In the latest issue of Vintage Rock, we take an in-depth look at the making of Baz Luhrmann’s latest creation and first turn as a documentary maker – EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert. This unmissable film takes us behind the scenes of Elvis’s US tour Las Vegas tenure, via never-before-seen footage and live recordings, as well as fascinating insight comes from esteemed members of the Elvis Presley Fan Club.

We also celebrate the 70th anniversary of rock’n’roll’s national anthem, Blue Suede Shoes, with an examination of how “King of Rockabilly” Carl Perkins developed his ground-breaking sound from a young teenager through to the record’s eventual release on Sun Records.

It’s also 85 years since teen sensation Ritchie Valens was born, so we felt it timely to revisit his incendiary debut LP too, a timeless record that broke down racial barriers and threw open the doors for Chicano rock’n’roll. Plus we survey the best of the contenders to be dubbed the “Female Elvis”, from Janis Martin and Jean Chapel to Alis Lesley and Sparkle Moore.

Add in detailed features about Jackie Wilson, doo-wop stars The Clovers and The Dominoes, Joe Clay’s rockin’ perennial Duck Tail, plus Richard Hawley discussing his latest jukebox compilation and more, and you’re in for a treat.
