New to Elvis? Start here.
For TCBCast's 200th (and 201st) episode, Gurdip Ladhar, Justin Gausman and Bec Wyles, three longtime Elvis fans, are presenting their hand-picked starter kits for newer Elvis fans who might just be coming into the fandom: albums, movies, biographies, even things as fundamental as important names that you will find popping up in and around the Elvis story.
There's no wrong place to start with exploring Elvis's career, but we try to present so much of what we have loved and what we wish we would have known or been given when we became fans.
Part 1 includes albums from within Elvis's lifetime, our ideal compilations of Elvis's greatest highlights, books about his life and career, and just a handful of important names to know.
Part 2 (TCBCast 201) next week will cover non-fiction documentaries, fictionalized biopics, and of course, movies starring Elvis! Plus our weekly Song of the Week segment where we feature the true histories behind the songs.
