The year was 2006. The telephone rang. We didn't know who was calling, so we grabbed the phone and answered the call. It was Sandi Pichon from America. Of course, we knew her name because we were familiar with her fascinating book "Raised on Elvis! Elvis! Elvis!" published in 2004.

This book allowed an insight into her first meeting with Elvis in the 50's when Elvis was still living at the Audubon Drive. Sandi's story continues and she recalls her moments when she saw Elvis perfom on stage for more than 100 times.

While having her on the phone she explained that she wants to do another book. She couldn't hide her enthusiasm about the quality and the expertise of the Praytome Publishing team and told us that she would be more than happy to do the new pictorial with us.

When the conversation was over one thing was clear:we knew that after "Elvis - Born To Rock" we would be able to offer the fans a new "definitive book".

A so-called "definitve book" concentrates on a specific timeframe from Elvis' life and compiles all available information about the topic - pictures, reviews, memories - everything!

"Definitive books" require a lot of research when the author has the vision of doing the ultimate book with background information not only about the event itself but also about the surroudings. This research can't be done within a week, so you need a lot of help, time and breath because it is really exhausting to bring the items together and compile them all togehter. With Elvis's versatile life it is really a hard task to cover a specific topic in a single book.

The team realized that so far, only a handful of definitive books were available about Elvis' shows. To name a few of them we have "Elvis - Born To Rock" by Bud Glass, "Rock 'n' Nassau" by Russ Howe & Tom Salva, "Elvis by Dagmar" and "Starring In Oklahoma" by Joe Tunzi.

Of course, there are some other books that contain shots from concerts but they are all picture books, most of them have only black / white shots although the photos were available in colour. There is no artwork, no restored pictures, some of them out of format, full of spots and dust, and no other information, just pictures. Books like that can not be called "defintive books".

With "Elvis on Tour '75" being the second pictorial for Praytome Publishing, the team knew what problems would occure and how to handle them. (inky / deep black colours in the photo should be the same inky style in the printed book, fading colours at the border of the pictures caused by wrong way of archiving the negatives / photos, different colours in the picture because of different photographers etc.)

Before the work on the book started the team discussed the five self-proclaimed goals:

• Layout & Artwork
• Information
• Printing Quality
• Restoration
• Cost/ Performance Ratio

Due to our worldwide appreciation of the book and DVD productions author Sandi Pichon got attentive to our work, and she desired highest quality for her first pictorial. After going through the successful book "Born to Rock" by Bud Glass she couldn't imagine any other producer than Praytome Publishing for her project.

After viewing the extensive photo collection our highly trained team rather promptly crystallized the concerts in Atlanta '75 that show Elvis in his very seldom shown outfits. Until now there had only been a handful of photos with those outfits, and the most known ones were not even from the shows in Atlanta.

Experience a colorful, exciting weekend with Elvis in Atlanta 1975 in the company of Sandy Pichon, author of "Raised on Elvis! Elvis! Elvis!"

The Time is over to put a single picture on a single page and call it a book!

Elvis - 100% live on stage

You not only see small parts of the concert but all exceptional events from the first moment Elvis comes on stage are documented, and all that in different perspectives. Sandi Pichon's remembrance of that time when Elvis was king makes the work round.

Elvis on Tour '75 shows the famous two-pieces-outfits for the first time.

With the release of "Born To Rock" and "Behind The Image - Vol.2" every time new standards were defined and set so that the producers have made it their aim to continue with this tradition at the latest production. Quality starts, as you know, outside. Due to your bookshelf looking good, the same dimensions as on BTI were used. As well, like at the homonymous predecessor, a hardcover was chosen. Elvis on Tour 75 uses the same high quality printing process how it was already used for "Born To Rock". In addition the paper got a special treatment, a surface coating was applied, which will protect the pages from fingerprints remaining.

In general fans collect (and Elvis fans are no exception) every little piece of their star. That doesn't only concern print media. They also collect commercial trailers from the TV and even documentaries where their star is only mentioned. Unfortunately the biggest star has to live with the worst marketing.

And when the fan has the luck to get a clip on an Elvis production it is often cheap produced without love, what actually doesn't accord to the artist Elvis Presley. Here, the "Behind The Image Team" goes a different way. The trailer produced by them do not only advertise a product, but they were levied to an art form. They are unusual complex (q.v. the trailer of BTI 3 and the trailer of the book "Born To Rock") and show the love to the detail and the professionalism every product of "Bud Glass Productions" and Praytome Publishing has got. That's why the whole Elvis world is looking forward in advance to every new trailer giving an insight of the newest product.

Here we want to offer you the trailer to the according product you are interested in for download. Don't miss the trailers of our other releases. You find them on the left in the menu by clicking the desired product.

Please note that the according trailers are always clips in the so called web quality (for quicker downloading). So the quality does never show the quality of the DVD/book.

Of course you'll also find all available trailers in the bonus material section (on the medium DVD) in DVD quality.

A lot of costumers attested us in their numerous E-Mails and letters that the trailers are the best the existing in the Elvis world and some even said that only the trailers were worth the money for the DVD. Q.v. "In The Press"!

So now lean back and PUMP UP the volume of your speakers :-)

A new product - a new trailer - a new outfit. With this in mind the idea for the new trailer was born. Compared to the previous trailers this one is a different one although you will notice that it's from the same producers. Annotator Chuck O'Brien (www.chuckobrienpresents.com) did a fabulous job which enriches this new masterpiece.
