Elvis Presley is rightly called the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.  As a real Elvis fan, you love capturing your favorite historic moments from the life of the original American idol.  This coin preserves one of your favorite Elvis memories

Mystic has permanently bonded a vibrant image of Elvis to this uncirculated US Half Dollar.  The coin features an original photograph of Presley from his estate’s official archives and is officially licensed by Elvis Presley Enterprises.

First Radio Recorders Session

Elvis’ first session at Radio Recorders in Hollywood lasted from September 1 to 3, 1956. Upon arriving, Elvis immediately made his way to the piano and began warming up with “Blue Moon” and then a lively version of “Hound Dog.” His infectious singing and playing drew the band and backup singers into the studio and recording began shortly after.

Recording engineer Bones Howe later remarked how Elvis ran his own recording sessions, which was unusual for those days. He would pick the songs and change arrangements. All the major decisions were made spontaneously and nothing was really rehearsed ahead of time. Today most musicians follow Elvis’ model, which was unheard of at the time.

Songs that came out of this session included “Paralyzed,” “Long Tall Sally,” “Old Shep,” “Too Much,” “Reddy Teddy,” “First in Line,” and “Rip It Up.”
