TVGuide 5 Cover Elvis Set

April 29, 2005 | Music
These are the five TVGuide covers featuring Elvis. Affixed to the four (4) unique covers of the May 8, 2005 newsstand issues of TV Guide is a never-before-released version of "Young and Beautiful", by Elvis with the Jordanaires.

The four covers feature the following photos:

Tampa concert, 1955
Publicity still, 1956
Jailhouse Rock, 1957
The Comeback Special, 1958
Plus, a bonus subscriber-only cover (which does not include the mini-disc):

Candid moment, 1956 tour (Elvis relaxing with a cup of Pepsi!) The mini-CDs feature four different designs. Each is a different color and has a different Elvis silhouette. Designs are randomly affixed to each of the four different magazine covers.

This issue coincides with two prime-time specials on CBS: "Elvis by the Presleys", the 2-hour special that features a collection of newly recorded interviews with his former wife, Priscilla Beaulieu Presley, and their daughter, Lisa Marie Presley.

ELVIS, a four-hour miniseries on May 8, will tell Presley's electrifying yet tumultuous story - from his humble beginnings to his meteoric rise to fame.

Note:
The CD affixed to the cover may be played only on CD players and computers that have front loading trays. This CD cannot be played on any car stereo or non-loading tray computer or home stereo. Loading the CD onto a non-tray-loading device is likely to damage the machine.

Man, TV Guide LOVES Elvis! I have soo many with his picture and they not only come out with one, they have 4 or 5 covers to choose from. They really make the Elvis covers something special and i think TV Guide needs to be applauded for the way they handle "our man"! " so take this heart i offer you, and never set me free..."

graceland1: Of course Elvis has been on the cover TV Guide numerous times because they make money. All Elvis products released 1954-present were released with the intention of making money. Elvis was, and still is, money in the bank.
