I've seen a few photos from 1972..where Elvis is wearing a TURBAN on his head.He appears to be at a party with Dave Hebler and some children..Does anyone know anything about this??..Why was he wearing a turban?..Does anyone have access to these photos?? Supposedly there are between 8-10 photos that were taken..

I could be mistaken but I believe EP was attending a karate class with Hebler in California and made mention of the fact that he didn't wash his hair that day and it looked bad, thus the turban.
(looking at the photo) Yeah, that makes sense:rolleyes: :P :blink:Quote:

lol- maybe I'll try that the next time I'm having a bad hair day!!!!! :lol:
...think anyone'll notice?
Yeah, didn't Hebler say it was so hot and he was wearing this thick overcoat and turban and sweating profusely. Gee, I wonder how come :P And didn't he, again according to Hebler, do some kind of karate work-out that way? :hmm: I'm already perspiring just reading about it :blink: :P ;)Quote:

Hence, the Turban photos are from 1973.
The person to contact with the full story, for those burning to know - is the primary source of the pics - Hebler.
Caveat: if they were sold with copyright(s), you may not get all of the answers that you are looking for.
This is an example as to how unseen photos / EP personal items all have interesting (hitherto unknown) stories to accompany. It is also one facet of the appeal of these areas of collecting. One must be careful though, photos, by their very nature, can be copied, and rendered less "collectible." If they are truly unseen, one-of-a-kind images -------> they are worth their weight in gold & irreplaceable.
---------------------------
I think these pics. are direct evidence as to the bizarre side / world that EP was living in ........ on a number of levels. Just remember, what may be bizzare to some, is merely "eccentric" to others. EP was, if anything, the epitome of "Eccentric."
Personally, I'm embarrassed for EP, just looking at them ............... but that may just be me.

I found the magazin now, it was "Essential Elvis" issue 27 - march/april 2003.Quote:

It was also the first time Dave meet Elvis.
Can anyone blow up that badge he has on the turban ? I may be wrong but that turban style and badge looks a bit familiar to me and if it is what I think it is ....maybe I can explain it.
It may not be Karate but actually a religeous sect that perhaps gave that to E as an honour, much like the Red Indian Chief feathers he was presented with after doing Flaming Star.

Hi, here you can see much better "turban"-pics :clap:

Thank you, but sadly I cannot make out the badge any better.... :hmm:

Hard to say which one but probably the one of the moment. Doubt it is the DEA one.
I forgot these were on the Candid Central site!!..
Very strange indeed..Odd necklace that Elvis is wearing too...it does seem to have been taken in the winter months..( Dave Hebler and the other man are dressed warmly also)..
The turban pictures are from SEPTEMBER 1973, SEPTEMBER IS NOT WINTER :mad: OR IS IT.
Shit..... read the ***** post that people post man :angry: :angry:
You can also see the necklace on some pictures i have posted that are from Las Vegas august/September 1973

Kenny -
FWIW, ......... I for one take your word that they are from The FALL of '73.
'73 was definitely a given for me, ............... and I do thank you for clarifying the month.

Generally speaking:
When one is correct about something, ............. the silence can sometimes be deafening.

Also, my thanks for the link with the RARE pics. and of EP's rare necklace. An excellent example of a most-likely one-of-a-kind piece probably in private hands. There are other "unusual" necklaces that EP favored from 1973 on. Most, if not all, don't have any true insight into such details. Once again, jewelry is one reliable way to date pics.

But our man did not visit Scotland in the 70`s.
Hey, don't knock the turban, there were some worse fashion disasters than that in the 70's, it was the decade that tasteful clothes forgot !!!! :D :blink: :D
I can read..I saw the replies that implied that it was taken in September,1973..however..Quote:

photos #1:With Red West, Ed Parker, J.D. Sumner & Sonny West in Las Vegas February 1973
photo#2 :In his Las Vegas Hilton suite in February 1973(look at the necklace)
