ELVIS PRESLEY
SUN RECORDS 78RPM #215
Back in the days when Elvis Presley was playing for $200 a night in little road house gigs and high school dances across the south, his first records were released by Sun Records in Memphis. Once he crossed over into the big time by signing with RCA, Sun was forbidden from running up any more of those first five singles. Through the years, they've become the most sought-after of Elvis' recordings, both for their rarity, and the primal rockabilly that is within their grooves.
This record has him doing a great version of "Milkcow Blues Boogie" paired with the up-tempo "You're A Heartbreaker." The record was his third single and was released January 8th of 1955.
This SUN REISSUE record came from the warehouse of Florida dealer Richard Minor. In the mid '70s he was the #1 source for rare records- because he was buying out supplies of unsold records- and because he also bought unused labels and pressed up "new" copies of vintage gems that look, feel and sound just like the originals, except that this IS PRESSED ON PURPLE VINYL NOT SHELLAC. In many cases the record was reproduced so well that it looks like the real thing. If he couldn't find it, he simply pressed up some to sell to meet the demand for the rare record.
