About this product

Product Information

This volume contains a true treasure trove of spontaneous and completely unrehearsed photographs of The King of Rock n Roll. Elvis both famous pictures and some that have never before been published. In 1956, a twenty-one-year-old Elvis Presley was at the beginning of his remarkable and unparalleled career and photographer Alfred Wertheimer was asked by Presley's new label, RCA Victor, to photograph the rising star. With unimpeded access to the young performer, Wertheimer was able to capture the unguarded and everyday moments in Elvis' life during that crucial year. This was a year that took Presley from Tupelo, Mississippi to the silver screen , and to the verge of international stardom and to his coronation as " The King of Rock 'n' Roll ." As Alfred Wertheimer photographed Elvis during 1956 , and again in 1958 , he created classic images that are spontaneous , unrehearsed and completely without artifice . Wertheimer's photographs of Elvis are extraordinary and he appears almost ethereal , whether reading a newspaper while waiting for a cab, or washing his hands during one of his many train trips . After 1958 and Elvis' induction into the army, the world seemingly forgot about Wertheimer's magical photographs - for nineteen years - until Aug 16, 1977, the day Elvis died and Time Magazine called. "The phone hasn't really stopped ringing in the last thirty years," observes Wertheimer. Many of the photographs in this visual treasury are previously unpublished and some have become almost as famous as the man himself.

Great book
This is a great book to have for any Elvis fan. It contains plenty of great photographs of Elvis behind the scenes before he became well known. Pics of him at the recording studio, at concerts, at home etc. I was surprised at the size of the book, it's really but that just makes the content of the book stand out even more. It's a great addition to anyone's collection. Highly recommended. Plus I bought it at great price.

A Great Pictorial History of Elvis in 1956
Absolutely fabulous. A must for any Elvis fan. I love the personal touches added by Alfred Wertheimer. And his up close photos are incredible. This gives us a close up of the King just as he is making his ascent to the throne. It’s very well done. I love that Alfred Wertheimer was right there on the greatest day in Rock and Roll history. New York City - July 2, 1956.
