Ep 1. Rick 'n' Roll

Rick 'n' Roll is the first episode of season 8 in the popular reality TV series, Pawn Stars. The show is set in Las Vegas at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, which is owned by the Harrison family. The series revolves around the family's business of buying and selling a wide variety of items, ranging from historical artifacts to collectible cars. In each episode of the show, customers bring various items into the shop, hoping to make a deal with the pawnbrokers.

In Rick 'n' Roll, the Harrison family and their team are back to business and are ready to evaluate a new group of potentially valuable items. The episode starts with Rick Harrison, the shop's main proprietor, receiving a pair of specially customised boots that belonged to the legendary singer Elvis Presley. The boots have been authenticated and come with a Certificate of Authenticity confirming that they were Presley's. The seller is asking for an enormous amount, and Rick will have to decide whether they are worth the price tag or not.

Later, Corey "Big Hoss" Harrison, Rick's son, brings in a unique piece of music history, which turns out to be a recording tape related to a famous rock band. The tape is said to have been recorded in a basement studio before the band signed their first record deal, and only a limited number of copies were produced. The tape is likely to interest music collectors and enthusiasts alike, and Corey hopes to make a substantial profit from the sale.

The third item featured in the episode is an antique African chair, which captures Rick's attention. It is a unique piece of furniture with intricate designs that might be worth a significant amount of money. However, the seller is seeking an astronomical price, and Rick needs to do thorough research to decide if it's worth the risk.

In Pawn Stars, there is always room for something unusual and unexpected. In this episode, the pawnbrokers order an old barber chair from a man who has converted it into a makeshift hog-tying bench. Although it is an unusual piece, the team sees the potential in it and decides to offer a price.

Throughout the episode, fans of the show get an in-depth look at the pawnbrokers' day-to-day operations, their negotiation tactics, and the process of buying and selling valuable items.
