My Happiness Acetate for sale at Graceland Auction II
 
Following the highly successful Auction at Graceland during Elvis Week 2014, music fans and pop culture collectors from around the world will once again have the opportunity to own a piece of history with a January 8, 2015 auction surrounding the annual birthday celebration at Elvis Presley’s Graceland in Memphis. 

All 68 of the genuine Elvis artifacts from third-party collectors offered in the auction have been thoroughly researched and evaluated by Graceland Authenticated, which sets a new standard for pop culture authentication to ensure pop culture artifact accuracy.

The Auction at Graceland has quickly become the go-to source for authentic Elvis collectibles. Some of the signature items up for bid on January 8, 2015 include:

“My Happiness” Acetate - Considered part of the “Holy Grail” of artifacts in rock ‘n’ roll history, Elvis’ first-ever recording is a 78 mm acetate produced at Memphis Recording Service (home of the Sun Record Company) in June of 1953. Elvis paid $4 USD for what was said to be a gift for his mother. It features the songs “My Happiness” (Side A), which is the only Elvis recording that exists of this song and “That’s When Your Heartaches Begin” (Side B). The Presley family didn’t actually have a record player, so Elvis took the acetate to the home of friend Ed Leek, who did, where he listened to the results of his first studio recording session. Elvis left the acetate behind at the Leek home and never gave it to his mother. This historical 78 acetate was the beginning of a revolution in the music industry and the start of an iconic legend. In private hands since it was created, Elvis’ first recording is being offered for the first time since Elvis walked into that Memphis studio over 60 years ago.

Warhol Image of Elvis Fetches US $81.9 million
 

Two iconic Andy Warhol paintings of Elvis Presley and Marlon Brando sold for more than US$151 million at auction in New York on Wednesday, shattering pre-sale estimates by several million dollars. Pop-art legend Warhol’s “Triple Elvis” – a 1963 silkscreen depicting three images of the King of Rock and Roll posing as a gunslinging cowboy – sold for US$81.9 million at the Christie’s sale.
The striking seven-foot tall work, derived from a publicity still for the 1960 Don Siegel-directed Western “Flaming Star,” had been estimated to fetch US$60 million. The final sale price topped out at more than US$20 million above the estimate after six minutes of frenzied bidding.
