David English e Pal Granlund forniscono il dietro le quinte definitivo sulla creazione del film della MGM "Jailhouse Rock", in cui Elvis Presley è stato protagonista insieme a Judy Tyler.
In questa edizione da collezionisti sono compresi 2 libri con copertina rigida, in cui viene analizzato il percorso dalla sceneggiatura alla proiezione del film, 3 CD ed un singolo 45 giri.
Il primo libro, dal titolo "The Making Of Jailhouse Rock - The Movie" è composto di 365 pagine e mostra nuove fotografie recentemente scoperte, dettagli sulle scene cancellate, pagine della sceneggiatura, appunti, contratti, ricordi del cast e della troupe.
Il secondo libro, dal titolo "The Making Of Jailhouse Rock - The Music" è composto di 85 pagine piene di documenti, fotografie e dettagliate informazioni relative alle session, tra cui dettagli di una session di incisione alla MGM recentemente scoperta.
Nei 3 CD sono contenute tutte le sessions di incisione remixate per la prima volta dai nastri originali ed in ordine di registrazione.
Inoltre viene ufficialmente pubblicata per la prima volta la versione completa strumentale della canzone "(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care", nella quale Elvis Presley suona il basso.
Il singolo vinile 45 giri è uno speciale oggetto da collezione, sulla cui copertina è stata ricreata l'immagine del singolo di Vince Everett "Treat Me Nice", come la vediamo nel film.
