Kiss Loves You, Django Reinhardt, Edwin Starr, Elvis Presley, The Fall and Jon Anderson Latest Releases From MVD Visual

KISS LOVES YOU:
Ten years in the making, KISS Loves You is a film that began back in 1994 when the band KISS was at a career low and KISS fans around the world were starting tribute bands, uniting at unofficial KISS Conventions and growing increasingly more nostalgic for the 70's era classic KISS line-up. The zeitgeist exhibited at these conventions was not lost on the band and in 1996 they responded, rising up like a grease painted phoenix into a new era of success. On the surface, KISS fans got exactly what they longed for, but for some the return of their idols brought unexpected consequences. KISS Loves You follows a few KISS fans along the way.

Bonus Materials:

• Never before seen silent Super-8 film of KISS in Stockholm 1976.
• Extended footage from the 1996 KISS Press Conference on the USS Intrepid.
• The Beyond Vaudville Kiss Spectacular Program
• 90 minutes of Outtakes from the film

Django Reinhardt's music still looms as the standard to be attained some 50 years after his death.

EDWIN STARR - STORY:
Here for the first time on DVD is The Edwin Starr Story, narrated by Edwin himself together with valued contributions from Lillian Kyle (Edwin's Manager), Angelo Starr (his brother and leader of the band) and Ian Levine (top Northern Soul DJ and songwriter). This 108 minute music rockumentary weaves the tale of Starr's life through music and words, from his early Motown days to the UK disco and Northern Soul scene, from Wigan Casino to the Twisted Wheel, and demonstrates why he was affectionately renowned to be "the nicest man in show business". As an integral part of the soul, Motown and dance floor scene from the mid 50's until his untimely death in 2003, Starr had a string of major UK hits including S.O.S, Twenty Five Miles, War, Happy Radio, Contact and I Have Faith In You.

ELVIS PRESLEY - DESTINATION VEGAS:
To mark the 30th anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley, this unauthorized critical review uses previously unseen private footage of Elvis Presley, and classic original songs, to tell the story of the King of Rock 'n' Roll. Many documentaries have told the story of the early life of Presley, his army career or his death, but Destination Vegas is the first and definitive documentary to tell the story of Elvis's residency in Vegas, a town that was to become synonymous with him. Using previously unseen and unknown private footage, we peel away from the facade of the formal camera to explore a defining, yet controversial chapter in Elvis' life, which not only stifled him, but also defined him as the superstar that he would forever be known.

Bonus Materials:

• Recordings of private and public conversations Elvis had around the Vegas years • Elvis photo gallery
