Elvis - A Lighted Candle

[Rainbow Light]

Sun" reproduction acetates being released: In mid November there will be a 100 % reproduction of the two acetates that Elvis did in 1953 and 1954 be released. Both acetates will be exactly like the original ones.

In August 1953 a very young Elvis Presley walk into the local Memphis Recording Service. He paid $4.00 to record two sides and get them home with him on a one of a kind two sided acetate. The songs were the ballads My Happiness and That’s When Your Heartaches Begin. Elvis probably hoped that Sam Phillips (the owner of Memphis Recording Service and the founder of the local record label Sun Records) would pay attention to him and that he might get a chance on being invited for a real recording session. Sam wasn’t there that day but Marion Keisker who at that time worked for Sam did the recordings and noted that Elvis was a great ballad singer.

In early 1954 Elvis still haven’t heard from Sam so he decided to go back and pay another $4.00 to record two more sides. This time did he record two more ballads titled It Wouldn’t Be The Same Without You and I’ll Never Stand In Your Way. Nearly the same happened again. In other words Marion was impressed and saved a copy for Sam, but Sam wasn’t. It would take nearly another half year before Sam decided to call the young kid Elvis and invite him in for a try-out and a possible recording session. The rest is history.

For the first time ever will a reproduction of both pre fame Elvis Presley acetates be available in their originally form. Both are made on a 10” vinyl record that will play at 45 rpm. The labels are exactly like the original primitive ones. There will only be produced a limited amount of 300 copies of each record. This will be a one of a kind and unique chance to own an exact copy of two of the most historical records of modern music.
