Description

Truly one-of-a-kind: Elvis and his companion Natalie Wood serendipitously sign his 1956 album during a visit to a Memphis eatery

Elvis album signed on the front in blue ballpoint by Presley, “Yours, Elvis Presley,” and also signed by Wood, “With love, Natalie Wood.” In very good condition with clean separations along three sides, edge chipping, tape repair along the edge, and scattered creasing and surface scuffing. The record is not included.

According to the consignor, this album was signed on November 1, 1956 in a Memphis restaurant. The original owner was seated at the counter when Presley approached and asked if the seat next to him was taken. The man had just purchased the presented album, and asked Presley to autograph it for him. The King then asked the man if he would like Wood to sign it, giving him a hug as well. Elvis also picked up the original recipient’s tab. Accompanied by an unsigned photo of Presley and Wood. A remarkable item backed by wonderfully anecdotal provenance. Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.
