Description
"Blue Suede Shoes" is a rock and roll standard written and first recorded by Carl Perkins in 1955 and is considered one of the first rockabilly (rock and roll) records and incorporated elements of blues, country and pop music of the time. Perkins' original version of the song was on the Cashbox Best Selling Singles list for 16 weeks, and spent 2 weeks in the No. 2 position. Elvis Presley performed his version of the song three different times on national television. It was also recorded by Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran among many others.
This particular record is as clean as any version I've heard. It has no pops, no ticks, and what miniscule fuzz I heard may be the result of my barely-adequate record player and not the record. The only problem is the damn stickers! Why stickers? Ahh, it drives me crazy. If you like original Sun recordings in outstanding condition with extra frickin' stickers on the label then pick this one up! Buyer will include $5 for shipping. Thanks.
