--Elvis
on Tour '75 - Photos from the Heart
|
|
The
beginning:
Due to our worldwide appreciation of the book
and DVD productions author Sandi Pichon got
attentive to our work, and she desired highest
quality for her first pictorial. After going
through the successful book "Born to
Rock" by Bud Glass she couldn't imagine
any other producer than Praytome Publishing
for her project. After viewing the extensive
photo collection our highly trained team rather
promptly crystallized the concerts in Atlanta
'75 that show Elvis in his very seldom shown
outfits. Until now there had only been a handful
of photos with those outfits, and the most
known ones were not even from the shows in
Atlanta.
The
book:
Experience
a colorful, exciting weekend with Elvis in
Atlanta 1975
in the company of Sandy Pichon, author of
"Raised on Elvis! Elvis! Elvis!"

The content:
The book
starts with the tour plan 1975 as a general
survey followed by a subdivision of the
4 documented concerts.
Besides the
setting up survey of the presented songs
at the specific concert you find further
information about the worn jumpsuit, the
venue, the attendance and of course the
date of the concerts. So the viewer has
the possibility to follow the concert in
direct manner.
Also the run of the photos allows everyone
to be very close to the event. Author Sandi
Pichon gives us insight into her diary about
three concerts in Atlanta in the time from
April 30th to May 2nd and a concert in Jacksonville
on April 25th , 1975

On
120 pages you find more than 400 restored
photos. Partly the pictures give the impression
as they were just taken yesterday. From the
close-up photos, just showing the details
of the jumpsuits, up to the panoramic shots
with Elvis and his band on stage these photos
give the viewer the idea to sit in the audience.
Author Sandi Pichon collected detailed comments
of happenings, additionally accompanied with
memorabilia, tickets, postcards and newspaper
articles
Her
exact memories and unique photos are enriched
with the fantastic photos of the profi photographer
Keith Alverson. the photos by Sue McCasland
and George Hill (taken from the collection
of Derek Phillips) complete the presented
concerts.

Die
Umsetzung:
Evolution
instead of revolution
Being
a pictorial, the brilliant concept of Bud
Glass' "Born to Rock" had to be
adapted and with much care developed to Sandi
Pichon's book.
In
no way it should have been only a collection
of photos put together one after the other
denying the viewer any background information.
What did the advertisement to "Born to
Rock" say: The Time is Over to put a
single picture on a single page and call it
a book. Like "Born to Rock" this
book should concentrate on the specific concerts
and give all available information about the
shows.

This
book should apply higher standards in layout
and design . Another goal was to give the
reader the atmosphere of a concert including
the feeling of being part of the event. Respecting
that the photographer takes the photos mostly
from the same place, so there is no change
in the perspective, the shots of the photographer
look quite alike. To arrange a better feeling
of the concert it was possible to win great
persons of the Elvis' world like Keith Alverson,
Sue McCasland and George Hill / Derek Phillips
contributing their shots of the shows.
The guiding layout offers panorama shots of
the scene on stage, close-ups and candid shots
showing Elvis off stage. Although these were
excellent photos all now available technical
possibilities were used to improve the material.
All photos in the pictorial use exact the
same colorprint disregarding the different
photographers, different cameras and different
luminous intensity. That means the blue of
the famous shirts is the same in all photos.
So far to the amount of work to bring out
such a masterpiece.

You not only
see small parts of the concert but
all exceptional events from the first
moment Elvis comes on stage are documented,
and all that in different perspectives.
Sandi Pichon's remembrance of that
time when Elvis was king makes the
work round.
Elvis
on Tour '75 shows the famous two-pieces-outfits
for the first time.
With
the release of "Born To Rock"
and "Behind The Image - Vol.2"
every time new standards were defined
and set so that the producers have
made it their aim to continue with
this tradition at the latest production.
Quality starts, as you know, outside.
Due to your bookshelf looking good,
the same dimensions as on BTI were
used. As well, like at the homonymous
predecessor, a hardcover was chosen.
Elvis on Tour 75 uses the same high
quality printing process how it was
already used for "Born To Rock".
In addition the paper got a special
treatment, a surface coating was applied,
which will protect the pages from
fingerprints remaining.

The
aim to create a condign predecessor who doesn't
have to hide in the shadow of the original was
reached by the producers with the thought "evolution
instead of revolution": The fan gets more
pictures than in every other concert book and
covers the 4 shows from the first to the last
moment.
One
of the strict burdens, the production team
has set themselves before the start of the
project was, to create the most high-quality
product possible at the lowest price. This
led to us being able to offer our hardcover
book cheaper than comparable equal concurrence-products,
which are being sold for 50-75 Dollars. Our
end-consumer price: $39.00 plus individual
postage and packing costs (depending on your
dwelling place).
