PERSBERICHT

Uniek materiaal in documentaire RTV Noord-Holland over Elvis
'De Kapper van the King' toont andere kant van Presley

BEVERWIJK - Vijftien jaar lang was Larry Geller niet alleen de kapper van Elvis Presley, maar ook een van zijn beste vrienden. RTV Noord-Holland zendt op zondag 22 mei een documentaire uit over de schepper van 's werelds meest beroemde vetkuif, die kind aan huis is in het Elvismuseum in Beverwijk. In de film 'De Kapper van the King' toont hij een kant van de rockster die de wereld nooit zag.

De documentaire bevat nooit eerder op tv vertoonde amateuropnamen van Elvis op het podium. Ook de bijzondere privéfoto's van Presley maken van de documentaire een uniek document over wellicht de grootste ster die de wereld ooit kende.

In de indringende documentaire vertelt Geller over de hechte band die hij had met zijn beroemde cliënt. Elvis Presley, moe van het oppervlakkige bestaan als rockster, was wanhopig op zoek naar de zin van het leven. Geller, naast kapper ook deskundig op het gebied van spiritualeit, hielp hem daarbij.

Zo liet hij hem de boeken lezen die Elvis er bijna toe brachten om de wereld van roem en rijkdom op te geven. 'De Profeet' van Kahlil Gibran was het lievelingsboek van The King en is tegenwoordig in het bezit van het Elvis Museum in Beverwijk.

Geller week vijftien jaar lang geen moment van zijn zijde. Na de dood van Elvis was het Geller die het lichaam gereed maakte voor de uitvaart. In de film die RTV Noord-Holland maakte en uitzendt, vertelt Geller uitgebreid over dit emotionele afscheid van zijn beste vriend.

De documentaire De Kapper van The King wordt zondag 22 mei 2005 uitgezonden op RTV Noord-Holland om 10, 12, 14 en 16 uur. De documentaire is gemaakt in samenwerking met Elvis International Shop in Beverwijk en Praytome Publishing. www.epgold.com en www.praytome-publishing.com

-January 22, 2005 - Announcement of the new DVD "Elvis - Adrenaline '71"


Last summer, with only a little advertisement the producers put out a new DVD called "Elvis - Adrenaline '70" and took the fans by surprise this way. The DVD
contained like "Elvis: Behind The Image" newly discovered Super8 footage laser transfered in the well known quality from the original reels. The concept was (and of course still is) to set the focus on a specific year but concentrating only on the Las Vegas concerts of that time. That's why the fan got almost 40 minutes of great footage from the Summer Festival August 1970. An additional documentary covered with pictures and short videoclips the return to live performing in a never before done way.

"Praytome Publishing" is proud to announce today that the production on

"Elvis - Adrenaline '71"

has already startet so that in the near future you'll have the 2nd volume of this "Las Vegas - Elvis DVD Anthology" in your hands. Like its predecessor "Elvis - Adrenaline '71" will have again crystal clear Super 8mm Footage transfered digitally for the first time. Please, contact your local Elvis dealer for more information on this release or visit this website from time to time.






-January 16, 2005 - Announcement of the new book "Elvis: Behind The Image Vol.2"

In 2003 Bud Glass and Praytome Publishing released "Elvis: Behind The Image" - The Book. The DVD with the same title was already released when the book came out but contrary to the rumours, the book did not contain snapshots from the concerts to be seen on DVD. The book, because of its style, layout and content, became quickly the queen of candid books. (Click here to see sample pictures). While the interviews on DVD try to bring a little light into the private life style of our man, the book continues to do so with its great pictures.

Today Praytome Publishing is proud to be able to announce the follow up to the first volume:

"Elvis - Behind The Image -
Welcome To His World - The Book Volume 2"

A new high quality hardcover book full of colour candids to feast your eyes on. Bud Glass has compiled more interesting stories about Elvis, taken directly from the diary of Sandi Miller. Again Russ Howe shares his collection with rare and unique Elvis pictures you've never seen before. While Volume 1 had the "California Homes" as a special highlight be surprised what Volume 2 will come up with !
