Review of Sun Studio

Very interesting tour of the studio where Elvis originally began his recording career. They have maintained the historic quality of the studio and even have the actual recording booth with the original equipment right down to the acoustic tiles used during Elvis's recordings. They have original music by Elvis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and others. You really learn a lot about Elvis and his early days. They have even rescued the original DJ booth where the singers were interviewed and their albums played on the radio. The tours begin on the half hour and last about 45 minutes and tickets cost $16.00. The only negatives are that the tours are packed and it can get extremely warm in the building. There are also 2 sets of steps that have to be navigated. Another interesting fact is that Sun Studios is still an actual recording studio and you can rent the space for 5 hours at $1000.00.
