Backstage pic holding trophy
Looking through some old fan club mags and this one caught my eye. Not often seen.

That's not 1969 (as the caption for the picture suggests). That's from late August, 1970. Watch "Elvis: TTWII - The Complete Works" and you'll see Elvis wearing this suit.

You're welcome. His sideburns and hair are a dead giveaway that the photo isn't from 1969.R2-D2 wrote:Cheers Tony. Thanks for correcting that.
EDIT: I also wonder.....what is that award he's holding (and I'm not talking about the girl!)

Re: Backstage pic holding trophy
Correct, AlohaEagle., the girl is Judy Cherry and the other girl is Yannick Gomez (Tom Diskin's girlfriend).
Edit?: Although your last photo is from 18/02/70 as opposed to August 1970.
Great photos BTW guys, thanks.

Re: Backstage pic holding trophy
Yeah I know, the photo in question is already dated as the 18th February underneath the shot, I was just using that particular shot to show a Judy Cherry comparison between the two photos. You're welcomejon_burrows wrote: Although your last photo is from 18/02/70 as opposed to August 1970.

He looks fantastic in this suit. Wish he had made that a staple of his stage shows........AlohaEagle wrote:Got these in my files as August 22 1970 with fan Yanick Gomez, and a few alternative shots :

Re: Backstage pic holding trophy
I got those photos as August 24, 1970?
I wonder which is the correct date.

I read comic books and I was the hero of the comic book
And I saw movies and I was the hero in the movie
So every dream I´ve ever dreamed has come true a hundred times.

Re: Backstage pic holding trophy
OK, I just saw one of the photos for sale on Ebay as August 24, 1970 but I don´t doubt Judy Palmer so I´ll change my photos to August 22, 1970.Barbie wrote:I got these pictures from Judy Palmer away back in 1970 and August 22, 1970 is what she has written on the back of the photos...........................
I wish I had bought all her photos when she was around selling her photos back then. She had so many great photos.
