Jack White Plans Special Release For Elvis Presley's First Recording

. (Radio.com) Jack White is one of rock's quirkiest figures but he took that unofficial title to a new level last month. In early January, when the only copy of Elvis Presley's first ever recording, "My Happiness," sold for $300,000 at a Graceland auction, no one knew who the buyer was.
