HQ 1961 Hawaii show photos not in "RATB" FTD

#1395455

Post by Greg1995 »

Fantasic shot. This one is quite rare. Taken from original negative. It's a pity it didn't make to "RATB" book.
I have aquired huge amount (literally hundreds and hundreds) of photos unseen, rare and known (childhood-70's) in HQ like this or even better (candids and proffesional photos)
(many of them seems to be complete events like: Milton Berle rehearsal, Ed Sullivan rehearsals 1956 and 1957, The Knickerbocker Hotel photoshoot, Tampa 1955-1956, "I Want, I need You..." recording session, 68 comeback special ,1969 press conference and loads of more!) taken from original negatives etc.
all in HQ quality, some of them best ever.
Will be posting some of them soon! Stay tuned!
Enjoy!

This is a nice image, but it doesn't appear to be sourced from the original negative. It may also be cropped.

No, it is not cropped (maybe very good early copy if not from negative).
It's the best quality elsewhere.
This is another version (quite poor)
that is on the net and you can clearly see it's all that's in the picture. :smt002

As you can see in the second version you posted, the first photo could not have come from the original negative. The original negative would show that lei in mid-air.

It's not a lei, but actually the scratch on the image.
The second one is visible in down section of the photo. :smt002
How could you miss that? :D

This one is also cool, however the background seems to be washed-out:

Scratched or lei, the first photo would need to be much clearer to have been processed from the original negative. Thanks for sharing it, though. I first saw it as part of a wonderful gate-fold booklet included in the 1978 Golden Archives deluxe LP release of 3-25-1961 show. It was the "scratched lei" version they used. ;-)

That is a lei in mid-air as Doc noted and also a pile of lei on the floor in front of Elvis' feet which is cropped out on the bottom of your first photo. I can do an overlay to show you exactly how much of the photo is missing at the bottom but the visual here in the second photo is satisfying enough to see the differences.

It is not a scratch in the second photo, the first photo has been edited to remove this lei in mid-air and the additional lei on the floor.

It's unlogical that you believe the definitely more poor version of the photo more
which doesn't even have backwards details with old lady sitting behind, table, roof details etc. - just deep black area.
Just hilarious...

I suppose I'm confused why someone would edit a lei in a photo, however looking at the photo you have posted with the superior quality, it would seem that the poorer quality image has been altered at some point... In today's modern era of photo shop this stuff can be done in a heartbeat, older photo's less so. The question is why would someone edit the lei in?

..which is irrelevant to your first cropped and edited photo. :wink:

Because they didn't - they edited it out,. or you can just believe it to be a scratch as Greg1995 :roll: .
