Rooted in the black music of the 1940s, rock’n’roll exploded in 1954 with Elvis Presley, from the squeals of Little Richard to Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly. Photographs by William Eggleston and Bruce Davidson, an exceptional photo report on Elvis’s first tour, album covers, posters, personal accounts and press cuttings chronicle the saga of a society in change, freeing itself from segregation and inventing teen culture.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
