It contains a collection of very rare interviews from radio and TV broadcasts (with Ginger Alden, Dr. Nick, Dr. Ghanem, Rick Stanley among others) concerning Elvis Presley tragic death, health and drug problems was. It is completed with more than twenty minutes of remastered and mostly unreleased 1977 live tracks taken from quality audience recorded tapes. Excerpt from 8 pages booklet: In the summer of 1979, a production team from sensational investigative TV show 20/20 moved down to Memphis. In September, the Tennessee Medical Board charged Dr Nick with gross malpractice over the illegal prescription of painkillers and other drugs to Elvis, and 13 other patients. The hour-long 20/20 special, 'The Elvis Cover-Up', was broadcast in 1979, maintaining that Presley was killed by an overdose of prescription drugs. The Medical Board Tribunal heard evidence of astounding volumes of prescriptions written by Dr Nick. Between 1975 and 1977, he had prescribed 19,000 doses of drugs. In the first eight months of 1977 alone, he had written 199 prescriptions totaling more than 10,000 doses of sedatives, amphetamines and narcotics: all in Elvis's name." |
