ELVIS IS BACK! IN WAKEFIELD, WEST YORKSHIRE, UK

The legacy of Elvis Presley continues. With his amazing talent and unique voice, he's still touching the lives of his army of fans – a quarter of a century after his untimely death at his home, Graceland, in the Southern American City of Memphis, Tennessee.

The Leeds Branch of the Official Elvis Presley Fan Club of Britain, hold regular Elvis events for their members. They wanted to see Elvis on the big screen, and their dream began!

They approached ‘Cineworld,' a major multiplex cinema in the City of Wakefield, West Yorkshire, who were pleased to offer their support for the venture. They secured the rights to show a digitally remastered print of the 1970 Concert documentary, ‘Elvis - That's The Way It Is.' The movie, made by MGM, was first to document Elvis behind the scenes and his concert appearances in Las Vegas.

MGM recently restored the film using the original negatives to digitally remaster the soundtrack and picture. This included the discovery of many ‘lost' reels, held in a salt mine film vault, showing Elvis like never before. The salt mine was a gold mine to his millions of fans.

The Leeds Branch is, quite rightly, very pleased with themselves. An Elvis film hasn't been seen in the City of Wakefield for over 20 years!

Elvis can be seen at 'Cineworld,' Wakefield, on Wednesday 29th May 2002 at 7pm
