From the press release:
Elvis
Is Back is all about Elvis�
return to the music scene in
1960. This year was a
bittersweet one for Elvis.
He was being discharged from
the Army. Music had changed
in two years and he was a
little insecure about his
music career. Yet he enters
the sessions with such
ambition and determination.
He delivers a new mature
diverse voice. �It's Now Or
Never� and �Surrender� are
truly challenging for Elvis.
He proofs himself to be a
truly talented singer and
not just a flash in the pan.
These recording sessions
will forever stand out in
Elvis� history.
It�s almost as if Elvis hit
the ground running upon his
return. The Colonel had been
busy preparing for Elvis'
return for a very long time.
Not only were the recording
sessions lined up, an
appearance on the ABC
televised Frank Sinatra
Special and the filming for
�G.I. Blues� were
immediately following.
His appearance on the
Sinatra Special is warmly
received by the public.
Elvis innocently steals the
show from Sinatra. Yet the
repertoire between the two
performers is very apparent.
�G.I. Blues� is a very
successful film for Elvis
although Elvis hates being
in uniform again.
During this year, Elvis is
also experiencing many
changes in his personal
life. Elvis has met
Priscilla while in Germany.
But he returns to his long
time girlfriend Anita Wood.
They continue their
relationship where it left
off before Elvis left for
Germany. Vernon marries Dee,
which is hard on Elvis
because of the loss of his
mother. Elvis also brings
many of his friends from
Germany home and the Memphis
Mafia
is formed.
But still the most important
thing during the year 1960
is the amazing recording
sessions. We have two
incredible albums from this
year, �Elvis Is Back� and
�His Hand In Mine.� Elvis
truly proves his ability as
a performer. He conquers
every challenge he is faced
with and proves Elvis is
back!
"Elvis Is Back" includes
many never before seen
pictures from this period.
There is even some very
interesting ones from the
filming of "G.I. Blues".
Those were not used in the
"Inside G.I. Blues" book.
The book is available from
Elvis Unlimited.
