Elvis Technicolor in Black & White features more than 1,000 images including several hundred rare or previously unpublished photos. There are also rare and interesting archival documents (posters, magazine and record covers, press ads, etc). They are quality images and blend well with the text to create a visually appealing look. Whether it is stills from the movie, publicity images or Elvis relaxing on the set between takes, the visuals please.
Design: The sturdy hardback contains tightly bound quality gloss paper stock. The page design is strong, with good use of white space allowing both the narrative and visual elements to shine. The font size is easy on the eye and the images well placed.
Bonus extras: A 10” LP (securely housed in a pocket in the inside front cover) features eight eclectic tracks from We’re Gonna Move (from Love Me Tender) to King of the Whole Wide World (Kid Galahad). For vinyl collectors this is a real treat. The CD (inside back cover) offers an aurally pleasing selection of 29 film tracks (alternate takes 1956 to 1963) including Jailhouse Rock, Don’t Leave Me Now, King Creole, Black Star, Beach Boy Blues, Can’t Help Falling in Love (Blue Hawaii), Summer Kisses Winter Tears, Girls! Girls! Girls!, and the underrated Lonely Man (cut from Wild In the Country). There are also two “bonus” tracks....”solo” recordings of Let Me and Summer Kisses, Winter Tears.
