ok, Is there any footage of Elvis where his bein interviewed on his life?

Was there any filmed on him in the army

I'm gonna start the ball rolling here... but that's ALL I'm going to do. It's all I feel I'm qualified to do. I'm pretty much an Elvis newbie, too. I've only seriously been following the guy since June/July of last year.

There is footage out there where Elvis is being interviewed on his life (or certainly his career - which, for most intents and purposes, was his life). It's a bit hard to come by. As far as I know (and I hope I'm wrong), it's mostly scattered about in bits and pieces. It would be nice to think there's a fairly meaty compilation out there. Actually, I DO know of something. There's a CD or two out there that specifically claims to hold virtually every spoken audio recording of Elvis ever made - that's press interviews, on-stage banter, and strangest of all, taped phone conversations!

For now, I can provide you with one thing. The press conference that was held prior to Elvis' record breaking performances at Madison Square Garden is available on this page:

http://www.msg1972.com/HP/pressconference.htm

The complete conference, in audio format, can be downloaded directly here:

http://www.msg1972.com/pic%60s/media/interview.mp3

The link is on the page but I thought I'd provide it. DO refer to that page, however. It has a transcript of the interview which will help you make out which questions are being asked. Two issues. Some of the questions are listed in the wrong order in the transcript. I've no idea why... but you can usually find your place pretty quickly. Unfortunately, the MP3 recording is also of a pretty low quality. There's a better version out on CD/Video CD/DVD - but that's the only free one I know of. :p

Now, as for the army thing. Yes, footage exists. I've actually seen at least one DVD entirely devoted to this period of Elvis' life - claiming to have plenty of army footage - in a retail shop before. I think it's called "The Missing Years" or some such. My mate also bought me a cheap documentary about Elvis called "Promised Land". And I do mean cheap!!! But it too has some army footage on there. In fact, that's the only footage it has - the rest of Elvis' life is told with jumbled up and repeating still images! The army was an interesting period of Elvis' life. It was the only time he ever left the North American continent. And due to his time away, he really thought his career was over!

P.S. I'm sorry if I've been a bit vague with some of the above. It's deliberate. I'm hoping some other people will read my post, pick out the relevant bits and provide you with much more info.

Nice pic mate!
But I still think if u asked aload of women AND men
(mostly GAY,obviously), They'd prefer him with the black hair. Dont get me wrong elvis looked good no matter what.....Just look at that face!!
BUT in my oppinion he looked at his best with his shiney black her slicked back!.

And yeh women still lusted after him at the end, but NOT because fat men were suddenly seen as attractive, BUT coz the name he made for himself back then,
{Looks go a long way, But personallity always goes the distance.}
And thats why elvis remained then and now in peoples hearts all over the world......AND PROBRLY ALIENS aswell!!
He was very lucky to be born with good looks, good heart and very good voice................who wouldn't of wannid to shag him..even when over weight and a bit mingin.

elvis looked good no matter what.....Just look at that face!!
BUT in my oppinion he looked at his best with his shiney black her slicked back!.

You liked Elvis with black hair......does it make you gay? Little boys loved Elvis....And I am talking about boys 6 and seven years old..Do you think they are gay too?Elvis was especial and that is why everyone liked him.What can a seven year old boy see in Elvi's boddy?

Wait hold on here a minute, If theres bits and piece's of footage flyin about, surely there must be loads of fans and even people who have probly wanted to make some money and put the footage together then put it up on the net for sale or whatever?

That's a reasonable conclusion. I just have absolutely no idea where it may lie. I was hoping someone else would have come up with something by now...
