Description
78 RPM RECORD BY ELVIS PRESLEY (WITH SCOTTY AND BILL) PERFORMING: "MYSTERY TRAIN" AND "I FORGOT TO REMEMBER TO FORGET" (SUN RECORDS 223). HERE IS ONE OF THE LEGENDARY ELVIS RECORDS ON THE SUN LABEL, JUST PRIOR TO HIS FAMOUS RCA VICTOR HITS. SUN WAS A SMALL LABEL, BASED IN MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE AND ONLY SOLD IN LIMITED NUMBERS. ELVIS IS MORE "EARTHY" AND LESS COMMERCIAL AS COMPARED TO HIS RCA VICTOR RECORDINGS. THE DISC HAS MANY SCUFFS AND SOME LIGHT SCRATCHES BUT PLAYS ABOUT "E-" DUE TO THE LOUD LEVEL THAT THE MUSIC WAS RECORDED AT IN THE STUDIO. THE SURFACE NOISE AND ANY DEFECTS ARE BARELY NOTICABLE UNTIL THE AFTER THE MUSIC STOPS AT THE END OF EACH SIDE. THERE IS A WARP OR BUMP AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF EACH SIDE REQUIRING A BIT OF EXTRA WEIGHT TO BE PLACED ON THE TONE ARM. I WAS ABLE TO PLAY THE RECORD WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM USING FOUR GRAM PRESSURE. ONE IS AWARE OF THE BUMP FOR ABOUT THE FIRST TEN SECONDS BUT IT DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE ENJOYMENT OF THE MUSIC. STARTING BID IS $9.99. SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE R & R AND R & B.
