Press Note:
The product of two years-long collaboration between David English, Pal Granlund and Paul Richardson, Taking care of Business - in a flash offers readers a detailed chronicle of the life of Elvis Presley and public career between autumn 1970 and the first weeks of 1971.
This turbulent period included not only a tour-route a success, the release of a documentary film and two albums, and a return to a fourth passage to the International Hotel in Las Vegas, but also legendary Elvis meeting with President Richard Nixon and his receiving a national honor of the Young American Chamber of commerce. All these events and other events are generally covered and in meticulous detail.
Through 450 pages, the story is told through newspaper articles, exclusive interviews and primary documents that have been gathered from personal collections, national archives and public libraries. The book is also illustrated through several hundred photographs, many of which are unpublished.
The hardcover book comes with a bonus CD that contains rare material from the time. This includes three alternative officially unreleased recordings of the soundtrack LP Elvis: That's The Way It Is and two mono-mono 1970 original versions that appear here on CD for the first time. The disc also includes a public record of the Elvis concert in Portland, Oregon, November 11, 1970, which, remastered and updated by Jan Eliasson, also gave its first official release.
As a complete package, this book / CD combo takes fans back to a turbulent period in the life and career of Elvis when he - and the people around him - really take care of business in a flash.
