De Belgische (Franstalige) fanclub Always Elvis is een van de meest nostalgische en gepassioneerde
\ninitiatieven rondom Elvis Presley in de Benelux. Het verhaal achter deze club weerspiegelt de enorme
\nimpact die The King<\/em> had op Franstalig Belgi\u00eb in de jaren 70, 80 en 90.<\/span><\/p>\n

De Oprichting en de Bloeitijd<\/span><\/h2>\n

Always Elvis werd eind jaren 70 opgericht door een groep Waalse en Brusselse diehard fans onder leiding van Fran\u00e7ois Geysen. Destijds was de Elvis-gekte in Belgi\u00eb verdeeld: Vlaanderen had sterke banden met
\nNederlandse initiatieven, terwijl Franstalig Belgi\u00eb een eigen, hechte gemeenschap vormde.<\/span><\/p>\n

Het hoofddoel van de club was simpel: de herinnering aan Elvis Presley levend houden in de Franse taal. De club groeide snel uit tot een officieel door Graceland<\/span> erkende vereniging.<\/span><\/p>\n

Het Clubblad: De Schat van de Verzamelaar<\/span><\/h2>\n

Het absolute paradepaardje van de fanclub was hun eigen fanzine, dat eveneens de naam
\nAlways Elvis<\/em> droeg. In het tijdperk v\u00f3\u00f3r het internet was dit tijdschrift d\u00e9 levensader voor
\nde Franstalige fans. Het blad blonk uit door:<\/span><\/p>\n

– Exclusieve vertalingen:<\/strong><\/strong> Artikelen en interviews uit Amerikaanse bronnen werden
\nminutieus vertaald naar het Frans.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Unieke fotosessies:<\/strong><\/strong> Veel edities bevatten zeldzame foto’s die fans onderling ruilden.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Verzamelaarsgidsen:<\/strong><\/strong> Gedetailleerde info over zeldzame vinylpersingen en bootlegs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vandaag de dag zijn deze vintage edities van het Always Elvis<\/em>-magazine gewilde
\ncollector’s items op platforms zoals Marktplaats<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

De Legendarische Belgische CD (1997)<\/span><\/h2>\n

Een van de absolute hoogtepunten uit de geschiedenis van de club vond plaats in 1997, exact 20 jaar na het overlijden van Elvis. In samenwerking met platenmaatschappij BMG\/RCA bracht de fanclub een
\noffici\u00eble, exclusieve Belgische CD-compilatie uit met de titel “Always Elvis – His Greatest Hits”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deze release was uniek omdat het logo van de Belgische fanclub prominent op de hoes en de cd schitterde. Het was een zeldzame erkenning van een platenmaatschappij voor het harde werk van een lokale fanclub.<\/span><\/p>\n

De Erfenis<\/span><\/h2>\n

Hoewel veel fysieke activiteiten en de druk van het papieren fanzine in de loop der jaren zijn afgenomen (mede door de digitalisering en de opkomst van wereldwijde platformen zoals de Amerikaanse Always Elvis Fan Club<\/span>), blijft de Belgische Always Elvis<\/em> een begrip. Het legde het fundament voor de sterke Elvis-cultuur die tot op de dag van vandaag in Walloni\u00eb en Brussel leeft.<\/span><\/p>\n
