RCA Records 15.5 x 22.5 promotional poster for ‘In the Ghetto.’ A rarely seen promotional poster. Poster announces “Elvis’ new single,” and incorporates an empty 45 rpm album sleeve. Framed to an overall size of 17.25 x 24.25. In fine condition, with some scattered creases to poster and sleeve. Elvis delivered one of his most emotional vocals to date in the sobering Mac Davis–penned song, ‘In the Ghetto.’ The social relevance of the songs theme of generational poverty, no doubt, aided the song’s ascent to the #3 position on the Billboard Singles chart. ‘In the Ghetto’ is considered Presley’s comeback single of the 1960s; the record being his first top ten hit in four years and coinciding with his return to the concert stage in Las Vegas.
