That’s really kool. I have a friend that is a major Elvis fan, who is a lot younger, and his whole house is almost like that. LOL

I used to have a room just dedicated to all my musical stuff, but unfortunately, since then, I have not been able to retain a room like that, but maybe someday, once again, I’m optimistic about it.

I used to have an Elvis room with Elvis pics,posters,gold discs etc on all 4 walls but about 5/6 yrs ago took down most of it leavin just one wall Elvis and turning into a more general music room .
I might have to change it up again as I'm going to need more IKEA Kallax shelving for my records soon.

I've got some Elvis CDs on a shelving unit, along with various other performers / groups. All the sessions sets I've got plus releases that are the same size. The rest are either in boxes under the bed, on top of a wardrobe, still in a box from when we moved a couple of years ago or in a spare room.

One day I'll sort out a proper setup.

I used to have one also, but as I was nearing 60 (years ago!) , I was getting a bit embarrassed about it, so I turned into an autograph gallery with certain LPs, sheet music and CDs Ive had signed by many different people. BTW, my Elvis room never had a post death item on the wall. I couldnt stand all the cheapo marketing on most of the stuff that came for strictly a money grab. I only put up original movie posters , lobby cards(early films only), sheet music, etc from his lifetime as an active artist.

I used to have a room that looked like the room Joe Esposito walks into in TTWII where every inch of every wall, including the ceiling was plastered with pictures and posters of Elvis. It was where my stereo and records were in the 70's

I also used to have a room dedicated to the Hillbilly Cat but the reserved space for that particular purpose has been dwindling in recent years.
As a sad result, I only have this glass display in the living room that includes a roughly 60% of my whole collection (basically the 1954 to 1962 era + the comeback years.)
The rest is safely stored in boxes, somewhere in the attic IIRC.

Man I’m so jealous. Y’all’s setup looks so nice and fantastic looking! My stuff is just all over the place. Terribly unorganized. Sigh

I don’t have a den or shrine dedicated to Elvis, but I do have a den or box room that includes my Elvis collection and records/CDs by so many other artists. One day, I might actually take some photos of it.

Since moving from a house to an apartment after retiring, what I have in our apartment is slightly less than my previous man cave! I’m down to 207 albums and 262 CDs and a few books, with the rest in storage until I figure out where I can put them.

Very nice, but did I see the Albert Goldman book on your shelf?


I did as well. Hardcover, too. While the Guralnick classic pair are in softcover, oh the pain.

Reconsider baby . . .

It's never too late to do the right thing.

Lots of beautiful tuff there otherwise, a very strong FTD representation!

What a beautifully and elegantly arranged space for the Elvis related material. Kudos
