January 11 - Rare Footage Auction, DVD And Global Charts

Elvis Presley graces the cover of the Cashbox Magazine ... well at least one of the two persons on the cover is Elvis Presley. 

Footage showing the moment Elvis and Priscilla Presley brought their baby daughter home for the first time is being auctioned in Wiltshire on January 16, 2010. The reel of 16mm film showing intimate family moments lasts for 17 minutes and is expected to fetch about £5,000. 

Among the other memorabilia from the Jimmy Velvet Collection is a guitar pick, with EP imprinted on it, which Elvis used for his final tour in 1977.
