Looking for the photo from Elvis Presley Boulevard album...
Hi all,
New to your forums here.
I've been searching high and low for the photo from the cover of 'From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee'.
We all know the one and it's probably one of my favourite photos of Elvis.
I believe the photo was taken at a concert in Memphis on June 10th 1975, but I'm not 100% sure.
Here's the image I'm looking for but it's too small - http://jeffdroke.com/Vacation/1975_june_10.jpg
I wanted a full size, high quality version for my own purposes - possibly to have printed as a large poster to be framed for my house.
No commercial use etc.
However, I'm having trouble finding one anywhere, all I can find are small sized versions or poorly edited ones.
Would be incredibly grateful if anybody could help with this request.
Thanks

Re: Looking for the photo from Elvis Presley Boulevard album
I'm a big fan of that particular album too, very emotive.
Just wondering, you wouldn't happen to have a higher resolution of the photo would you?

Re: Looking for the photo from Elvis Presley Boulevard album
If you compare the original picture with the LP cover, you can see the work done on it to make Elvis slimmer. They took quite a few pounds off.
I think the Elvis in Concert LP cover was similarly re-touched.

Re: Looking for the photo from Elvis Presley Boulevard album
Don't feel bad...for the longest time, I thought it was from June 10 as well, mainly because in the "Walk a Mile In My Shoes" box set, that's what the caption for the picture said, but it's been since proven incorrecthilton22000 wrote:My mistake, the photo is, indeed, from June 2.

It's funny to see that the picture of this poster does not have photoshop on Elvis waist. Unlike the version of the album coverVEGAS74 wrote:This is the poster sold at concerts.....ICanHelp wrote:Great photo, and also a poster on my bedroom wall when I was a kid.jessewade wrote:welcome on board

I am pretty sure I won mine on the Boardwalk at Seaside Heights (no Jersey Shore jokes please). Very cool.

Re: Looking for the photo from Elvis Presley Boulevard album
What do people want? There are complaints because too many pictures are well known, and there are complaints that well known pictures aren't present. I'm very much looking forward to "Elvis Files 8 - the all things to all men edition." Just 500 blank pages, internet links to thousand of photographs, a Canon inkjet printer and a pack of paper with a note attached that says, "I'm sick of trying to please everyone, you see if you can do any better."jessewade wrote:you're welcome

Sorry Erik, if you are reading this. Please disregard any previous criticisms I may have made, I'm just now starting to realise what a bunch of whiny little babies you are having to cope with.

Re: Looking for the photo from Elvis Presley Boulevard album
If there's ONE well known picture which should have been in volume 7 that's the one, that's it, there's no "whining" here After reading your comments about Lorenzen in the "elvis files vol. 7" thread, your comment makes little sense, reallyThe Pirate wrote:What do people want?

I think what he has learned, is that it is possible to get a hell of a lot of money from Elvis fans regardless of the quality of the product. I have complained about a couple of FTD titles in the past, but overall the quality control and value for money is vastly superior to The Elvis Files. I genuinely regret ever having bought them, and if postage costs weren't so outrageous I'd sell the lot if I thought I could get back what I paid.

Re: Looking for the photo from Elvis Presley Boulevard album...
Old topic and came across it by coincidence but have to reply.
Its one of my favorite pictures from the 70s as well and I do have a framed poster
of it on my wall as we speak
Its 70cmx100cm in size.
The sharpest image of this picture that I have seen to this day is in the booklet for the LP box size edition
of the 70s box set from 1995,only downside is that there is some text there so picture isnt "clean"

Re: Looking for the photo from Elvis Presley Boulevard album...
One more iconic stage-photo... The photo-shopped version has him trimmed a little but... look above his belt But I think "the real one" is great as well
