Elvis Contract For Sale

November 28, 2001 | Other
Recordmecca, a premier website for high-end collectible records and music memorabilia is offering for sale Elvis Presley's first-ever agency contract, priced at $40,000.00. The previously unknown contract is one of the rarest Presley documents ever to come on the market.

Dated January 31, 1956 -- the day after he recorded "Blue Suede Shoes" and 3 days after his first national television appearance-the William Morris Agency agrees to rep Elvis as an actor. It was so early in Presley's career that the agency's typist mis-spelled his first name, which had to be corrected.
