The record
Title: Elvis Presley – Elvis Presley
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1956, Rock, Rock and Roll, Memphis, TN
Condition: New
Cultural Facts:
-
Band Drama: Manager Colonel Tom Parker locked Elvis into unusually manager-friendly terms over time (including a 50/50 “partnership” later), keeping Elvis on a constant domestic work cycle while Parker controlled the business perimeter.
-
Business Moves: Elvis never toured internationally; a major reason was Parker’s inability/unwillingness to travel abroad (linked to his undocumented Dutch past), so Elvis’ career was steered into U.S.-only TV, films, then Vegas.
-
Legal Trouble: Elvis’ decline wasn’t “rock excess” alone—prescription culture and enabling doctors became the pipeline; Parker and Elvis’ father tried at points to curb access, but the machine around Elvis kept finding new supply.
-
*Elvis's Daughter later married Michael Jackson's Daughter. Unfortunately, their kids didn't become that cool.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
