On July 18, 1953, Presley went to the Memphis Recording Service at Sun Record Company, now known as Sun Studio. He paid $3.98 to record the first of two double-sided demo acetates, "My Happiness" (old tune) and "That's When Your Heartaches Begin." Presley gave the record to his mother as a birthday present. I found this info on Wikepedia, but it was confirmed when I recently took a guided tour at Graceland and found out first hand.
