MRS publishes its first standalone hardback photo book measuring 9 x 11 inches containing 100 pages in full colour gloss, featuring the photographic works of Tim Healy in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at the Elvis Presley show on October 17, 1976. As the Minneapolis Tribune reported at the time, 'Elvis is in as good shape as ever and, of course, as a performer on stage, singing or just fooling around, he has more charisma than a dozen other top performers combined. Will Elvis endure? Judging by the screams of the audience he's in no trouble.' With Elvis slimmed down and performing better than earlier in the year, Tim Healy?s exclusive photographs manage to visually capture Elvis' new-found enthusiasm effortlessly and in an uncannily realistic way. All the photographs contained in this book are completely unreleased. The upcoming FTD release of 'In A Minnesota Moment' front cover (also out on 15th February), is also the work of Tim Healy. This book is limited to 1500 copies worldwide

Die geschätzte Zahl weltweit verkaufter Presley-Tonträger variiert: Es dürften annähernd zwei Milliarden sein. Vom 1. 10. 1958 (Ankunft mit der USS Randall in Bremerhaven) bis 2. 3. 1960 (Rückflug ab Rhein-Main in Frankfurt) war Elvis Presley im hessischen Friedberg stationiert. Hier hatte er am 14. 9. 1959 die 14jährige Priscilla Beaulieu kennengelernt, die er am 1. 5. 1967 heiratete (Scheidung 1973). Auf der Single 'Wooden Heart' von 1960 streute Elvis Presley deutsche Text-Passagen ( - 'Muß i denn, muß i denn zum Städtele hinaus' usw.) ein.
