Wow...this was the first album I ever owned, and from the first pressing in 1958. And I still have it. It sounds like shit from playing it to death on the Silvertone portable record player the parents got me.



This was the first piece of vinyl I ever bought, though. It was 1956, I was 10 years old. I walked three blocks over to the Sears at the corner of Harlem and North Ave in Chicago with 80 cents in my pocket that I saved up for it. This I do not have anymore. And I never bought anything else by Elvis.



Guess I'm old.

My first two albums were The Best of the Bee Gees (pre disco) and Revolver. Revolver still gets regular play.

I got to appreciate Elvis after he "stole" my R&B singer Smiley Lewis "One Night".

Thanks for this.

After that one Elvis purchase I began to change directions. My listening taste moved to people like Fats, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Frankie Ford, Eddie Cochran, and Jerry Lee Lewis...and Smiley Lewis too.
