A King-Size Anniversary
Come Aug. 16, it will have been 25 years since Elvis Presley passed on, and the Elvis industry is gearing up to make sure those few fans who have not seen him since then do not forget his face. The host of commemorative items include no-brainers like a greatest-hits CD (RCA) and a four-CD box set (BMG Heritage) of more than 100 unreleased songs. There's also the obligatory coffee-table book and guide to the King's queens and consorts. Kids born in the post-Elvis years will get a chance to become fans too. An animated Disney movie about a tiny Elvis fan hits theaters June 21. --By Roy B. White
--THE GIRLS' GUIDE TO ELVIS It's just like being in junior high again. This book offers the scoop on Elvis' way with women--the wives, the girlfriends, the screaming fans--and leaves plenty of room for ever important hair and wardrobe discussion. Oh, yeah, a rundown of Elvis films and concert highlights too.
--LILO AND STITCH In this film, young Lilo, a Hawaiian girl with a deep sense of ohana (family), befriends a stray dog on the run from another galaxy. What better melodies to accompany their adventures in the tropics than Lilo's favorite Elvis hits?
--THE ELVIS TREASURES This coffee-table scrapbook is filled with reproductions of Elvisabilia, from a contract with RCA to an eighth-grade library card, which readers can tuck into the pocket of their best rhinestone-studded jumpsuit.
