THE COLONELHOLLYWOOD, Tuesday.

7T was at the RCA Records big Press shindig. The VIPs
of the music business were gathered together to celebrate the opening of RCA's new one million dollar Hollywood recording studio.
Most of us " freeloaders" (MDs. critics, managers andDJs) were juicing it up. But not Elvis Presley's manager,
Colonel Parker. He was busy, quietly and surreptitiously.
putting little photos of Elvis on all the tables. However,I

I put down my Scotch and soda and managed to corner
the," Cahnel" to get the latest on Corporal Presley.
"I don't see how Elvis can work in Britain when hegets released from the army," Parker declared.

"You see,he's scheduled immediately for pictures-one at Para-

mount and two at Twentieth.
" However, Elvis does want to play Britain as soon as
he can. Of course, we can't make as much money in
Britain as we do in the States, but we don't care.
"When the time comes we'll only do about five concerts in Britain-just the very biggest places. Only thetop, most experienced, promoters can handle a Presleyconcert. They must be able to control the huge crowds
we get outside --otherwise someone gets hurt."

Romances in Germany
I asked Colonel Parker why Presley doesn't do army
concerts.
"Elvis could have gone into Special Services and lust
done entertaining." he replied. " We didn't want that,though. He would have been subject to so much criticism. I won't even let him do any concerts in his freetime, at week -ends."

What about Elvis's reported romances in Germany?

" I never interfere with his girl friends," the Colonel

insisted. "I don't even ever know what he does in that
direction. I'm just his business manager."

Did Colonel Parker think that Elvis lied lost some of
his great popularity while in the army?
"He's bigger than ever," was the reply. "He received
67.000 fan letters last week. I myself got 12,000. And
last Christmas we received 370,000 Christmas cards."
I inquired if Elvis had made any new records in thelast few months.
"No, he hasn't," Parker replied. " However, the fans
don't have to worry. We've more than enough sides in
the can to release before he gets back to the States."-Howard LucraftAugust 29, 1959. MELODY MAKER-Page 9
