Description

SUN # 256  SLIM RHODES  - 78 RPM RECORD  -  DO WHAT I DO/TAKE AND GIVE

You are bidding on an excellent example of a 1956 Sun Record out of Memphis, Tennessee. The legendary Sun label owned by Sam Phillips where Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash,Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Charlie Feathers, Billy Lee Riley, B.B. King and countless others walked across the threshold at 706 Union to make some killer recordings. Before Sam was knocking out Country and Rock-a-billy records he was listening to some great Gospel and Blues.

This is a nice record from Slim Rhodes and his mountaineers featuring Sandy Brooks on vocals. It sounds like Sandy is going Rockabilly and someone is filling in with a Chet Atkins style guitar solo.

LABELS- Very Nice. No writing, tears, stickers or other distractions.

PLAYING SURFACES: NOTE:There are tiny bumps on both sides of the record that undoubtedly happened while the record was being pressed, possibly over on Chelsea Ave. at Buster Williams Plastics Products. These bumps DO NOT affect play (not heard at all) but are visible, thus, in the spirit of full disclosure I mention it. Slight surface noise and I give this a conservative VG/VG+. It plays beautifully!

 No cracks, warps,labels or other distractions.  Keep in mind that I'm a collector, not a grading expert. This is a beautiful piece for the Rockabilly collector or Sun Completist!

NO RESERVE and the starting bid is 99 cents!  I will be listing 8- 9 other very nice Sun 78's records  on the same terms within the next 24 Hrs. so check back!You tell me what they are worth. Sure would love to keep the whole collection, but if you saw the basement, garage and storage area you would tell me to downsize. Also have dreams of buying my daughter an early Gibson "A" style mandolin for her birthday so it's time to raise some funds!!!

I prefer to ship USPS priority mail but am flexible.

Please pay within 24 Hrs. of auctions end.

We will ship overseas but the buyer will pay all costs.
