(Encapsulated PSA/DNA TYPE I) Offered is what may be the earliest Elvis Presley promotional photo from Sun Records. The 5 x 7 inch photo came out of a scrapbook found in Memphis, Tennesse, with other 1950's ephemera. Lightly embossed on the reverse are the words "Sun Recording Studio Memphis" and "Elvis"--as if the words were written on another piece of paper, such as an invoice or a note, that had been layed on top of the photo. The designation by PSA/DNA of "TYPE I" indicates this is a photograph printed from the negative in the period the photo was taken. Sun went through several incarnations of promotional photos for Elvis during 1954 and 1955, but it is unclear whether this photo was ever put into circulation. The photo has some minor tape along the borders that does not affect the image area at all. Well-preserved Near Mint condition.
