Description
Elvis Presley Sun Studio 4 track 8" acetate EP is as seen. The recording is in VG++ condition and sounds fine with the expected lite background. The labels are as seen. It appears that this was recorded in 1955. These recording machines were known to be used in the Sun Studio I believe (see the paragraph below). It appears that somebody had one running during this jam session. There is no matrix info in the dead wax on either side as it should be and you have to manually advance the tone arm to the next track. This piece was in a major Elvis collector's possession for around 60+ years. I could only upload a one minute video. This acetate has to be one of a kind!

From Wikipedia:
"Elvis had initially attempted to record "When It Rains, It Really Pours" while at Sun Records in November 1955,[2] with Elvis and Scotty Moore on guitars, Bill Black on bass and Johnny Bernero on drums, but it was never completed as his contract with Sun was sold to RCA Records around the same time.[3] All the tapes of Presley's Sun recordings were handed to RCA as part of the deal, with most of them being included on albums released shortly afterwards. Presley's 1955 recording of "When It Rains, It Really Pours", however, was not released".

"The Recordio discs were a product of the Wilcox-Gay Corp., which began in 1910 as a small company creating radios and transcription recorders in Charlotte, Michigan. - In 1939 they launched the Recordio device which not only played records but also allowed the user to use a microphone that accompanied the player to record themselves onto a blank record — a "Recordio Disc". - The Recordio machine recorded at 78 rpm with decent fidelity. These machines also included an AM radio receiver. With this function you could record your favorite radio broadcasts to listen to time and time again. These machines were marketed to the middle class through such media outlets as Ebony and Life magazine. The player/recorder found its way into the hands of musicians, and Johnny Cash and Les Paul were known to use these devices. - The Recordio device itself sold 25,000 units, but with the Great Depression underway and the adoption of magnetic tape the Wilcox-Gay Corp. sales declined. In 1961 the company moved to Chicago and lasted two more years before finally declaring bankruptcy a second time and closing its doors for good in 1963."
