FURTHER PRESERVATION
Since it’s inception, the EAP Society’s goal has
been to preserve Elvis history (it is in the name,
after all). Your membership will help make more
of that possible; including top-quality photo and
video transfers, all of which (where/when/how
permitted) we intend to make available via an
exclusive EAP Society digital preservation gallery.
JOHN MICHAEL HEATH
AUTHOR/MUSIC HISTORIAN/MEGA-COLLECTOR
John is a pop music historian from Arkansas, with a degree in art education.
Growing up near Memphis, Tennessee, he developed a keen interest in the
music of Sun Records, and Elvis Presley in particular. He is the author of
three books about Elvis, including “Memphis Recording Service 1953-1954:
The Beginning of Elvis Presley,” “The Birth of Rock N’ Roll,” and “Memphis
Recording Service 1955: The Rise of Elvis Presley.” John is an avid collector of
artifacts from the early Rock N’ Roll and Soul eras of American popular
music. Having a long history in the Elvis collecting world, his familial
collection is among the largest and most varied in the world, and his
authentication skill has been sought after by a great number of Elvis
memorabilia auctions over the years.
JAMIE KELLEY
SINGER/SONGWRITER/PRODUCER/ACTOR
Having been a part of the Elvis fan world since birth, Jamie initially expressed
his fandom through musical performance, starting at the age of three. This
eventually led to his own solo career as a performer and recording artist in
his own right, and eventually an actor, songwriter, and audiovisual producer.
His song “You’re Mine Tonight” won “Best Rockabilly song of 2006” in the JPF
Independent Music Awards, and “The Sun Also Rises, Vol. 1”, the album it
came from, was a top finisher for “Best Rockabilly Album” of the same year.
His voice has been featured on countless products all over the world, and his
albums have had none other than The Jordanaires, “Boots” Randolph,
“Buddy” Harmon, D.J. Fontana, Bob Moore, Millie Kirkham, David Briggs,
Jimmy Capps, and many other legendary artists.

STORY
BIRTH AND REBIRTH OF THE ELVIS ARCHIVAL PRESERVATION SOCIETY
Initially, the EAP Society was formed from Jamie and a group of close friends who had the goal of getting together to enjoy and preserve Elvis history in any way
they could. That goal came a step closer when one of the initial members, Mark Shaffer, came across a never-before-heard performance by Elvis in Meridian,
MS, 1955. Jamie confirmed that it was unreleased, and helped get this to Sony/BMG/RCA for release on the FTD collector’s label, and eventually in a wider
public world-wide release “A Boy From Tupelo,” and thus the EAP Society helped save a piece of Elvis history for fans everywhere!
Now, the newly-formed 2nd iteration of the EAP Society broadens that scope, as Jamie and John put forth their YouTube channel and audiovisual podcast to
showcase and discuss Elvis stories, artifacts, and memorabilia, with the larger goal of preserving the memories and stories from that era to today - as well as
visual content and artifacts in the best quality possible for fellow historically-minded fans to enjoy. In addition, they will dive deep into multiple aspects of Elvis
history and fandom to uncover information many fans have never heard before, and bring a fresh perspective to both new and known parts of the Elvis world.
ALL WHILE HAVING A LOT OF FUN DOING IT - AND YOU’RE INVITED TO JOIN!

A fool never does.”
