RCA Records 56 x 33 promotional store standee advertising the soundtrack of ‘Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite.’ A very scarce promotional item for this historic event, the RCA Records promotional roll-out for ‘Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii’ began within days of the broadcast, with a rush-release exclusively in the new ‘quadraphonic’ sound format coming just two weeks after the concert. Certified gold by the RIAA almost immediately, on February 13, 1973, the LP became Presley’s first #1 album since 1965’s Roustabout. Broadcast on January 14, 1973, from the Hawaii International Center, ‘Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii,’ still stands as the most watched broadcast by an individual entertainer in television history, viewed by an estimated 1.5 billion people worldwide and costing $2.5 million, a record at the time. Despite the satellite innovation, the United States did not air the concert until April 4, 1973 (the concert took place the same day as Super Bowl VII). Reinforcement to reverse of horizontal fold, some edge dings, some vertical creases to lower portion, a few areas of surface loss, and light rubbing, otherwise very good condition.
