Important partly-printed DS, signed “Elvis Presley,” one page, 8 x 5, January 10, 1956. Incredibly historic Radio Corporation of America employee's withholding exemption certificate filled out in another hand and signed at the conclusion in blue ballpoint by Elvis Presley. The document notes his full name, "Elvis Aron Presley" (the second 'a' crossed out—this version famously recorded on his birth certificate), his address at 1414 Getwell St. in Memphis, his social security number, and his number of withholding exemptions. In fine condition.
This document dates to one of Elvis's most legendary recording sessions—on this day, January 10, 1956, he made his first recordings for RCA Records at The Methodist Television, Radio and TV Studios in Nashville. ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ was one of the songs recorded during this session, and released as a single just seventeen days later. The single topped the Billboard Top 100 for seven weeks and became Presley's first record to reach a million sales. A remarkable document representing an important day in music history.
