-January 01, 2009 - Teaser-Trailer "Dixieland Delight"

sd


Happy new (Elvis-) Year to all of you!

Let's start the new year with Elvis, all right? Praytome Publishing proudly presents the teaser trailer for the upcoming Bud Glass Productions' project "Dixieland Delight - A Memorial Day Weekend With The King".

During the research an unbelievable amount of pictures and information surfaced. Of course, the Huntsville shows - 5 performances in a row in a single venue, that was even more than everybody expected and topped the Madison Square Garden record with 4 shows in a row.

This Huntsville event was even so spectacular that the TV station's reporter team shoot pro-footage to cover this moment. The producers of "Dixieland Delight" not only only traced down the reporter but also the complete footage. But have yourself a look at the trailer, there is so much to discover that the previously announced book / DVD release can not represent the event in its entirety. Therefor you can expect something that is really different from anything you have ever seen before...

-December 20, 2008 - Trailer "World's Best Kept Secret"

sd


Finally - just in time for the Christmas Holidays we have a special gift for you. Oh no, wait - to be exact, there are two gifts in all.

The first one:

Praytome Publishing proudly presents the Trailer for "Elvis live at Del Webb's Sahara Tahoe - World's Best Kept Secret" by author Sue McCasland and collector Joseph A. Krein.

When in 2003 the first Elvis book trailer (Elvis - Behind The Image) ever was released we at Praytome Publishing didn't have a single clue that from then on, the Elvisworld would expect with every new release an accompanying trailer. We even receive emails in case the product is released but the trailer is not available.. how cool is that ?

More than 2 years ago when we announced this project in our "Elvis Presley - Paternity Suit" release.

Author Bud Glass came up with a special idea of presenting this unique event in a very special way. It will be something very uncommon and different from any other product that Praytome Publishing has released in the past. Being released in 2009 we will celebrate this special project starting

JANUARY 01, 2009 - MIDNIGHT

-August 06, 2008 - Part 4 of the "Making Of"

sd




In the 4th part of the "Making Of" there is a surprising moment for author Sue McCasland. When she left the Praytome Publishing office for several minutes a special VIP guest sneaked in and sat down on the chair where normally designer Regina Wiegand is sitting. Because Sue had met the VIP guest only 6 months ago in the U.S. the face was familiar to her and when she returned to the office it took some seconds for her to realize what just had happened. Of course, the surprising moment has been captured on candid camera.

See who came around: It's Ed Bonja, who wrote the foreword for the Tahoe book and was the photographer for Elvis being in charge of most of the LP Cover shots from the 1970's.

There's a lot of fun and soon everybody realized that Ed not only came around to say "hi" but will stay for several days. Have a look at the video yourself...

In the next few days the 5th part of the "Making Of" will be available on this website. So stay tuned!
