Jack White has now spent a whopping $300,000 on Elvis Presley's first ever recordings.
Jack White
Revealed as the highest bidder on the lot at an auction, his identity was originally kept a secret, but now he's been announced as the person who owns the covers of 'That's When Your Heartaches Begin' and 'My Happiness' on 78rpm acetate, originally recorded by Elvis when he was 18 years old, back in 1953.
Now Jack is reportedly planning on making sure the world can hear the songs, originally hits for Ink Spots in 1941 and Jon and Sondra Steele in 1948 respectively. Billboard claims that Jack will release them through his label Third Man Records on vinyl for Record Store Day on April 18.
Elvis - who passed away in 1977 - released his final album 'Moody Blue' just one month before his death, although a number of posthumous releases have been put out since, including a remixed version of his 1968 track 'A Little Less Conversation' which topped the charts for Dutch musician JXL in 2002.
