ELVIS CORNER
Elvis lives in Utrecht, on the corner. Elvis Corner. For all your Elvis needs, and who doesn’t need an Elvis necktie, Elvis bottle opener and an Elvis dishtowel? Didn’t you always want your bedroom to smell like Elvis? Need a hunka-hunka burnin’ love? Elvis Corner has the answer: Elvis incense sticks.  

THE ELVIS COLLECTION
Serious collector or not, you have to be impressed with the collection of Elvis CDs, vinyl albums, video tapes and DVDs. The owners Cherry and Johan van Wezel started out running an Internet shop with a CD collection from various artists. Johan admits,"We are big Elvis fans and always specialized in Elvis CDs. Now we sell only Elvis."

 The Elvis stock in the store on the corner is equally as impressive as all the Elvis offerings on the website: http://www.elviscorner.nl/.

ELVIS CDS, DVDs, VIDEOS and BOOKS
Shop owner Johan says, "We are very proud of our CD collection. That's really unique. We have the biggest CD collection in Europe and probably even outside of Europe."

Cool and strange combinations are: Elvis Sings the Beatles, a 5 track promo CD of Elvis singing Beatles songs; Elvis the 56 Sessions Volume One, an upgrade of the 1978 album with 5 introductions to the original master recordings; Elvis in Oklahoma, not Live in Vegas, not Aloha Elvis from Hawaii, but a book about Elvis in Oklahoma.

Rare CDs include: Elvis in Nashville out of Australia, Elvis La Pelvis out of Argentina, Elvis Off-Camera out of Europe.

On DVD and video, look for Elvis documentaries, Elvis Live performances, Elvis Films, and of course Kareoke King and 3 other Elvis karaoke DVDs.

"We import from Chili to South Africa," says Johan, "Everywhere there's an Elvis CD we try to obtain them for the shop."

OTHER ELVIS GIFT IDEAS
Smoking may not be politically correct anymore. But if you have a smoker in the family, you can buy plenty of Elvis accessories to prolong the habit. Elvis Corner has Elvis cigarette lighters, Elvis cigarette boxes and Elvis ashtrays.

Other gift ideas include: An Elvis Beanie Bear for niece Presley whose mother adores the King. An Elvis Jukebox for your grandma who never saw Elvis in concert, but is still his biggest fan. And, Father’s Day is around the corner. Elvis Corner.

LOCATING ELVIS
If you are in Utrecht city center, this shop isn’t just around the corner. From Utrecht Central Station it is a 10 minute bus ride until you are neck high in all that is Elvis. Hop on bus 3 toward Zuilen. Ask the driver to let you off at Concordiastraat. Walk 2 minutes toward the traffic light on the corner. Elvis Corner.
