Actually, it's in two volumes !
Elvis UK - The Ultimate Guide to Elvis Presley's British Record Releases 1956-86
by John Townson, Gordon Minto & George Richardson published in 1987.
Elvis UK2 - The Ultimate Guide to Elvis Presley's British Record Releases 1986-2002
by John Townson & Gordon Minto published in 2002.
It might be tricky to track down a copy of either these days, but good luck !
What I'm waiting for is the "CD" edition[s] !

The second one is easy to pick up, Colin. It's the first that I need. Thanks.

Gordon, along with John Townson, is actually working on a third volume of these books which will cover CD releases

I don't sorry, and Gordon only has an old battered copy himself - mine is in better condition than his!
I would say just keep looking on Ebay, although they do sell for silly money sometimes!

I'm still not clear if it includes CDs !
If it does, it might be worth a look.
If it doesn't, it won't be much of an improvement on the original Elvis UK books - just more up-to-date...

Re: GORDON MINTO'S ELVIS UK BOOK
Well, it will be available. That's the main thing. 
As it stands, there is currently no accessible reference for UK vinyl released in Elvis' lifetime. This will be a very welcome addition.
It's released on September 1st. Colin, I will try to find out for you if it includes CDs.
