Jackie Style
(HarperCollins 2001), a biography of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, written
with the assistance of both the Hepburn and Kennedy families. In addition to
being on the New York Times, Barnes & Noble and amazon.com bestseller lists,
Ms. Keogh's books were featured on the Today Show, Larry King Live, and
Dateline NBC, as well as hundreds of magazine and newspaper articles across
the country. Ms. Keogh lives in New York City and cannot wait to return to

EBONY'S DOUBLE: Last Horse Elvis Brought To Graceland.


Elvis' last horse keeps gait at Graceland.

Anything having to do with Elvis is popular and loved the world over.

His music, his home, his cars, his outfits, nothing escapes adoring fans.

Yet it is the horses in the pasture that intrigue so many of the visitors to
Graceland.

Objects may paint the picture of a man, but a horse can reflect a man's
being, somehow capturing spirit and soul.

However only one horse remains since Elvis' death August 16, 1977: EBONY'S
DOUBLE, a 31 year-old, registered Tennessee Walking Horse, the last living
horse that he purchased.

EBONY'S DOUBLE resides in the pastures and barn on the property at
Graceland, the home of Elvis, in Memphis, Tenn. He shares his paddocks with
two other horses, EBONY'S SECRET THREAT and SUN'S REFLECTION.

Together they are on display for all the King's adoring fans, enjoying the
lush bermuda paddocks behind the mansion.

The horses are cared for with 24 hour a day attention by a staff
specifically assigned to the herd.

The original barn, built by the previous owner Dr. Thomas Moore who had it
for his show cattle, still stands as the primary working facility for the
horses. It is kept in immaculate shape: not a cobweb to be found; no pile
left standing for long.

Each horse has an individual stall with name plate and cooling fans. They
are bathed often in the summer and vacuumed regularly in the winter.

An alternate section of the barn is like a small arena with an "open door
policy" for the horses; a haven from inclement whether or to take a nap in
the shade.

EBONY'S DOUBLE is a picture of age, yet maintained grace; a living vessel
that is the spirit of Elvis.

"Elvis was fascinated by Walking Horses," says Alene Alexander, barn
supervisor at Graceland. "He loved to watch them work."

EBONY'S DOUBLE was a two year-old when Elvis first saw him at the George L.
Lennox farm, near Collierville, home of the renowned CARBON COPY.

EBONY'S DOUBLE captivated Elvis with more than an impressive gait, however.
As Alene tells the story, he was wearing red leg wraps which against his
black body was an striking combination for Elvis. So much so, that Elvis
offered to buy the horse.

The son of 1962 World Champion EBONY MASTERPIECE was delivered to Graceland
by the Lennox farm without the red leg wraps. Elvis was not certain that
this horse was the same he had purchased.

"So he had them put the red leg wraps back on," says Alene. Elvis then knew
this was his horse.

EBONY'S DOUBLE joined many other horses while at Graceland, the herd
reaching as high as twenty.

It seems Elvis could not get enough of horses and the pleasure they gave
him, especially time he spent riding with friends.

"Elvis bought horses, trucks and trailers for everyone," says Alene. "At
that time, that was the thing to have. He was such a generous man."

In a June 1999 article for EQUUS magazine, Christine Barakat wrote of Elvis'
horsemanship.

"In the 'Sincerely Elvis' museum, I was captivated by an old home movie of
Elvis riding in a paddock at Graceland. In fact, I watched the film many
times. It was clear that Elvis wasn't just a "movie star cowboy" - he was
actually a very good rider, with kind hands, a secure seat and good sense of
balance. The museum also displayed the singer's well-used saddles, bridles
and muddy boots: It was obvious Elvis loved and enjoyed his horses as much
as I do my own."

"When Elvis learned to ride, he was told he had to cool out his horse
carefully by walking him," Alene says. "So he'd ride for 15 minutes and then
walk the horse three times as long. Everyone teased him about that, but he
wanted to be sure the horse was properly cooled."

EBONY'S DOUBLE was never shown in competition, yet, in 1983, he found
himself on the greatest stage of the Walking Horse world.

Ebony's Double was invited to be officially retired at the Tennessee Walking
Horse National Celebration in a ceremony usually reserved for horses earning
world championships.

The trip to Shelbyville was hard on EBONY'S legs and the day of the ceremony
he was having difficulty finding his gait.

There was a great deal of worry among the contingent, including Elvis' wife,
Priscilla, who was in attendance for the special ceremony.

Yet, with 40,000 expectant people filling the stands, they knew they could
not disappoint.

When EBONY'S DOUBLE entered the arena, with Alene up, "something magical
happened," she says. "He smoothed out and showed beautifully."

At the Celebration, in memory of Elvis, the Graceland Challenge Trophy is
presented to the winner of the Junior Walking Horse Championship Stake.

When Graceland opened to the public in 1982, there were four other horses:
RISING SUN, a registered Palomino Quarter Horse, was Elvis' favorite;
MEMPHIS, an unregistered Walking Horse; MORIAH, a Shetland pony which he
purchased for Lisa Marie to ride; and MARE INGRAM, a mixed-grade bay horse
which was named, in a turn of "fair play," for Memphis Mayor Ingram who had
renamed a stretch of Highway 51, "Elvis Presley Boulevard."

"It is Graceland's policy to always have horses at Graceland," says Alene.
"Elvis bought Graceland so he could have horses. His first acquisition was a
pair of mules for his father, Vernon."

Standing with the policy of Graceland, they continue to reflect the
composition of the horses when they pass away.

"When we replace a horse, we try to stay as true to the bloodlines as
possible."

Such is the case with SUN'S REFLECTION, purchased in 1988 after RISING SUN
passed in 1986. SUN'S REFLECTION is also a Golden Palomino, not only related
in bloodline as a cousin, but also purchased from the same man, Robert Boyd,
who sold Elvis RISING SUN.

"There will always be a Golden Palomino at Graceland," states Alene.

There have been numerous other horses at Graceland, which although
unrelated, have been adopted or donated to provide retiring horses a good
home.

Since all three are getting up in age, "we just don't want to risk them
being injured by other and younger horses since they are getting so old."

The pursuit of adoption reflects the compassion Elvis had for horses, and
even for animals in general, a trait shared equally by Priscilla and Lisa
Marie.

When Priscilla and Lisa Marie make return trips to Graceland, a fairly
regular occurrence, the never fail to visit the barn.

"They always come spend time here at the barn," says Alene, "to pet, brush
and feed the horses."

The barn and horses certainly must serve as a welcome and comforting haven,
as they must have been for Elvis. A place to provide sanctuary and pleasure.

The apparent luxury of being a Graceland horse does not depict the gravity
of caring for an senior horse and the effort put out by an extremely
dedicated staff.

With the opening of Graceland in 1982, Alene Alexander had signed on to be a
tour guide. When she saw the horses, she immediately put a resume together
to offer to care for the horses. Being a Walking Horse owner and having
shown a world champion, MISS GO GIRL, Jack Soden, President and CEO of Elvis
Presley Enterprises, Inc., did not hesitate to appointed her Graceland's
stable supervisor.

Her dedication to the horses mirrors the commitment of Graceland to maintain
the remembrance of Elvis.

"The executive staff has never denied any request concerning the care of the
horses," Alene reports. "I tell them what I need and I get it. Their concern
for the horses is without question."

Dr. Susanne Taylor is the "house" vet on call 24 hours a day. "She is
available to us whenever we need her. Given her experience with caring for
senior horses we could not ask for better."

Lim Couch served as a farrier for Elvis during his lifetime, and continues
in that capacity today for Graceland. In addition to keeping the horses
properly shod, the owner of Mid-South Farrier Supply in Hernando, Miss.
keeps the stables fully stocked with all their vitamin, nutrition, hoof
care, and horse grooming supplies.

Senior Associate Cecil Carney is "the mystery employee."

"He is the only employee of Graceland who no one ever sees," jokes Alene.

Arriving early in the morning and late in the evenings after Graceland is
closed, the stealthy stable hand's work rarely goes unnoticed. Without fail,
seven days a week Cecil feeds, cleans, bails hay, and keeps the pastures
green.

Associate Susan Couch, daughter of Lim, manages the daytime chores, feeding
and grooming. "She keeps our horses the best they can be kept."

Susan has been working there for just over a year and came at a critical
time in "OLD EBONY'S" life.

The Walking Horse had dropped over 100 pounds in a short period of time and
Graceland feared the worst for him.

But Susan recalled an article she read in the Mid-South Horse Review about
how Sandra Jackson of Oxford, Miss. had restored the health of her senior
Walking Horse by feeding him a diet of warm mash composed of beet pulp and
mixed feed soaked in mineral oil and water.

The situation for Jackson's horse was similar to EBONY'S, his teeth were
worn and painful, making eating difficult and consumption inadequate. The
palatable mash recipe provided the necessary nutrients to help EBONY put the
weight back on.

"Now they get a 'hot lunch' three times a day," says Susan, who prepares the
meals for the horses each day.

"I really believe that we have gained at least ten more years with this
horse," remarks Alene.

However, it seems EBONY'S DOUBLE does have a bit of a sweet tooth and
indulges in the occasional sugar cookie and Pepsi from a can, a trick Elvis
had taught him. He does not follow Elvis' penchant for fried peanut butter
and banana sandwiches, but does like a peanut butter cracker every once in a
while.

Despite the treats, diets and work on the horses are a very serious
endeavor, coupled with heaps of loving care.

"A running joke around here is that the horses around the world all share a
dream of getting to retire at Graceland." writes Todd Morgan, Director of
Media and Creative Development for Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc., in an
official response to a visitors' inquiry. "Another running joke amongst our
very well treated employees is that the real dream job around here is to be
a Graceland horse. These babies each have individualized health care,
individualized diets, lavish love and attention, a vet on call 24 hours a
day."

The Mid-South Horse Review would like to thank Elvis Presley Enterprises,
Inc. for permission to use the photographs and information included in this
article.
