A Reference Guide to the Colorful Magic of Elvis' Asian Vinyl

It was in the late 1950s that the first Asian records containing Elvis' music were released. Since then, hundreds of records have followed,many with gorgeous covers in different variations and featuring beautiful colored vinyl. Still, in all the years since, no collector's guide on Elvis' Asian vinyl has ever been published. There's never even been a modest, informative booklet about these albums. Until now!

This new book is the very first reference guide to Elvis' Asian vinyl releases. We decided to limit this volume to 10" and 12" records originating from six major Asian countries: Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. Inside, you'll learn where, why and for whom these records were made.

You'll discover what hunting for vinyl in these countries meant, and how surviving records were found. The cover art and label designs are presented to the collector in sizes large enough to read right off the page. And that's exactly what you should do! You'll be sure to chuckle at inadvertent miscues that often appear on the album covers and labels, they are hilarious.

This hardcover book comes into the ring with 500+ pages, measuring 28x28cm and weighing more than 3 kilos. Inside the book you'll find 500+ different records and 2500+ pictures.

Be amazed by the colorful magic of Elvis' Asian vinyl releases.

Elvis Aaron Presley - The King of Rock'n'Roll

(January 8, 1935, Tupelo, MS – August 16, 1977, Memphis, TN)

Elvis Presley (full name Elvis Aaron Presley) is the most outstanding personality in showbiz ever since, and the most popular entertainer the world has ever seen! His musical influence within music history and its following generations of musicians is still unbroken. His huge 'Blast-Off' in the mid-1950s, the rising star from a simply called 'Hillbilly Cat' (at Sun Records) to a lascivious Rock'n'Roll singer with charisma, a male sex symbol (then at RCA Victor) soon popularized him as "The King of Rock'n'Roll" or simply "The King".

His first cut within his tremendous career happened between October 1958 and March 1960 while Elvis was on duty with the U.S. Army and stationed in Germany. It was there in 1959 when he met his later wife Priscilla Beaulieu at age 14. Elvis and Priscilla married on May 1, 1967 in Las Vegas (divorce in 1973). Elvis evolved into an all-around entertainer after his Army service and started starring in Hollywood films. 33 movies in total, including the two concert documentaries 'That's The Way It Is' and 'On Tour'. He again shook the world with his 1968 NBC Comeback TV Special after his movie period without any stage appearances.

This TV special included the first ever unplugged session presented together with musicians from the early days such as Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana. 1973 saw THE TV mega event at all: Elvis Presley, 'Aloha From Hawaii via Satellite'! Elvis' Honolulu appearance, the first time that a show was broadcasted worldwide via satellite! He was ahead of his time! Elvis Presley had 148 US single chart hits, including some so-called double-sider when A- and B-side both hit the charts like his 1956 smash 'Don't Be Cruel b/w Hound Dog', plus 15 EP hits between 1956 and 1977. Two billion of sold media and sound carriers by Elvis Presley is the estimated number! He received 14 Grammy nominations until 1978 and three Grammy for his Gospel interpretations. Elvis was the youngest artist when honored with the Bing Crosby Award (Lifetime Achivement Award) in 1971.

He is presented in 5 Halls of Fame (Rock'n'Roll, Rockabilly, Country, Blues and Gospel). Six of his song interpretations are collected in the Grammy Hall of Fame. On top of it all Elvis Presley got the most gold and platinum records and a Diamond-Award. He definetly is the 'Best selling solo artist in U.S. History' (RIAA – Record Industry Association of America)! Elvis Presley CD albums, vinyl records as LPs or singles at 45rpm - Bear Family offers a huge number of various Elvis Presley CDs, vinyl-LPs and 45rpm singles, vinyl- and CD box sets, books and mags, DVDs, unique and extraordinairy memorabilia!

Elvis Presley is the King of Rock'n'Roll, the biggest icon in showbusiness, and a great person who lives on forever!
