Exclusive Audio of Colonel Tom Parker Plus Video from His Personal Archives.




Now, just for Elvis Insiders, we've gone deep into the EPE archives and found something new we're certain you've never heard before. This telephone conversation is between a frustrated Colonel Parker and an RCA executive, regarding an album shipment that had not arrived. Following that is a discussion about both national and international record sales. Listening to this conversation offers the listener a fascinating glimpse into the business style and personality of Colonel Parker.

To complete the experience, the audio has been edited with archival video shot in 1990, when Elvis Presley Enterprises obtained Colonel Tom Parker's business archives. Included in the acquisition were Elvis-related artifacts, images, and documents. Among the valuable collection was Elvis' gold lame suit, the tablecloth for the contract for the 1969 International Hotel engagements in Las Vegas and a Cadillac Elvis gave Colonel Parker as a gift.

This Fall, The Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville is paying tribute to Colonel Parker in a spotlight exhibit featuring personal photos, correspondence, documents, apparel, a scrapbook, and other artifacts from throughout his career.
