In 1977, the king of Rock n' roll, Elvis Presley, died. This also happened to be at the height of Super 8, and the king left a huge legacy in this format.

It is not very often we in the film collectors community are treated with a new hardcover book. But Vince Wright, a long time Elvis collector and former Derann employee, has just given us such a book dedicated to Elvis on 8mm.
