Description
THIS ORIGINAL ELVIS SUN 78 WOULD EASILY GRADE EX+ OR BETTER WITH BEAUTIFUL SUN LABELS AND LITTLE TO NO SIGN OF PLAY - SAFE TO SAY IT WOULD BE AMONG THE FINEST EXAMPLES ANYWHERE BUT... THE RECORD HAS TWO EDGE CHIPS THAT REACH SLIGHTLY INTO THE GROOVE - ONE IS AT ONE O'CLOCK AND MEASURES ABOUT HALF AN INCH AND THE OTHER IS AT 9 O'CLOCK AND IS AROUND AN INCH AND A QUARTER.
THE PIECE ALSO HAS AN INTERESTING BACK STORY. A LADY BROUGHT THIS AND SEVERAL OTHER RECORDS INTO MY BRICK AND MORTAR STORE IN HOT SPRINGS. HER FATHER HAD PASSED AWAY SOME TIME BEFORE AND SHE WAS NOW GOING THROUGH HIS BELONGINGS - MUCH OF THE STUFF IN THE SHED WAS IN BOXES AND MANY OF THE RECORDS HAD SIGNIFICANT HEAT DAMAGE - THIS ONE SHE FOUND IN A DRAWER AND HAD SURVIVED ALL THESE YEARS EXCEPT FORE THE AFOREMENTIONED EDGE CHIPS - SHE ALSO TOLD ME THAT HER FATHER HAD KNOWN ELVIS WHEN THEY WERE KIDS BUT i HAVE NO DOCUMENTATION TO CORROBORATE THAT. I PUT THE 78IN A NICE FRAME WITH ANOTHER RECORD BEHIND TO FILL IN THE TWO BLANK SPOTS. IT PRESENTS QUITE WELL AND EVEN WITH THE CHIPS IS A FANTASTICALLY PRESERVED PIECE OF ROCK & ROLL AND ELVIS HISTORY. NO RESERVE.
SHIPPING IS $7.95 FOR THE CONTINENTAL U.S. - WE WILL SHIP OVERSEAS BUT ANY CUSTOMS FEES OR TARIFFS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER - CONTACT US FOR MORE INFO. ALL LISTINGS ARE ALSO FOR SALE AT OUR BRICK & MORTAR STORE AND SUBJECT TO PRIOR SALE.
