From The Souvenir Stands
Beginning around 1972 Ed Bonja (Elvis' tour manager) started taping Elvis' shows at the sound board either directly from
Elvis' microphone input or from the recording booth output. As Ed tells it "I recorded many Elvis concerts from the
soundboard so that I would have tapes to play in my car when we were not on tour. I would document what songs were
sung, as well as any other pertinent information about each particular concert." The tapes were later given to Colonel
Parker and copies of the documentation sheets filed away both in the Colonel's files and the tour managers files. The
documents listed below are all original 1970's soundboard listings. Each is a typewritten letter size copy with Ed's
handwritten notes. Some are stamped either 'Presley File Copy' or 'Parker File Copy'. All come with an original signed letter
of authenticity from Ed Bonja.

This is a standard light blue scarf, hemmed on all four sides and bearing Elvis' screen printed
signature. However this scarf is special because it is soaked in Elvis' sweat and make-up. This scarf
was worn on stage for a considerable period of time and is one of the best scarves we have had. A
truly excellent example of a scarf that was used for the purpose it was originally designed - to soak up
Elvis' sweat. With LOA from the original recipient.

Colonel Parker Letters
The following letters were all mailed from Colonel Parker's Madison, Tennessee office in the 1970's to fans
wishing to keep abreast of Elvis' tour schedules and forthcoming releases. Each letter is a genuine 1970's
news update and not a modern photocopy. Many of these letters were thrown away over the years and as
such are very collectible. More can be found on our 1974 page.
