Jack White and the First Elvis Recording

In 2015, Jack White anonymously purchased the one off copy of Elvis Presley's first recording. This is the story of how that two-song record came to be, how White acquired it, and what happened next. It's a fascinating story of secrecy, mystery, and good business decisions.

This episode of Poetic Wax digs deep into music history and lore, exploring a sixty-year journey from 1953 to 2015, and concludes on a recent moment in White's career with the release of his new album No Name in 2024.
