\nThe 78 RPM acetate was made as gift for his mother Gladys. Elvis left it at a friend\u2019s house when he stopped by to listen to the track because the Presley family did not have a record player. It has since been kept safe by the friend\u2019s family.
\n\u201cI\u2019m hoping that somebody who loves Elvis Presley and is a huge Elvis Presley fan and who can appreciate the record … ends up with it,\u201d said Lorisa Hilburn as quoted by The Associated Press. She inherited it from her late uncle Ed Leek, the singer\u2019s friend.
\nEd Leek tried to sell the record in the 1980s, but it never changed hands. It is in original condition and is still playable. It also has been authenticated. Elvis paid the studio $4 to cut the track years ago, and now it\u2019s being auctioned with the starting bid set at $50,000.
\nOther items being sold at the auction include a gold and diamond necklace the late King of Rock N\u2019 Roll gifted to his staff at Graceland, a copy of \u201cThat\u2019s All Right\u201d he autographed for his friend Ed, and customized watch that has a Star of David and Christian cross which symbolized brotherhood in his entourage.
\nAlso being sold this month are Elvis Presley\u2019s two private planes. One is a refurbished Convair 880 jet named after his only daughter Lisa Marie Presley, and the other is a Lockheed JetStar named The Hound Dog II, a less opulent plane purchased by the singer to take him on his trips while the Lisa Marie was being revamped. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
