1st Edition . Hardcover. As New/Near Fine. As new gray and black cloth and paper over boards hardcover w gilt font on spine. Stated first edtn/printing. No markings, except remainder line on bottom page edge. Dust jacket unclipped, tiny repaired tear on top spine back and bottom flap, now under protective mylar."Guralnick, author of first-rate collections of musician profiles such as Lost Highway and Feel Like Going Home, notes that what he wanted to do in Last Train to Memphis was to ''rescue Elvis Presley from the dreary bondage of myth, from the oppressive aftershock of cultural significance.'' To accomplish this, he interviewed scores of people, plowed through the mini-industry of Presley publishing, and then wiped the slate clean: Guralnick gives us a life of Elvis as if it had never been told before, and in a sense, it hasn't, not this way.Last Train is filled with great stories both large and small. These range from meticulous re-creations of Elvis' early recording sessions-scenes illustrating that Presley, possessed of an enormous natural talent, was also a self-conscious artist well aware that he was creating revolutionary popular music-to the singer's succinct endorsement of Adlai Stevenson for President in 1956: ''I don't dig the intellectual bit, but I'm telling you, man, he knows the most.''
