- Jumpsuits os Macacoes de Elvis – Volume Completo (Waldenir Cecon, 2024)
Most books already published about Elvis' legendary and iconic fashions have had an emphasis on image, or balance between, text and image. Lorraine Gibson's new book breaks the mold with it being narratively focused with two photo sections b&w (16 pages) and color (8 pages). In addition, the story of Elvis’ iconic fashion is told within the context of his life story, undoubtedly begging the question for some readers, biography or fashion story?
Promotion for the book is engaging:
Elvis' extraordinary story - told through a fashion lens - celebrates the shy, lonely boy who awakened an entire generation to forbidden fruits.
The defiant hair, the sultry good looks, the gender-ambivalent outfits - even the famous sideburns of the man who would be King - are all considered in loving detail.
From impoverished scamp and teenage anti-heroin pink, through Hollywood heartthrob and sensual leather-clad rock star, to caped superhero in Vegas jumpsuits, the author describes his clothes with as much joy as she does his journey through the decades.
The book includes interesting interviews with Hal Lansky (Lansky Brothers, Clothier to the King) who also provides the Foreword, and the man behind Elvis' 68 Comeback Special, Steve Binder.
One of Binder's comments is instructive:
In my mind, I've a room full of Elvis's best outfits through the decades. There are a lot, since from his early days, even before he was performing, he instinctively, possibly subconsciously at times, wanted to stand out.
In this context, Gibson notes about the young Elvis:
By now, the naturally blond fringe is already starting to flop over his eyes and necessitates being slicked back.
Telling the Elvis story through a fashion lens is a novel idea, but with only 204 pages, the story necessarily lacks the depth of the Guralnick two-volume biography or Jerry Hopkins', Elvis The Biography. Nevertheless, the author succeeds in conveying both the essence of Elvis' life and the function of fashion in it in a coherent and clever way:
Those old loose britches that he wore ... they had lots of material and pleated fronts, you shook your leg, and it made it look like all hell was going on under there. (quote from Scotty Moore)
As a seasoned, award-winning, author, Gibson has a strong, engaging writing style and is adept at providing context and color, as these excerpts about Memphis circa 1954 when Elvis was about to explode onto the music scene, illustrate:
Memphis and the airwaves were now jumping with the reverberations of a previously underground scene in all its raw, down-and-dirty glory.
Suddenly, Elvis and his 1950s peers had access to a new wave - make that tsunami - of music, a feast of definitive styles that are still regarded as iconic today. And they had money to buy it.
As well as the home of rhythm and blues, Memphis was the motherlode of white gospel music, too....
There are also moments in the story which will anger some readers and surprise others, such as this passage about the Presley's taking up residence in Graceland:
The family was also compared to the Beverly Hillbillies, and later to trashy lottery winners. I smell jealousy there and hope that they were blissfully unaware of being judged.
I suspect the reference to the "Beverly Hillbillies" (a hugely successful American television sitcom embodying the 'rags to riches" story Elvis and his family enjoyed) was used by the author as a 'device', rather than to be taken literally, as the sitcom did not debut on television until late September, 1962 (by which time the Presley family had been in residence at Graceland for more than five years).
About Graceland the author vividly comments:
In Graceland, Elvis was in control. It was his lighthouse on a storm-tossed sea - and it was where he could be mothered.
Given their transient and specific nature, the author doesn't devote much text to Elvis' film costumes. Two exceptions are interesting, the first about Jailhouse Rock:
The James Dean-esque cable-knit sweater (collar up, of course), pleat-front trousers, which alone would have earned him the 'Pelvis' moniker, and black and white loafers dominate the pool scene, where he absolutely nails 'Baby, I Don't Care'. the striped sports coats, dark with Cuban-collar shirt for the calamitous 'meet-the-parents' scene, and white with a bold stripe and raw-silk, geometric pattern shirt for dates, and the silk housecoat/cravat combo, that somehow works, and would have had Noel Coward green with envy, are all sublime.
For Blue Hawaii, the author comments:
....Elvis, tanned and toned and dressed in tropical-print Hawaiian shirts, or no shirt at all, shimmed in skin-tight white surfing shorts while serenading adoring starlets in conically upholstered swimsuits.
The latter chapters of the book address the '68 Comeback Special and Elvis' years of touring as "the Caped Crusader", of course, including his jumpsuits for the legendary Aloha from Hawaii satellite concert.
Regarding the Comeback Special, it is interesting to read that Bill Belew had designed a jumpsuit (which would later become synonymous with the 1970s Elvis) for Elvis to wear on the show, only for director, Steve Binder, to nix it.
Gibson comments about the closing number of the TV special:
It's a gut-wrenching performance to behold. Elvis is wearing a meticulously tailored suit so dazzlingly, ecclesiastically white, that it appears to be glowing, its intentional purity interrupted only by a crimson neck tie.
.......................
Watching the footage, it's inescapable to me that, yet again, his outfit, like his singing, did much of the talking.
Many readers will find the author's account of the recording of If I Can Dream, revelatory.
The book also includes discussion of Baz Luhrmann’s film, Elvis. The author’s account on hearing Austin Butler had the titular role is honest and rewarding:
I confess that when news came out that Austin Butler would play Elvis, I couldn’t see it. Trying to capture the essence of The King, is like trying to capture starlight. I think I even said something flippant line, ‘I look more like Elvis that Austin does.’
And then … I watched the film.
Willingly, I ate humble pie, as he became Elvis before my very eyes – a triumph of his fine and intuitive acting and the wizardry of Luhrmann, who fused reality, virtuality and surreality to produce a cinematic fireworks display of a movie that’s also a love letter to the indefinable spirit of Elvis.
The Epilogue: The King is Dead, Long Live the King - The Legacy, is a fascinating collection of observations with players including Lana Del Rey, Bono, Liam Gallagher (Oasis), Harry Styles (One Direction) and Bruce Springsteen, plus a further reflection on Baz Luhrmann's film, Elvis, in which we learn that Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin met with Hal and Julie Lansky in planning the costumes for the film.
In writing the direct biographical element for the book, Gibson consulted a variety of published sources ranging from 'usual suspects' - books by Peter Guralnick, Elaine Dundy, Alanna Nash, and Priscilla Presley, to more obtuse tomes - Peter Whitmer's controversial psychological analysis, The Inner Elvis, Thompson and Cole's, The Death of Elvis, and Alistair McReynolds', Kith and Kin: The Continuing Legacy of the Scots-Irish in America.
The two photo sections are presented on high quality gloss paper stock. The images are also high-quality ranging from early candids of Elvis in his younger years through his halcyon period in the mid-1950s to on-stage in the 1970s. While we have seen the imagery many times before, a stand-out color shot shows Elvis in July 1973, with his back to the camera and the cape of his Pharaoh suit fully outstretched. More, and larger imagery, would have added to the book’s impact.
Verdict: I thoroughly enjoyed Elvis: The King of Fashion. It is a well-constructed, entertaining and colorful read. As a combination biography and fashion account of the Elvis story, I was somewhat concerned that the biographical element occasionally overshadowed the fashion component, particularly in the absence of a
substantial photo element. However, this was necessary to effectively tell the complex Elvis Presley story.

Book Review by Nigel Patterson.

(Book Review) Elvis, Hero of the Comic Books (Nigel Patterson): Respected Elvis author and reviewer, Gordon Minto, recently put on his reviewer’s cap to take on what he rightly describes as “a strange landscape” of how Elvis is portrayed in comic books (aka sequential art), a subject, which until now, has not been well covered or understood.
The book in question, Elvis, Hero of the Comic Books, was written by EIN’s Nigel Patterson and sublimely designed by Elvis Day By Day’s, Kees Mouwen.
The book includes stunning artwork from a number of releases and an eclectic variety of Elvis related comic book ephemera. Elvis, Hero of the Comic Books features more than 600 images!
Read Gordon’s detailed review to discover why he found the book to be “refreshingly different, extremely eye-catching, well-researched and well-written, while offering a new slant on things”.

(Book Review) Shake, Rattle and Blue Moon – The Formative Recordings of Elvis Presley 1953-1960 (Alan Tranter): This new book by Alan Tranter is not a biography, it is more accurately a chronicle of Elvis' growth; his visits to the recording studio, his first movies, his record releases, his influences, his live performances, his TV appearances, all of which paint a picture of the artist who became, and remained, King.
Need to brush up on your knowledge of Elvis’ earliest recordings or are a new fan wanting a solid account of Elvis in the studio circa 1950s?
If so, Alan Tranter’s new book is a fresh and satisfying release, chock full of background on individual songs, recording information and neat analysis of Elvis in the studio.

Elvis LIVE Aug 23, 1969 Album Review + Elvis Concert Review 1969: ... "The atmosphere throughout the entire hotel was nail-bitingly electric! It is difficult for me to describe and paint a true portrait of attending in person this unique occasion - Elvis' Return to Splendor LIVE in 1969 - but I'll try my best. I want, and hope, you will understand the excitement of what has to be the pinnacle of Elvis' career to date!"
Joan Gansky was lucky because not only was she in the audience for Elvis' TV musical renaissance of the '68 NBC Special but she also saw Elvis at his most dynamic - first at his August 22nd 1969 Midnight Show and then the following night at his August 23rd Dinner Show.
Joan Gansky has written this insightful and emotional article for EIN in 2019, fifty years later, looking back at this special event from 1969 as well as providing her review of the new RCA vinyl album of the August 23rd Dinner Show.
One of EIN's most important articles we have ever published - Go here for Joan and Paul Gansky's incredible articles and exclusive photos

Elvis in Literature #4 - 'Elvis, Barbra, A Star Is Born, and a girl circling overhead': That Elvis was considered for the co-lead role in A Star Is Born, starring Barbra Streisand, has long been a discussion point among fans. Why didn't Elvis take up the offer? Could he have carried it off?
Ms Streisand recently released her autobiography, My Name is Barbra (Century Books), a mammoth book of nearly 1,000 pages (but unfortunately no index)!!
Streisand's account of discussions with Elvis and Colonel Tom Parker about the role of John Norman Howard is interesting - and her description of meeting Elvis also includes a fascinating and somewhat bizarre account of why Elvis was late in meeting up with her.
Go to 'Elvis in Literature #4' on Barbra Streisand and Elvis for the whole story, photos and excerpts..

(Book Review) 'Fact vs. Fiction in the 2022 ELVIS Movie' (Trina Young): EIN’s Nigel Patterson recently sat down to read Trina Young’s fourth book about Elvis. Given its core intent, Fact vs. Fiction in the 2022 ELVIS Movie is not a standard narrative, but rather, an illuminating treatise assessing degrees of fact and fiction in what was the most successful non-franchise movie of 2022, Baz Luhrmann’s spectacular assault on your visual and auditory senses, ELVIS.
For the core section of the book, Ms Young rates each scene based on four different criteria (note that for each scene it's time in the film is included). The author then provides narrative details for each of the last three criteria, the Storyline information often running to several pages. Her ratings for historical accuracy (truth) can be truly enthralling.

Book Review: 8mm Elvis - The Story of Elvis on 8mm': Long before the days of Bluray, DVD and VHS people watched home movies on 8mm film.
'8mm Elvis The Forgotten Format' is a glossy, colour, hardback book cataloguing the history of Elvis on 8mm film.
Author Vince Wright has been collecting all the Elvis 8mm he could find since the 80s.
He explained.. “I was cataloguing all these films hoping someone would write a book about it – I waited, they didn’t, so I did.”
So in 2023, and after many years of searching and researching, the author has released his comprehensive narrative and visual record of Elvis on 8mm.
This book is unique in its narrative and visual content and is an important inclusion in the complex jigsaw puzzle that forms a complete record of the multi-varied story of Elvis Presley.

'The Airplanes & The King' In-depth review: The original spanish book 'Los Aviones Y El Rey' by Carlos Varrenti was republished as an expanded English version 'The Airplanes & The King' towards the end of 2022.
Not only that but it was expanded from its original 197 pages to an amazing 400 pages with a lot of unreleased material and stunning photos from the 'Elvis Files' vaults!
The English version was unfortunately delayed by supply issues due to the worldwide Covid pandemic - but has now been published as a High quality Hardback book.
As an Aeronautical engineer and Elvis fan, Varrenti is well qualified to write a book which details Elvis’ history with his aircraft and his link to aeronautics in general. With photos and stories from 1955 through to 1977 - and beyond - the book is also an interesting historical look at Elvis’ life "on tour" but this time with an delightfully original theme.
EIN's Nigel Patterson takes a very detailed look at this impressive publication and discovers a trove of delights...

(Book Review) Elvis Live At The International 50th Anniversary Edition (Kieran Davis): In 2011, Kieran Davis released the highly praised book, Elvis Live At The International. In 2022, he has published an expanded 50th Anniversary edition…and what an expansion it is!
The latest edition dwarfs the original with 432 pages compared to 172 in the original release.
And the added 250+ pages of additional material is stunning, making the 50th Anniversary release one of the best Elvis books published in 2022.
As its title reflects, the book covers Elvis' appearances at the International Hotel in Las Vegas between 1969 and 1971 (it was renamed the Las Vegas Hilton in July 1971). The narrative element is significantly based around fan, Peggy Elzea’s copious diaries, and a bumper array of archival material. Peggy’s experience seeing Elvis in Las Vegas is one every fan will envy.
There is so much fascinating information and so many striking images in the book that it is hard to know where to start in describing it...

(Book Review) 'The Sonic Swagger of Elvis Presley: A Critical History of the Early Recordings' (Gary Parker):. ‘For Elvis Presley, stardom was the promise, and he made the trip, but at an extraordinarily high cost’. This is one of the thought provoking themes in Gary Parker’s latest book which critically examines in thoroughly researched detail, Elvis’ seminal recordings in the 1950s (as well as more briefly discussing Elvis’ post Army recordings).
Noting that... "Elvis' clever manipulation of his numerous interests remains one of the music world's great marvels. Presley, with one foot in delta mud and the other in a country hoedown, teamed with Scotty Moore and Bill Black to fuse two distinctly American musical forms -- country and blues -- to form what would come to be known as 'rockabilly'". This is a book with plenty to discuss.
In their 2,100 words collaboration, EIN’s Nigel Patterson and Piers Beagley, review what they have found to be one of the best, and most important, Elvis book releases of 2022.

Book Review - Elvis: The Quest For An Oscar (James Turiello): Many will find it surprising that someone could write more than 500 pages detailing the case why Elvis deserves to receive an Honorary Academy Award, but author James Turiello has achieved this with his latest book.
EIN's Nigel Patterson spent a weekend exploring the author's argument.
Can someone who appeared in Kissin' Cousins, Harum Scarum and Clambake really be Oscar worthy?
In a detailed review, Nigel discusses what the book has to offer and provides his assessment of whether or not the author successfully makes his case that Elvis is deserving of an Honorary Oscar.
