From Memphis to Taipeh

From Memphis to taipeh
A Reference Guide to the Colorful Magic of Elvis‘ Asian Vinyl
Volume 1
It was in the late 1950s that the first Asian records containing Elvis‘ music were released.
Since then, hundreds of records have followed, many with gorgeous covers in different
variations and featuring beautiful colored vinyl. Still, in all the years since, no collector’s
guide on Elvis’ Asian vinyl has ever been published. There’s never even been a modest,
informative booklet about these albums.
Until now!
This new book is the very first reference guide to Elvis‘ Asian vinyl releases.
We decided to limit this volume to 10” and 12” records originating from six major Asian countries: Hong
Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. Inside, you’ll learn where, why and for
whom these records were made. You‘ll discover what hunting for vinyl in these countries meant, and
how surviving records were found. The cover art and label designs are presented to the collector in
sizes large enough to read right off the page. And that’s exactly what you should do! You’ll be sure to
chuckle at inadvertent miscues that often appear on the album covers and labels, they are hilarious.
