Elvis' first guitar is for sale by auction. ATY has the exclusive rights to sell this historic rock-n-roll treasure and say they have all the authenticity needed to prove that this is the guitar that Gladys bought for Elvis for his 11th birthday from the Tupelo Hardware Store.

In 2002 a starting bid of $350,000 was not met during a Guernsey's Auction. On this occasion ATY advise us that they are wanting at least $4000,000.

You can bid by calling ATY on (877) 872-9777 in the USA.

Elvis Presley Video Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD

Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.

This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.

The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
