 Tupelo Welcomes Home Elvis Presley, featuring two concerts and rare interviews is indeed a well produced. It is released as a CD 'with 40 page hardback book' but it really can be considered a book with CD, albeit a small book. But with a size: 16.7cm (6.6") x 14.4cm (6") x 1.1 cm (3/4") it is bigger than some books released. The CD placing is unique, the disc actually slots in to the back cover, the space is indented into the cover where the CD then clips into a regular CD case holder. Image below. As for the book there is both photos (33) and information, a great clear photo of Elvis at the same Fair many years earlier NOT winning a prize in the talent show, along with some great shots of Elvis on stage in 1956, including one with a close up of future Country music singer Tammy Wynete, aged 14. Then there is an interview with Ron Brandon, the man who recorded the concert, and this is an interesting story, along with details of the concert and more.
This is a must have document of Elvis' famous appearance at the Mississippi - Alabama Fair and Dairy Show, Tupelo Mississippi on September 26, 1956.
This release also comes with a 40 page hardback book packed with rare photographs on Elvis' homecoming concerts in September 1956, Tupelo Mississippi. The book will include recently acquired new information on the recording of the concerts by Ron Brandon and the WTUP Radio interviews by Charlie Watts.
Text is provided by Roy Turner and Ron Brandon.
