Hi pelvis,
Hope you enjoy your stay here.
Is this LP in your collection ?
Please show some more from your rare vinyl.

I like to know what the story is behind this signed album?
Was it done in Vegas, or Memphis, or...?
Is it your own, or bought from another collector?
When you have the time, Mr. Pelvis...?
Thanks in advance.

hello ger
we know eachother verry wel do you remember the old day with jerry lee lewis in 1989
and back on elvis conventions I collect more then34 years elvis on vinyl world wide.

Yes, I do remember the JLL concert back in 89, but haven't figured out
yet who you are? One of the 2 Oss lads?
I'll contact you soon, when Im finished writing my new Gary Pepper story,
part 3. Pretty kool the number of Dutch fans/collectors on Spinnin' and
I Gotta Know these days! We outnumber all other nationalities... HA!

Hey Pelvis,
Don't wanna be a bad-ass, but....are you sure this autograph is real???
It doesn't look like it, to me....
Please don't shoot this poor dutchman...i'm just quessing

Also....you have to be VERY carefull with autographs from Bad Nauheim. There's plenty of fake autographs from that era.

AND plenty of REAL ones !

hello ger I,m not a lady back you signed also couple from you great picture books from elvis in the 50,s
I know gerard zuman verry well and hans langbroek. we talk about unreleased material that the have in the

I'm sorry but the autograph looks fake. Been collecting Elvis many years and have come across many autographs and have studied Elvis' signature. There are some publications out there that really break down his style as it changed over the years but this one doesnt look good. Also as Ger pointed out, many from Bad Nauheim or the Army years are not real. There was a fantastic forgerer about 5 years ago and a bunch of fakes flooded the market and fooled even the experts. You can read about it if you do some internet searches. Again, I am sorry but a good authenticator should confirm what I am saying.

Correction, r&b.
US Male made that remark about the fake authographs, earlier on.

But yes, Im aware about the countless fakes floating around...I was a
victim myself once. Hard to determine what is real, and what is fake.
Ive seen authographs I would personaly not touch with a ten feet
pole...but in the end turned out to be the real deal.

The story is even worst....last year i was in Bad Nauheim and met a man who lived there all his life. He sold pics of G.I. Elvis, and signed them personally with Elvis autograph, and it looked exact like a real Presley authograph. I was stunned. I asked him, if i gave him a free beer ( and remind you...those beers are huge in Germany ) he would sign an Elvis autograph for me. That was ok with him, and out of the blue i had an 'original' Elvis autograph. He sold those fakes for lots of Euros! Now......that's better for making a living than working from 9-5
