Description

Available is a rare original Elvis Presley Sun 223 7", "Mystery Train/I Forgot to Remember to Forget." 7" is VG, with scuffs and several light scratches. There is a pressing defect on the side with "I Forgot to Remember to Forget" : the pressing on this side doesn't seem to be done evenly, causing the needle to slightly sway back and forth for the entire song. This causes a quick skip at the beginning of the song. Listen to each track from this actual 7", for reference:

Labels are relatively clean and look great. Matrix info is as follows:

  • Matrix / Runout (A side runout etched): 45-U-156X 20
  • Matrix / Runout (B side runout eteched): 45-U-157X 20
  • The “20” etched in the runouts is a bit higher than the rest of the numbers, it is less than ½ inch away.
PLEASE NOTE: In addition to the usual dead wax markings found on this 45, this record also has stamped into the dead wax on both sides what looks like “M.S.I CO” backwards.  This indicates that it was manufactured at the M.S.I. Pressing Plant in Philadelphia, which handled the overflow pressing orders from Sun Records in 1955.  This is a variation that does not show up as often as the local Memphis pressings.  Sun 223 is also the one 45 out of the first five Elvis Sun Label 45s that does not have the three “push marks”, because even locally Sam Phillips used a different pressing plant than he did for the other four records.
