The countdown is running: Only 10 days to go for the

World Premiere
of
"Elvis Behind The Image Vol. 2"!

A phantastic Elvis Movie Night is waiting here for every Elvis fan. The Praytome-Publishing-Team will be on location for sure. And we are looking forward to get a personal feedback about the DVD. Unfortunatelly, Bud Glass from the production crew can't join the event being indispensable during the promotion tour in the US.

The previous Movie Nights have always been a great success. We are looking forward to co-operate with "It´s Elvis Time Hamburg", paying a great tribute and excellent homage to Elvis Presley and his fans by organizing events like this one in the last few years.

We received many ebullient reactions and there are already some amazing reviews online. E.g. there is one on http://www.elvisbay.com.

Sincere thanks is given to them all!

It is unbelievable. The fans are much quicker, than we are with updating our site. Unfortunatelly we could not upload more interesting information about Vol. 2 until now.

We think it is more important to handle and ship all of the orders. But we hang in there. We will upload some news at the menu item "DVD" soon.

We hope you understand that we have some delays in these days. We ship at present thousands of DVDs and we receive also an adequate number of emails, but...

we do our best!

Finally we made it. The DVD "Elvis Behind The Image Vol.2" is released. It arrived from the pressing plant in time and the same day we shipped it to you.

To all of you who did hold off until now, to order this extraordinary DVD - documentary, you should become active now. Our stocks are melting away day by day. That applies to all of you, who have already ordered, but waited to pay so far.

The DVD is a much bigger success than we expected. Many wholesalers from different countries have already ordered twice. "Elvis Behind The Image Vol.1" has been the best selling "Collectors - DVD" so far. Vol. 2 has beaten Vol. 1 in advanced sale easily.

Our concept has been tallied:

- previously unreleased pictures in brilliant quality
- crystal clear 8mm footage
- outstanding interviews with rare celebrity guests
- framed by a tasteful menu and a well thought-out menu navigation

There is very much work and time behind all of this. Never the less, we hold the price, which is low for a collectors - DVD with a comparative small circulation.

Today we want to announce the third and last celebrity guest of the DVD documentary "Elvis Behind The Image Vol. 2". This famous guest of honour is as well an very special and rare interview guest. He will give us deep feelings and first-hand information about Elvis. He will speak about his time with Elvis on Tour and at home in Graceland. Many privat stories will provide an insight into Elvis´ life behind the image of a superstar. A very close friend and confidant of Elvis and member of the Elvis´ background group "The Stamps".

More news will follow in the next days. After this incredible lineup of celebrities in our documentary we will talk about the 8mm footage which is a very strong bonus feature on our production.

We've lost one of the greatest Elvis fans and one of the nicest man in the world. Today Rick Rennie died at the age of 58. Our thoughts are with his family! The funeral is the weekend after next weekend in Longview Washington.

Rick started recording Elvis Shows with a smal taperecorder on august 2 1969, unfortunaly his tape was taken away by the security of the International Hotel. February 1970 Rick was back at the international Hotel and he managed to record the 2 shows from the 3th and the 5th. In August 1970 Rick recorded all the Las Vegas shows from the 19th untill the 21th.

On November 11 1970 Rick recorded the show in Portland (Main) near his hometown. He also managed to tape another Portland show on april 27th 1973. The last show that Rick recorded was the mothersday show in Lake Tahoe on may 13th 1973.

Rick Rennie was a sincere and dedicated Elvis-fan, a man who enabled us to hear what an Elvis concert was all about. He also was a man who shared his precious moments with us, those fans who weren't able to see Elvis live. As we all know, this is a very hard time for the ones that are left behind. In this case it's even worse, as Ricks' wife, Jamie, is into financial problems right now. It's even hard for her to pay for the funeral.

If you want to give Rick something back and want to donate a small amount for his funeral, you have to go to ELVISBAY.COM . There you have the possibility to make a donation for Rick.
