Souvenir picture album promoting Elvis Presley with the Blue Moon Boys, 8.5 x 11, signed twice in black ink by Presley, once on the front cover and once on the back cover, both of which bear his image. In fine condition, with light scattered toning. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from Roger Epperson/REAL. Program was signed on February 12, 1956, the day after Elvis performed his RCA Records debut single, 'Heartbreak Hotel,' for the very first time on CBS-TV's 'Stage Show.' After this appearance, his third in as many weeks on The Dorsey Brothers 'Stage Show' program, Presley and his Blue Moon Boys proceeded to Norfolk, Virginia, for a concert the following night at the Monticello Auditorium, the first of five successive dates in Virginia and North Carolina. Prior to the show, a Norfolk policeman, who was on duty working the event, was able to usher his daughter through the crowd for a brief, private encounter with Elvis: the result of that meeting seen on the front of the program. After the performance, however, she waited in line for another meeting and autograph, at which time Elvis signed the back cover of the program. A remarkable piece from a momentous time in Presley's career. RR Auction COA.
