Description
This auction is for a very rare and hard to find Elvis Presley Sun Records 45.
It was his very first 45 on Sun Records and was recorded on July 5th 1954 by Sam C. Phillips at the Sun Studio in Memphis and was originally released as Sun 209 on July 19th 1954.
The record has been in the possession of it's present owner for over 37 years.
This original, highly valuable, SUN 1954 pressing of "That's All Right" and "Blue Moon of Kentucky" is the real deal. You can tell by the 3 push marks on the center of the disc coming through the original SUN label. The Matrix Numbers U-128-45-72 and U-129-45-72 are noticeable on the outer grooves. The method of distinguishing 1950’s Suns from the 1970’s Suns is to look at the last two digits of the serial number in the trail-off - the 72 on the first four Suns, the 20 on the fifth. On the originals, the last two digits are approximately ½ inch from the other digits. On the 1972 Suns, the distance is doubled, to just over an inch. It is those details that identify it as an original.
THIS IS THE REAL DEAL.
The labels on this auction 45 have no tears or mars. This record is a VG+!!!! Very good condition.
The titles are:
'That's All Right'
'Blue Moon of Kentucky'
All payments must be made with a Certified Check, Money Order or Paypal.
