ELVIS PRESLEY'S 1st SUN #209! The MOTHER of Rockabilly here!

A complete set of Elvis Presley's five Sun issues.All originals and issued 1954-55.Elvis Scotty & Bill.THAT'S ALL RIGHT.This song was written and recorded by blues singer Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup (which version also can be heard/seen at my youtube site).Mr. Crudup also wrote two other songs that Elvis would record, My Baby Left Me and So Glad You're Mine.Elvis said in a 1956 interview for the "Charlotte Observer" newspaper in North Carolina, "...I used to hear Arthur Crudup bang his box the way I do now and I said that if I ever got to the place where I could feel all old Arthur felt, I'd be a music man like nobody ever saw. (HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW RIGHT HE WAS) "Elvis's first single release was in July 1954 - That's All Right with Blue Moon of Kentucky as the flip side. RCA re-released it on their label in December 1955 after they bought Elvis's Sun Records contract.But they added an extra echo, which is NOT to be found on these here original 45's. This is the original Sun Sound from 1954.Voice in beginning is Bob Neal, deejay at WMPS in Memphis and Elvis early manager at Sun Records.For acknowledgement, Scotty Moore was the very first manager of Elvis Presley at the early Sun era, the very first few month it was Scotty.

How can you tell a bootleg from the real deal? I have "Mystery Train" on sun.

[LynchburgSourMash]

@MrMaxxmo Look at the engraved trail-off. The distance between the "20" and the last digits is just under 1/2 inch telling you that this is an original and authentic copy. And also remember that Sun #223 never had any pushmarks in the label.

That's a great collection! Sorry to see that you have had a number of self-proclaimed vinyl experts telling you that you're wearing out your records and whatnot. I collect vintage records and play them as often as I would like, and I wouldn't have anyone telling me to do otherwise. I think it's meaningless to own such things without being able to enjoy them and share the experience and the history with others. Even Ferrari collectors take the cars out for a spin every once awhile. ;D Thanks!

Fantastic. Good job playing it on a record player similar to what it would have been played on in 1954.

[ElvisPresley1973]
