Elvis Presley – Elvis Presley (1st Album) LP

Elvis Presley – Elvis Presley (1st Album)

Recorded between 1954 and 1956 in Nashville, New York and Memphis, the album was the first rock'n'roll album to make it to the top of the charts, staying there for 10 weeks and becoming the first million seller of its genre. In 2003, Rolling Stone listed it as the 56th best album of all time.

It began with a new singer with an unusual name, Elvis Presley, setting the rhythm on an acoustic guitar, a nimble lead guitarist, Scotty Moore, a down-to-earth drummer, D. J. Fontana, and a mischievous bassist, Bill Black, and together they made music that changed pop culture. The album opens with "Blue Suede Shoes", a powerhouse performance that would shape most of the albums that followed.
