💿 DESCRIPTION A true piece of music history: an original 1955 Sun Records pressing of Elvis Presley's fifth and final single for the label. Side A features the definitive rockabilly anthem "Mystery Train" (Parker-Phillips), while Side B is the country-tinged "I Forgot To Remember To Forget" (Kesler-Feathers). This is the 78 RPM format with the classic yellow Sun label. Notably, this copy is an East Coast pressing, identified by specific runout markings, distinguishing it from the standard Memphis pressings. 💎 CONDITION shellac: very good (V) COVER: NONE 🧾 NOTES FOR COLLECTORS

  • Pressing Plant: This copy features the "MSI CO" stamp in the runout, identifying it as pressed by M.S.I. Company in Philadelphia. Sun Records utilized this plant to meet high demand on the East Coast.

  • Collector's Status: Often considered a "sleeper" rarity among Sun collectors. While many focus on the standard Memphis "push-mark" pressings, these East Coast contract pressings were produced in smaller quantities. They are frequently missing from serious collections, making this a unique opportunity to own a harder-to-find variant.

  • Authenticity: The combination of the hand-etched matrix numbers and the "MSI CO" stamp confirms this is a genuine vintage pressing from the era.
