Elvis Presley Golden Boy Elvis - Fachmagazin 1-2026

Golden Boy Elvis is a German-language magazine created by fans for fans, and we look forward to welcoming many new readers from among Elvis fans and enthusiasts. Golden Boy Elvis is a 60-page, full-colour, high-quality magazine in A4 format.

We’re kicking off the magazine’s 20th volume(!) with a “G.I. BLUES” special. The occasion is the FTD Super Box set released late last year to mark the 65th anniversary. This is going to be a treat for purists. We are not aware of any analysis nearly as comprehensive as this collaborative work by Christian Heinzl, Robert Schwarzgruber, and Helmut Radermacher. Richly illustrated, it covers absolutely EVERYTHING about the box set, the books, the masters, and the outtakes. Anyone who owns the box set should be sure to get this issue of the magazine. It’s practically the user manual!

In addition, Josef Ehrler presents worldwide “G.I. BLUES” vinyl treasures from his unique collection.

The RILLEN-REVUE-REMAKE focuses on the singles “IT HURTS ME/SUSPICION” (47-9533), “KISSIN’ COUSINS/IT HURTS ME” (47-8307), and “KISSIN’ COUSINS/ONE BOY TWO LITTLE GIRLS” (47-9546) .

The SONGS FROM A TO Z series also continues with the letter “F,” featuring “FADED LOVE” and “FAIRYTALE”

Enjoy GBE …
