Elvis Presley
Repress on clear vinyl. Elvis Presley's self-titled debut album forever changed popular culture on release in 1956, its
earthquake aftershocks still felt some 65 years later. Gritty adaptations of Carl Perkins' 'Blue Suede Shoes,' Ray
Charles' 'I Got A Woman' and Little Richard's 'Tutti Frutti' helped make it the first rock'n'roll album to top the
Billboard charts, where it remained unchallenged for a full ten weeks. The iconic cover image with its distinctive
lettering, showing Presley brandishing his acoustic guitar, helped embed the instrument in rock mythology too, indelibly
changing how we conceive of the genre and its axemen. Elvis Presley proved that our hero was already the undisputed King
of Rock'n'Roll, just as he still is today.
