Description

Original owner.  Memphis Shellac 1955 pressing of Elvis Presley with Scotty and Bill - “Mystery Train/I Forgot to Remember to Forget”.  Issued on Sun Records (223). Features hand-etched “Sun U-156 / U-157” with “20” identifier.  


  • Matrix / Runout (A label matrix): U-156
  • Matrix / Runout (B label matrix): U-157
  • Matrix / Runout (A runout etched): SUN U-156 20
  • Matrix / Runout (B runout etched): SUN U-157 20


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.
