Terrific original 1955 souvenir Country Music Picture Album, 11 x 8.25, 56 pages, signed in blue ballpoint on the title page by the then 20-year-old Presley, “Yours, Elvis Presley.” Book is also signed by approximately 50 more artists, including Scotty Moore, Bill Black, June Carter, Tex Ritter, Roy Rogers, Ray Price, Jim Reeves, Hawkshaw Hawkins, Marty Robbins, Slim Whitman, Grandpa Jones, Webb Pierce, Homer & Jethro, Faron Young, Ernest Tubb, and Chet Atkins, with many also adding brief inscriptions or sentiments. In very good condition, with covers detached from text block and with partial separation along spine, light scattered soiling, collector’s ink notations to back cover, and mild handling wear.Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from noted Elvis expert Rich Consola.
The bigger stars in the book are afforded single page status, with other pages bear up to 20 images. On March 19, 1955, Presley, guitarist Scotty Moore, and bassist Bill Black were packed into a rose Cadillac with Tennessee plates, blasting through a Sun Records tour that had taken them through Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas. They arrived at Eagle Hall to play the Grand Prize Jamboree, marking a return engagement after their first appearance at the venue on New Year’s Day. On the 19th, the bill included Hoot Gibson and Tommy Sands, and with Biff Collie as MC, Elvis Presley, wearing a chartreuse coat, white pants, black shoes, and a bright red shirt trimmed in navy, took the stage with his band from 12:30-1:45 and played to a crowd of 200. This prolific, unique country music program manages to capture a pre-King Elvis on the cusp of rock and roll greatness.
