An original cardboard window card advertising Elvis Presley making a homecoming appearance "Tonight Only" at the Mississippi-Alabama State Fair in his birth city of Tupelo, Mississippi on Friday night, September 27, 1957.

This was just three days after RCA Records had released his latest #1 single, "Jailhouse Rock." Also included in this lot are primitive but exciting paper documents used to get accurate information about the show out to the press and public.

Old records show that this poster was printed by Hatch Show Print out of Nashville, TN, and then sent up to Tupelo by Greyhound Bus. What a quaint and exciting trail of provenance.

It all adds up to a great package for collectors of the King of Rock 'n' Roll. The poster measures 13 5/8" x 21 3/4" and grades to Very Good condition.
