Elvis Treasures [The Elvis Beat newsletter]

/ TY

I was 20 when I wrote this article back in 1995 for The Elvis Beat #12, my official Elvis Presley Fan Club newsletter.

1995 marks the return of Elvis Presley on tour. Well, sort of. A nine-state tour of Elvis memorabilia made ten stops across the nation from April 28 to June 22. The tour, known as “Elvis Treasures: The Great Road Show Of ’95,” featured a $150,000 collection.

The collection included an authentic Elvis jumpsuit, a TCB necklace, guitars, and other items. The tour began on April 28 in New York City and concluded on June 22 in Colonial Heights, Virginia.

Viewers of the exhibit had the opportunity to win various Elvis prizes, including the grand prize of a trip to Graceland.

“Elvis Treasures” promoted the newly released Official Price Guide To Elvis Presley Records And Memorabilia by Jerry Osborne.

This book is only available in limited quanties, so act fast and contact Christopher Brown at the following address for more information. […]

WHEN ELVIS DIED is back [The Elvis Beat newsletter]

/ TY

I was 17 when I wrote this item back in 1992 for The Elvis Beat #2, my official Elvis Presley Fan Club newsletter.

When Elvis Died is returning to bookstores this month in an updated paperback form. This is one of only ten Elvis books recommended by Graceland. I read the original edition and found it to be an excellent book, dealing with the media coverage of Elvis’ death. The new edition will also include a complete listing of his films and network television appearances.
