Elvis Presley 1956 Management Contract

Written by Administrator

This is a very important piece of memorabilia, sold at auction in June 2010 for a staggering USD $25,000 against an original estimate of USD $4,000- $6,000. Hard to imagine a more significant contract between artist and manager in the history of popular music, save for Brian Epstein's link up with the Beatles.

Elvis and Colonel Tom Parker's original 1956 Management Contract. Enjoy !
