ELVIS PRESLEY - 1956 Magazine "Rock 'n' Roll Battlers" Bill Haley, Pat Boone EX+

Description

Rare 1956 fan photo magazine featuring Elvis, Bill Haley, and Pat Boone, the "Rock 'n' Roll Battlers". Not much of a contest, obviously, and they clearly knew it at the time, as this 'zine is predominantly Elvis. Lots of great photos I have not seen elsewhere, and some nice ones of Haley and Boone, too. In the back are some really great blurbs and photos of folks like Gene Vincent, Sanford Clark, LaVern Baker, Fats Domino, Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers, the Platters, and even the wonderful Nervous Norvus of Transfusion fame! But it is mostly Elvis. And this copy is in excellent condition. Clean and crisp edges with no corner dings or rips or flaking. Strong binding and perfectly clean pages throughout, with no edge fading or chipping. There is very light handling wear on the cover, but it really is very light. I'd say this is the best copy of this magazine I have ever found. Beautiful.
