Photographer: William V. ‘Rd’ Robertson
The album that changed everything, and a photograph that captured Elvis on the cusp of greatness. It doesn’t come much cooler than that. The photograph was taken at the Fort Homer Hesterly Armory in Tampa, Florida, on July 31, 1955, with Elvis aged just 20. He was towards the bottom of the bill, but he wouldn’t be there for long as this album, and the accompanying cover – arguably the world’s first tangible image of a rock ‘n’ roll star – propelled him to immortality.
