Again, a wonderful magazine...how i wish to go back in time to find all these magazines in the paper stands - reading today a magazine like this is like i'm there, in the middle of Presley controversy.
Thank you very much, what can i say, just...keep 'em coming, please

PS: do you have the back cover, too? Because on the lase page we can read "if this picture doesn't prove that Elvis looks like a Greek god, then look at the back cover of this magazine"

Ah, yes. It´s this familiar photo. I didn´t want to post this, because the quality is bad as you can see. But here it is.

Superb, as always, thank you.

Great images!

You Rock the fool!
Reading these old mags are so nice!

You are very welcome, George. And you, too, the person who has lost the letter "d" from his name. I appreciate your comments.

This is just like I feel. My favourite Elvis period is 1968-72. I adore Elvis´ voice of the 1960-63 recordings. He sang like an angel. The 50´s have always been somewhat distant to me. I mean, I understand that was the time Elvis shook the world. I know how important and influential those recordings were. But I was not there. I was born in 1965. I have to rely on other persons telling how great Elvis was back then. And these 50s magazines are a great way to experience part of that. It really was a different world back then.

Fun stuff! The piece is just something for the girls, but the photos are a treat.

First of all, who doesn't love seeing baby Princess Leia (AKA Carrie Fisher), born October 21, 1956, on the cover with mom Debbie?

And, even more exquisite, we have a previously-unknown live shot of Elvis, performing in Houston at the Sam Houston Coliseum on October 13, 1956!

Wish we had the unedited image. Still, this IS rock 'n' roll!

Thanks, The fool.

Here's the unedited image, but, unfortunately, it's cropped.

Thanks. The image in the magazine is reversed. Fixed that.
