Catalogue Note

$1 in advance, $1.50 at the door, Elvis, Scotty and Bill

Elvis and two of his band, Scotty Moore on electric guitar and Bill Black on bass, have signed in full on the reverse. 1956 was a particularly busy year for Elvis, marking the first year of his signing to national label RCA and his first national number one, "Mystery Train" (the last of his landmark Sun singles). Existing film footage of this concert shows Elvis mania in full, with teenage girls chasing after his car once "Elvis has left the building."
