Description
What we have here is a Record Store Day Only release with a limited amount pressed of a very unique exact replica of the very first acetate recording of Elvis Presley. John Anthony "Jack White" Gillis, founder of the band, "White Stripes", purchased the original acetate and publishing rights to the first Elvis recording in 2015 for $300,000, and decided to release a limited edition of the original. It comes unsealed in a plain brown outer sleeve. It is a 10 inch record that plays at 78 RPM only, but can be played with a normal modern stylus needle. It has all the crackle and pop of the original and sounds awesome. A must for any Elvis fan. RECORD STORE DAY 2015 news release: "We will also be doing the first-ever standalone vinyl re-release of the earliest recordings by Elvis Presley. The 10" 78rpm facsimile record of "My Happiness" and "That's When Your Heartaches Begin" has elicited what's quite-possibly the most interest and excitement of any of our Record Store Day releases ever. We'd expect nothing less for the King." Elvis Presley’s First Recording Acetate, 1953: " Likely the most important 78 mm record ever offered, this acetate was recorded by Elvis in 1953, possibly as a gift for his mother Gladys. Elvis walked into Sam Phillips’ Memphis Recording Service (home of Sun Records) and paid the sum of $4 to record a belated birthday gift for his mother — his first ever recording. Elvis sang two songs: “My Happiness” (Side A), which is the only Elvis recording that exists of this song, and “That’s When Your Heartaches Begin” (Side B)."
