When Presley’s fans, friends and collaborators think of him now, it’s the indelible image of The King decked out in black leather in 1968 ruling his kingdom like the self-proclaimed tiger man he was. - Kory Grow
RAW. PLAYFUL. UNCENSORED.
An in-depth behind the scenes look at the making of the ’68 NBC Television Special that put Elvis back on the map, written by director/producer Steve Binder. Filled with never before told stories and classic images, the book offers fresh perspective on who Elvis was as a man and a musician. Binder recounts his tug of war with Elvis’s controlling manager Colonel Parker, shares his personal battle with censors, and poignantly writes a buddy story where he ultimately gains Elvis’s trust. With a foreword by Priscilla Presley, this 180-page commemorative volume is a must-have for Elvis fans.

Dee CarterNovember 2, 2018I was one of those lucky people who saw the '68 Comeback Special, as it has come to be called, when it aired. I also have the 7 hours of out-takes on DVD, which are priceless! This book adds to the mystique of the man and deals with things which were not known prior to it's writing. I am enjoying the book immensely.

Louise FordSeptember 11, 2018I’ve been an Elvis fan since I was 5 years old and I’m 65 now and gain more love and excitement for him everyday! September 3, 1970, I saw Elvis in concert and I still can’t believe it! Elvis and Lisa’s duet is one I’m sure he would have wanted to be done. It is powerful, believable and just like the rest of the albumn you feel like you’ve been to church! It’s very meaningful and a timely release.
