Elvis went in to audition for Sam, but Marion did the recording.



Elvis had borrowed the money from a school pal and gave him the disc.



it was not a gift for Gladys - Elvis and Ed Leek at Humes High:


It was astonishing when this disc was sold by Ed Leek' for inclusion on the 50s masters boxset ..

None of us would have heard it if Ed Leek had
not retired and approached RCA about finally
releasing the legendary song in August 1988.
Newspapers at the time reported how Ed had
rediscovered the disc that had been stored away in
a trunk for decades and thought it high time the
whole world heard this fascinating and historic
recording by a very young Elvis Presley.

and was more recently sold at auction to Jack White...
