A supergroup* of Elvis Presleys visited the Money Shop on Edgware Road recently to deliver a 6ft lifesize bronze statue of The King. The statue is the prized possession of businessman and Elvis fan, Sid Shaw, who has pawned the statue to help finance future musical projects. The Elvises treated passers by and Money Shop customers to impromptu versions of some of the King's hits including blue suede shoes and hound dog. They were also raising money for the Lynda Jackson Macmillan Centre. The loan will help Sid free up some much needed cash to finance two exciting rock ballet projects including an Elvis show called The 3 Elvises and global venture Dancicals in collaboration with the Peter Schaufuss Ballet Company (www.schaufuss.com). Sid who owns 38 Elvisly Yours registered trademarks in the UK and EC and the rights to Elvis Presley after defeating Elvis Presley Enterprises (EPE) in the UK high court and court of appeals, turned to The Money Shop after being refused financial help by his bank. He was inspired by similar stories of business people unable to secure finance from traditional lenders and attracted by the ease and convenience of using a pawnbroker. The statue was created by the revered sculptor Jon Douglas in 1981, when he was 76 years old. It has had a colourful history with showcases across Europe and worldwide publicity. It has moved between Sid's London Elvis shops over the last 30 years. * Unofficial collective term for multiple Elvis Presleys
