NOTE:
Elvis Presley died on 8/16/1977 and his funeral was 8/18/1977.
Therefore, this Special Edition may have been
released on the morning of 8/17/1977 and re-released after his funeral on the morning of 8/19/1977 to include the funeral
photos.
The newspaper is dated 8/17/1977.
It may seem trivial to some but to Elvis fans, all facts are relevant.
Right??
This Special Edition is entirely devoted to the death of Elvis.
It has pictures of fans, the EMTs at Graceland, the funeral
and more.
This paper has some wear but it is in very good condition.
No bugs. No water marks. No breaks.
It is hard
to find this 42 year old paper covering the death of the King of Rock ‘n Roll.
Perfect gift for a Birthday or Special Day for that “forever”fan.
Fold at the middle and frame to help preserve this history.
Dimensions would be 12” X 15”.
Michael’s retail store
(arts & crafts) has 12” X 18” frames with a mat for less than with a plastic cover. But don’t forget to read the
complete issue first – just sayin’.
