SUN # 270 JIM WILLIAMS - 78 RPM RECORD - PLEASE DON'T CRY OVER ME/THAT DEPENDS ON YOU
You are bidding on an excellent example of a 1957 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 and whoever walked in off the street.
This is a great example from Jimmy Williams in his only release on Sun! There is some nice guitar/vocal work on this one. Very cool release. If anyone has more info. on this artist I would love to hear it.
LABELS- Nearly Perfect. No writing, tears, stickers or other distractions.
PLAYING SURFACES: VG+/NM The Please Don't Cry Over Me seems to have slightly more surface wear than the other. Very light surface noise. Some very light scratches. As with many Suns it plays well. No cracks, warps,labels or other distractions. Keep in mind that I'm a collector, not a grading expert. Some people would look at the labels and the surface and declare it a Mint, but I played it once.. which takes a Mint designation away and there are signs of very slight wear. 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 a few 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!!! Some people told me I'm crazy for starting these scarce, nice pieces out so low. So be it. If the shoe fits...wear it!
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.
