Undated 1968-1969 Photos
Posted: September 23rd, 2025, 12:20 pm
So many candids during the 1968-69 span (outside of comeback special/Vegas/Hawaii/Bahamas) remain undated. Many have either rough dating or no date at all. I've compiled a list of photos over the years that fit this criteria and have tried to figure out when they may have been taken.
Here are a few of them that I peg to mid-late September, 1968 (could possibly be early October as well). The reason I have dated these during this period is based on his sideburns. For a period of time following end of Charro production and beginning of TTWG production in October, 1968, Elvis wore distinctly different sideburns than he had before and would after. They were longer, with the point of the sideburns pointing downward instead of across. The following photos feature E with sideburns that are distinctly more groomed than the long sideburns Elvis wore in early September in LA before going back to Memphis (there are two sets of photos of him signing autographs in the car dated 9/3/68 and 9/4/68 in which his sideburns are more pronounced in photos nd not as shaped- with pretty thick sideburns for that time).
There are a few other photos from this time estimated time period that I will share later but here are some earmarked for this mid-late '68 time frame.
Would love to hear any feedback, actual dates, or any more pictures from this period, please feel free to share!
