Elvis Presley Comeback Television Special In-S
<B>Elvis Presley</B></I> <B><I>Comeback Special</B></I></B></I> <B>In-Store Brochure and Handout (Singer, 1968).</B></I> Elvis' first big television appearance in eight years was broadcast on December 3, 1968. The performances were remarkable -- in addition to big production numbers, there were informal "in-the-round" performances, where Elvis looked fit, tan, and sharp in his all-black leather outfit, and he really rocked the in-studio crowd as he "jammed" with original bandmates Scotty Moore and D. J. Fontana. The show, the highest-rated TV special of that year, was sponsored by Singer sewing machines, who produced these items as in-store giveaways. First up is a great 32-page 4" x 9" booklet, with a full-color front cover picture of the King, schedules for television stations and radio specials, movie lists, Elvis-related ads and more. It's in Fine+ condition. Next is a 6" x 3" card, printed red and black on goldenrod stock, with a cool close-up of Elvis and show information on one side, and a plug for Singer's "Touch & Sew" machine on the back. It's in NM- condition. Both items are tough to find, and essential for any serious Elvis collector.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
