December 1955, but no recording was done on that day

Elvis first went to RCA’s New York studio on Dec 1 in 1955, soon after signing with the label, but Scotty and the band did not record there until January 30 and 31 and February 3, 1956, while in town for their first two television appearances on the Dorsey Bros. Stage Show.

William “Popsie” Randolph, the pre-eminent paparazzo photographer of the New York music scene, was hired to shoot several publicity pictures. Through these pictures and those of photographer Al Wertheimer we get a good look at RCA Victor Studio A.

Stay tuned, more to come!
