Vintage circa 1972 Elvis Presley ‘Tour Photo Album’ program released by RCA Records, 16 pages, 8.5 x 11, signed and inscribed on the first page in blue felt tip, “To Mictihell [sic], from Elvis Presley.” In fine condition, with light handling wear.
Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the aunt of the original recipient: “In the early 1970's I was married to the son of Dr. Benjamin Blank and living in Beverly Hills, California. At that time, Ben was the doctor looking after Elvis Presley at MGM Studios. My father-in-law had been the doctor at MGM throughout the 50s and 60s and also looked after Judy Garland, Richard Chamberlain, and other stars of that period. At Christmas time, I recall Ben receiving watches and pre-Castro Cuban cigars from Elvis, who was extremely generous to those around him. I met Elvis on one occasion at the salon of the iconic tailor Dougie Heyward who was making a suit for my husband, he was very polite and addressed me as 'ma'am'! During this time, my younger brother in London (Mitchell) had his thirteenth birthday and Ben had arranged for two signed catalogs from Elvis (both signed to Mitch) but one being for me, which I have kept for all these years.”
