ELVIS AS RECORDED AT EDDIE FADAL'S HOUSE - MAY 17, 1958

*** Recorded May 17, 1958 ***

While stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, Elvis used to pay almost daily visits to DJ Eddie Fadal, whom he have met in 1956, in Waco.
In one of these meetings, in the last days of his stay in Texas, shortly before returning to Memphis to then go to Nashville to record new songs, Elvis took Anita Wood to a birthday party at Fadal's house.
Eddie then turned on his recorder and recorded one of the greatest moments in the singer's amateur recording history during his time in the Army.
In it you can hear the King of Rock singing and playing the piano with his friends in more than 30 minutes of non-stop music.

Such a gem would be hidden from the world for a long time until it was released on an LP under the title "Forever Young, Forever Beautiful" by the bootleg label Memphis Flash, in 1978.
The record was very successful in the USA and attracted international fans, since the release of unknown recordings of Elvis were really rare in that period.
Over time, he would become a collector's gem.

Here we bring you Eddie Fadal's tape in its entirety. We hope you like it. Enjoy!
