Very Fine Folded
Las Vegas Hilton/RCA Records, 1972

This massive 30 Sheet comprises ten pieces that create a single poster image. It's a billboard promoting Elvis Presley's 1972 Summer Festival in Las Vegas that reads "Elvis/ Summer Festival/ Now Thru Labor Day/ Las Vegas Hilton/ Hear Elvis on RCA Records and Tapes." This hotel was significant in Elvis' life as it was the site of his record 636-show run from July 1969 to December 1976. From the Collection of Jason Newsted, who is a huge Elvis fan and the former bassist of the iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Fame heavy metal band Metallica.

Folded poster is in great condition with only minor crimping and creasing to the edges. There is some sporadic corner chipping and pinholes and some staining and writing on the verso, but the overall image itself is bright and intact.
