Description

A GREAT COLLECTOR'S ITEM!

THIS IS THE HOLY GRAIL FOR ELVIS COLLECTORS AND ROCK'N'ROLL. AN ORIGINAL COPY OF SUN 209 'THAT'S ALL RIGHT/ BLUE MOON OF KENTUCKY' BY ELVIS PRESLEY. THIS COPY WAS PRESSED IN MEMPHIS AND ISSUED IN JULY 1954, THE FIRST RELEASE BY A NEW SINGER CALLED ELVIS PRESLEY. COPIES OF THIS IN ANY CONDITION ARE HARD TO COME BY.

I have put several photos for you to see of this 45. The record has a lot of fine surface wear through plenty of use over the 50 years but still retains some sheen. I gave both sides a spin on my dansette, It plays with the Sun 'hiss' and some background noise and a few pops, the sound depends on the stylus as these 45s were crudely pressed 50 years ago without the modern stylus in mind! However the sound is clear with the typical Sun hiss subdued. Noticed a few minor pops on Blue Moon side. However any Sun 209 45 is really not for playing but for owning. This copy has a Blue Moon of Kentucky label without any stickers, writing or major tears and so would display well. The That's All Right label has two initials in felt. Both labels have normal wear through playing over the 50 years.

Now for the details: This 45 has the 3 'push' marks of the first 4 Elvis Sun 45s. Trail-offs u-128-45 72 andu-129-45 72 with the 1cm gap between the 45 and 72 as it should be. I've held plenty of Sun 45s and this is absolutely right. You might be able to see the push marks on the pics although the labels have little wear they are not too clear.

There we are, I've tried to describe carefully and in detail. Pleased to answer any questions or supply more pics. Always a money back guarantee if not happy. There is a 99p start as always!! and no reserve so a chance to own a piece of music history. The very best of luck to all bidders.
