Title:   Self-Titled

Record Labe1/Year:  Sun #1230/1958    [561/562 pyramid symbol]  I believe this is a later pressing, but the debut album from 1958 - perhaps 1959?

Condition:     VG-  [album has scratches and playwear, some feelable, and will cause surface noise and intermittent pops during playback; the cover is in VG condition - has wear; namely corner bruising and light tears, with flaking on spine, as shown in photo; there are two tiny, about 1/4" seam splits at mouth of cover]

Comments:   When this album was released Jerry lee Lewis was embroiled in a scandal for marrying his 13-year old cousin, when he was 22.   His career plummeted, after this album. 

Jerry Lee Lewis (born September 29, 1935) is an American rock and roll and country music singer-songwriter and pianist. He is known by the nickname "The Killer" and is often viewed as "rock & roll's first great wild man." [1]

An early pioneer of rock and roll music, in 1956 Lewis made his first recordings at Sun Records. "Crazy Arms" sold 300,000 copies in the South, but it was his 1957 hit "Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On" that shot Lewis to fame worldwide. Lewis followed this when he recorded songs such as "Great Balls of Fire", "Breathless" and "High School Confidential". However, Lewis's rock and roll career faltered in the wake of his marriage to his 13-year-old cousin when he was 22.

Goldmine Record Grading Standards used to grade record's condition.  Records in less than VG+ or NM, will be listed with additional descriptions of it flaws.  All records are guaranteed to play satisfactorily.  If your record doesn't play as described, or is not rated according to the Goldmine Standards, returns or resolutions are welcome.   However, I do encourage additional questions, or requests for soundclips, if you're not comfortable with the grading standards used - in order to reduce incidents of returns.  

Grades:

NM -   A near perfect record - new/unplayed

VG+    Clean record, free of major flaws

VG      Record with physical flaws, but plays OK, perhaps with light surface noise

 VG -   More visible flaws than a VG record; but, still plays, with some noise; though, not overpowering

G+/G/Fair  - Records with more flaws than a VG- record [historical, collection fillers of DJ's, with noise reducing equipment]
