Elvis: The Ultimate Album Guide
Magazine Review by Nigel Patterson
|
Vintage Rock Presents October 2024 issue is 'Elvis: The Ultimate Album Guide'.
The latest issue brings you the most comprehensive guide yet to the albums of Elvis Presley, starting with his incendiary debut through to his final LP of original recordings, 1977’s Moody Blue.
But that’s not all – we also take a look at the many live albums and EPs the King put out during his lifetime, as well as the remix records that have emerged in the years since his death.
Whether you own everything by Elvis already, or you’re just starting out on your Presley journey, this new special issue is for you....
Vintage Rock Presents Elvis - The Ultimate Album Guide
Reviewed by Nigel Patterson , November 2024 |

Anthem Publishing's monthly UK magazine, Vintage Rock, usually features plenty of Elvis including articles, CD reviews and merchandise ads. Testament to his enduring popularity, Vintage Rock also produces an “annual” (130-page) magazine, each with a specific theme, devoted entirely to Elvis.
The 2024 theme is Elvis' albums - studio, soundtracks - live concerts (these are much better than the dead ones) - compilations - EPs - remixes.
The Text:
Following a strong Contents page, the opening section 'Elvis on Record' is an honest and interesting reflection on his album catalogue and aptly asks the question:
In a career that spanned over two decades, Elvis was the whole package - but was he really an album artist?
The page design is strong. Each album is afforded two pages (a few of the more important releases such as Elvis Is Back, How Great Thou Art, and From Elvis In Memphis get four pages).
Discussion of each album is by one of the many writers to Vintage Rock, several of them doing overtime with more than one album contribution.
Each album is introduced by a generously sized image of its cover followed by thoughtful analysis of the record's content, and its context in the Elvis Presley story. There is also a coloured rectangular box neatly detailing key release information and track listing.
I was impressed with the breadth of the thoughtful views expressed by each contributor. I had to pause and consider many of them, and in the process often learned something new or reminded of something I'd long forgotten. Examples include:
o Why the Clambake soundtrack was uninspired but a pivotal point in Elvis' career
o The studio album that gave listeners a mix of gospel, country, soul and pop
o The album that had bad production, weak ballads and vanilla rockers
o Which album played to Elvis' most conservative followers.
Along the journey the authors pose (and answer) various questions, for example:
o Did Something for Everybody live up to its title?
o Which album was viewed as Good Times Part II?
The “verdict” for each album is thoughtful, honest (the authors don’t shy away from calling the good, the bad, and the mediocre) and evocative, collectively causing you to react – consider these examples:
Elvis Presley (1956): Elvis' first long-player is one of the most iconic records in history and set the template for the rock 'n' roll revolution. (Martin Ruddock)
Elvis Is Back: (quoting John Lennon's acidic remark that Elvis "died when he went in the Army") Presumably, he meant Elvis lost the spirit of original, raw, unbridled rebellion, so his groundbreaking rockabilly clarion call was gone. Technically, that may be the case, but in its place, surely, was a different compensation, for less purist fans at least: an evolved sound and more sophisticated style. If anything, the former Private Presley 43 310 761* was musically reborn. (Julie Burns)
It Happened At The World's Fair: [This] is not a bad album, but everything about it, from cover to the running time (a scant 20 minutes) suggests a bang-it-out-quick-and-have-done-with-it nature. (Will Salmon)
Frankie and Johnny: There was a strong Dixieland and ragtime vibe to this soundtrack, one that added fresh flavours to the Elvis oeuvre. (Douglas McPherson)
Elvis Country: There had always been a slither of country in the King's work but until 1971's Elvis Country, Elvis had never gone fully Nashville. But as you'd expect, when he did, he produced one of the great perennials of the genre. (Julie Burns)
On Stage - February, 1970: Returning to live performance at the International Hotel, Las Vegas in the summer of '69, Elvis created one of the most visionary live shows of the era. (Julie Burns)
Reviewers note: Strangely, On Stage February 1970 did not receive a two-page treatment, instead being relegated to the overview section, The King Live & Kicking
Raised on Rock: Ignore the misleading title - anyone expecting a 1950s style rockin' affair, would have been disappointed by Elvis' 19th studio effort, which found the King in a sombre state. (Jordan Bassett)
Moody Blue: Isn’t really a complete, choreographed album but rather a mop-up affair.. No wonder, then, that it sounds like a Frankenstein’s Monster of a record, with little cohesion or sense of narrative. .. Elvis' later song choices were often iffy, and the covers occasionally let down by the overly polite production, but Elvis’s voice - in the studio certainly - was always the star of the show. (Steve O'Brien)
Bonus sections in the magazine include:
o Personal Best - from definitive to groundbreaking, 9 of the best compilations
o The Top 20 EPs (7" elongated play)
o Behind The Desk - The Producers - Felton Jarvis and Steve Sholes
Reviewers note: Elvis was primarily a 'singles' artist, especially at the start of his
career. Col Parker realised the worth in releasing key singles and then
compiling them later on for 'Golden Record' collections.
These compilations were major album releases in Elvis' legacy. Unfortunately this magazine basically ignores these big-selling albums, only choosing nine compilations in the Personal Best section.
Golden Records Vol.2 (with its stunning album cover!) and Gold Records Vol.4 don't even get a mention. Similarly 'For LP Fans Only' only gets a minor byline.
The narrative content ends with an infographic, Elvis' Album Career in Numbers.
As examinations of an artist's works are intrinsically subjective, there is much in the magazine to stimulate debate, and like most publications there is the occasional factual error (but nothing nothing egregious).
o Elvis conspiracists (based on various Facebook groups there are still quite a few around) will undoubtedly have a field day (pun intended) with Elvis' Army serial number being understated by 10 million* (see Elvis Is Back earlier in this review), as it unwittingly plays into the unfounded belief there was "more than one Elvis" during his Army stint.
o The photo of Elvis in the studio accompanying his first album (as above) states that it is Elvis playing his Gibson guitar 'circa 1956', yet it
is a familiar picture of Elvis in his "Jailhouse Rock" striped jacket and hairstyle - also shown later in the magazine.
o In Julie Burns' fascinating essay, Interpreting Elvis, an examination of the various Elvis remix albums, she understates the global impact of the 2002 smash hit, Elvis vs JXL aka 'A Little Less Conversation'. It was a top 10 hit in at least 25 countries (quite a few more than the stated "more than 18") and for the record, it reached the top spot on at least 15 major charts, including the United World Chart.
o For some strange reason the 2017 FTD "special edition" double-LP cover of 'Speedway' is used rather than the original RCA album cover. To be honest however the original LP cover was one of RCA / Parker's very worst designs.

Visuals:
The Ultimate Album Guide is enhanced by quality color and b&w images from every part of Elvis' recording career, all printed on gloss paper stock. While we have seen them before, they never fail to impress, particularly several glorious full-page shots.
Verdict: Vintage Rock Presents Elvis - The Ultimate Album Guide is a great read, well written by seasoned rock music journalists, full of interesting information and considered analysis. It is unfortunate that well-written periodicals aren't afforded the same level of attention to detail as some other Elvis publications. As an introduction to, or refresher course about, the eclectic Elvis Presley album catalogue, it is a publication well worth your attention.
The magazine is now available in selected newsagents in the UK and Australasia, and online:

From: DEGE
This magazine features a poor compilation of Elvis's musical catalog!
An extremely , and very brief review of Gold records 1 in magazine.
Gold records #2 IS NOT EVEN IN THE BOOK!!! Neither is Gold records 3! Neither Gold records 4!
Nothing on "A date with Elvis".....I could go on!
Should not encourage a book on Elvis"s discography , and Leave a handful of albums out of the list!!!!!!
I'm sorry I purchased this!!!!!
From: StuartT
I enjoyed your review.
Vintage Rock always posts good articles about elvis but this LP review magazine was great to read through.
I sometimes disagreed with them but in general it was a good overview.
Some reviews missed out some important songs and I cannot agree that Elvis in concert is a great final farewell like they think.
my faveorite album 50 millions fans Gold Records is not featured.
It deserves a BIG section.
but overall pretty good
Thanks for the link to the digital version.
I am in Australia so waiting for the printed magazine is very annoying
From: RobertA
In the old days you could always find an ELVIS magazine in the newsagents but sadly those days have gone.
i think that Vintage Rock is one of the few reliable UK magazines with good stories and rocknroll reviews.
You can often find Elvis somewhere on the cover page.
so it was great to see the front of this new magazine in my corner shop with a BIG photo of Elvis.
well done Vintage rocks
I did not agree with all the reviews but the pictures were very good, made me go look at my collections again.
I am looking forward to a magazine covering all of Elvis Presley singles. how would that be!!
that would be a very big issue with lots of great cover photos
thanks you for your review

(Book Review) Elvis - The King of Fashion (Lorraine Gibson): This recent book release by award-winning journalist, Lorraine Gibson, is a biography infused with Elvis’ iconic fashion sense.
The book's description includes.. 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.
EIN’s Nigel Patterson, replete with blue suede shoes, paisley shirt and polarised sunglasses, took time out to read Ms Gibson’s entertaining release.

Spotlight on the new 'Vintage Rock' Magazine: The very first issue of the UK 'Vintage Rock' magazine - published in 2011 - features Elvis on the cover. Inside the magazine fans can read a great feature article that details Elvis' early years (up to 1955) and also check out some rare childhood photos. The first two lines of the Elvis feature article read, "Elvis Presley was more than a singer. He was - and still is - an icon of pop culture, the first larger than life superstar, a folk hero and legend, yet also something of a myth."
In addition to this another article ‘The Roots Of Rock‘n’Roll’ also features a close-up on Scotty Moore and Elvis.

(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.
