Cliff Richard didn't record his first single until 1958, and the "Young Ones" wasn't recorded until 1962. I'd hardly call that early rock and roll.
US rock and roll began with Bill Haley and His Comets in 1953, and their "Shake, Rattle and Roll" (1954) was the first rock tune to top the charts in both the US and UK.

There are many candidates for the title of the first rock and roll record, but it is arguable whether any such thing exists. Like all forms of music, the roots of "rock and roll" are deep and wide. But it is clear that rock and roll developed during the period between 1916 -- when the words "rockin' and rollin'" were first heard together on record -- and 1956, by which time "rock and roll" had become an international musical and social phenomenon.
Rock 'n' roll was an evolutionary process -- we just looked around and it was here... To name any one record as the first would make any of us look a fool.
