The first record Elvis Presley ever made has sold at auction for $300,000 (£198,000).
An unnamed buyer placed the winning bid online for the 78 rpm recording of My Happiness, the first time it has come up for public sale.
The auction was held at Presley’s former home Graceland on what would have been his 80th birthday.
Presley recorded the ballad in 1953 when he was 18-years-old.
He wanted to find out what his voice sounded like on record and paid $4 for the session to record My Happiness and That’s When Your Heartaches Begin onto acetate.
Presley was said to have made the recording partly as a present for his mother.
