Interview with Peter Hopkirk
'I'll be in trouble tomorrow for talking to you' he told the Mr Hopkirk. Elvis was wearing his uniform with two rows of medals and swelled with pride as he held up the citation he had received from the army earlier that day. It read :'Awarded to 53310761 Sergeant Elvis A. Presley in recognition of faithful and efficient performance of duty and for outstanding service to the US Army, A.D. 1960'. Elvis then went on to say 'Hardly anyone knows about her, she's only sixteen (fourteen), but she's very mature, and intelligent. I think she's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I've dated plenty of girls while I've been here, both German and Americian, but Priscilla's definitely the sharpest of them. Serious? I think I've said enough already'.

Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
