Elvis Presley 1st Recording 1953 Sun Studios Elvis Presley Autograph Signed Sun Sleeve Replica My Happiness / That's When Your Heartache Begins MINT 45 rpm - 7" New Reproduction On July 18, 1953, Elvis Presley went to the Memphis Recording Service at the Sun Record Company, now commonly known as Sun Studio. He paid $3.98 to record the first of two double-sided demo acetates, "My Happiness" and "That's When Your Heartaches Begin". Presley reportedly gave the acetate to his mother as a much-belated extra birthday present, although many biographers suggest that Presley simply wanted to get noticed by Sun owner Sam Phillips. These suggestions are strengthened by the fact that the Presleys did not own a record player at the time. That one-off acetate has since been valued at $500,000 by Record Collector magazine.
