Medical drummer Bela B. reads the German translation of'Careless Love' by cult author Peter Guralnick. The book is published by Bosworth Music (ISBN 978-3-86543-107-3).
The author and biographer Colin Escott:'Even 35 years after his death, Elvis Presley remains present as an over-icon in rock music. The list of his records from 23 years as a record star is breathtaking: artists with the most chart quotations of all time; most hits; most top 40 hits; most top 10 hits; most weeks at number 1; most number 1 hits in a row; most gold and platinum awards.'.
Bear Family is happy to have received the audio book rights to the most important Elvis biography and successful translation of'Careless Love' by cult author Peter Guralnick for the German edition, "perhaps the best biography ever written about an American musician" (Memphis Commercial Appeal).
The book was published in 2006 by Bosworth Music (ISBN: 978-3-86543-107-0). Peter Guralnick is one of the most important authors who write about music and musicians, and his books include'The Triumph Of Sam Cooke' and'Sweet Soul Music: Rhythm & Blues And The Southern Dream Of Freedom'.
In'Careless Love', the second part of the two-volume Elvis biography, Peter Guralnik describes the period from 1958 to 1977: The Army period in Germany, the return to Memphis, the world hits, the recording sessions and marketing strategies, the films in Hollywood, the 1968 comeback, the wedding with Priscilla, the'Aloha from Hawaii' concert, the drug, medication and eating excesses, and the difficult time in the first half of the 1970s until his tragic death in 1977.
As in the original, the Presley production includes two audio books:
The second part,'Careless Love' will be released in July 2007 on the 30th anniversary of Elvis' death on August 16. Bela B. Felsenheimer is a singing drummer in the rock band Die Ärzte and wrote German music history with them. Since early childhood he has had two hobbies: comics and rock'n' roll. And again and again he enjoys sideshows: For a long time he had a horror comic publishing house EEE (Extrem Erfolgreich Enterprises), and has also been active as an actor for 10 years, for example in the crime scene'Die Kunstfabrik' (2003) or in the cinema productions'Die Edelweißpiraten' (2003) and'Bye Bye Harry' (2006).
Again and again he reads audio book productions, among others'Die Brautprinzessin','Faust vs. Mephisto' or Sacher'Venus im Pelz'. For the Danish animated film'Terkel in Trouble' (2005) he gave his voice to all persons appearing in the film: men, women, children, and sang all the songs. In 2006 he released his first solo album "Bingo!", entered the album charts from position 0 to position 2, and toured extensively with his band Los Helmstedt. In 2007 there are more films and a new Die Ärzte album on the schedule.
"When Elvis died in 1977, I was just 14 years old and gave myself over to the revolt of punk rock. But soon I realized that all this would not have happened without Elvis. Elvis has changed more in this world than most wars or changes of government. Peter Guralnick's book made me feel closer to Elvis than I had thought possible. Sometimes it was as if I was standing right next to him."

Piranha Bela B. manages to present the dense material of the original so calmly and yet respectfully that one hardly gets the impression that one hears oneself through the reading of a non-fiction book.
U-Mag
"Doctor B." presents the meticulously researched biography in the best High German, pointedly and with a pleasant voice. dpa "One can feel one's breath, this book erases all others",
praises Bob Dylan Guralnick's biography.
Bela B. transmits this feeling also in the German translation!
