Has been in a frame for about 40 years. Plays with no skips. Side A plays beautifully; Side B has slight hissing (see video). Label is in excellent condition. Original sleeve is very worn.
Dad says that when he ordered this record in 1955 from Sun via his local record store, the manager told him that she’d heard of Elvis Presley and that he’d probably never amount to much.
Cross-posted. Local pickup available in Charlottesville, VA.
