Experience the earthquake that shook popular music in 1956. Join Listyn KC for a deep dive into Elvis Presley’s self-titled debut, featuring the raw energy of his early RCA and Sun Records sessions. We’ll explore the birth of the legend followed by playing an original pressing provided by our friends at the Marr Sound Archives.

This landmark release captures the exact moment rock and roll captured the mainstream imagination. Our introduction will trace Elvis’s transition from the local Memphis "hillbilly cat" to a national phenomenon, highlighting the transition from Sam Phillips' minimalist production to the more polished, yet still dangerous, sound of RCA’s Nashville studios. We’ll discuss the pivotal role of the "Blue Moon Boys"—guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black—whose slap-back echoes and stinging leads provided the frantic DNA for every rock band that followed.

By listening to the record from the explosive opening of "Blue Suede Shoes" to the haunting, ethereal "Blue Moon," you’ll hear the seamless fusion of country, R&amp;B, and gospel that defined the genre’s first true masterpiece. This session offers a rare chance to hear the sheer physical power of Elvis’s early vocals without the later Vegas sheen, highlighting why these twelve tracks remain the blueprint for youth rebellion. Whether you are a lifelong fan or a newcomer to the King’s catalog, hearing this mono recording on a high-end system reveals the grit and spontaneity of a young artist rewriting the rules of the American songbook in real-time.

All of this great music will be played on The Listyning Room's world-class stereo system featuring Audio Note, Klipsch, and Cambridge Audio.
