Description
THIS VERY RARE AND HARD TO FIND 78 WAS THE FIRST RECORD RELEASED BY ELVIS ON THE SUN RECORD LABEL # 209 FROM MEMPHIS TENNESEE. IT WAS ISSUED ON JULY 19TH 1954, AND AS IT IS THE FIRST RECORD BY ELVIS IT IS THE ONE MOST WANTED BY COLLECTORS, AND THIS IS ONE THAT YOU WOULD BE PROUD TO OWN AND SHOW TO FRIENDS. IN THE TRAIL OFF AREAS IT SHOWS THE FOLLOWING (U - 128 - OK - #72) ON SIDE 1 (THAT'S ALL RIGHT) ON SIDE 2 (U - 129 - 2- #72 - OK) (BLUE MOON OF KENTUCKY). THE CENTER LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND THIS RECORD SHOWS PLENTY OF GLOSS AND SHINE, WITH SOME LIGHT SCUFFS AND SCRATCHES, BUT THAT GREAT ELVIS MUSIC STILL PLAYS WITH EXCELLENT SOUND ON BOTH SIDES FOR A RECORD THAT IS NOW "53 YEARS OLD". GRADING IS ALWAYS SUBJECT TO CRITICISM AS WE ALL SEE THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENT, SO I WILL BE VERY CONSERVATIVE AND GRADE THIS AS A VG TO A VG+. THERE IS A RESERVE ON THIS ITEM, BUT MUCH LOWER THAT THE TRUE VALUE. (BOOK PRICING SHOWS $2000 - $3000). These Collectable 78's are getting very hard to find anymore, and the good ones are quickly becoming scarce. This 78 is from one of the large collections of Rock & Roll and R&B 78's that I have recently purchased, and it would pay to mark this site as one of your favorites as there will be plenty more to come. REDUCED SHIPPINGS COSTS ON MULTIPLE ITEMS. Payment will be by Money order (No U.S. GREEN postal money orders) all others will be fine, Pay Pal, Bid Pay or cash in a registered letter. Proper shipping will be $16.95 in the U.S. and Canada. Shipping to Europe will be $18.95 for surface shipping or $44.50 for Air Mail.
