FTD (Follow That Dream Records) announces a beautiful new release: 'Elvis '57 – The Final Fifties Tours'. This impressive book by Alan Hanson takes you back to the legendary year 1957, when Elvis Presley was a true phenomenon. With six number 1 hits, a film to his name and two new films on the way, Elvis conquered the hearts of millions of fans – despite the threat of his impending military service.

'Elvis '57' relives the exciting year in which Elvis, dressed in his iconic gold lamé suit, toured North America. The performances were filled with hysteria: in Vancouver, thousands of spectators had to be evacuated, forcing the concert to be abruptly terminated. The book describes eighteen major cities that Elvis visited, supplemented with eyewitness accounts from disc jockeys and fans who were there.

With over 500 pages and more than 300 photographs, many of them rare and never before published, this volume offers a unique look at a pivotal moment in Elvis' career, just before he had to temporarily put his music aside for his military service.

About the Author: Alan Hanson, a former history teacher, retired from writing. He lives in Spokane, Washington, with his wife Christine. 'Elvis '57 – The Final Fifties Tours' is his first book.
