ELVIS PRESLEY
"MYSTERY TRAIN" b/w "I FORGOT TO REMEMBER TO FORGET" 1955 US ORIGINAL RCA RECORD PREVUE 47-6357
ELVIS' FIRST RCA RECORD, RELEASED IN DECEMBER 1955 AFTER THE SUN PRESSING MADE A HUGE IMPRESSION ON THE SOUTHERN CHARTS & MARKETPLACE. THIS WAS THE RECORD THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR COLONEL PARKER TO FINALLY PERSUADE A MAJOR LABEL THAT ELVIS WAS DESTINED TO BE HUGE. ACTUALLY, IT WAS "I FORGOT TO REMEMBER TO FORGET" THAT MADE THE COUNTRY CHARTS AND PUT ELVIS ON THE NATIONAL MAP. "MYSTERY TRAIN" WAS, AT LEAST IN THE BEGINNING, THE B-SIDE, ALTHOUGH TODAY IT IS RECOGNIZED AS A ROCKABILLY MASTERPIECE.
THIS IS ALSO THE FIRST WHITE LABEL PR0M0 OF AN ELVIS RECORD, AND THIS TITLE WAS THE ONLY ELVIS SINGLE ON RCA THAT CREDITED SCOTTY & BILL AS THEY HAD BEEN ON ALL SUN SINGLES.
THIS RECORD IS IN POOR IF NOT PITIFUL CONDITION, BUT IT IS SO RARE THAT I COULDN'T BRING MYSELF TO PITCH IT. FOR ANYONE TRYING TO ACCUMULATE THE RAREST OF THE RARE BUT THWARTED BY THE ECONOMICS OF THE DAY, THIS MIGHT SUFFICE, AT LEAST AS A STOP-GAP PIECE.
CONDITION DETAILS:
- LABELS ARE SOILED & STAINED WITH A GREEN LINE THROUGH THE BOX ON THE 'MYSTERY TRAIN' SIDE.
- "FORGOT" SIDE HAS A SMEAR OF SOMETHING ABOUT MID-WAY THROUGH THE SIDE, PERHAPS A STREAK OF OLD GREEN PAINT, THAT RUNS WITH THE GROOVES AND CAUSES A HISS AS IT GOES AROUND BUT NO SKIPS
- PLAYING SURFACES HAVE A LOT OF PLAY WEAR, SCUFFS, SCRATCHES, AND THEY BADLY NEED A GOOD DEEP CLEANING.
- PLAYS OK WITH SURFACE NOISE AND BACKGROUND NOISE
OVERALL POOR BUT PLAYABLE CONDITION
EXPECT A WINNER'S NOTICE DIRECTLY FROM US VIA EMAIL WITH ALL CORRECT SHIPPING OPTIONS & COST FOR THIS ITEM.
ATTENTION! NO PAY PAL! SEE OUR INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH AND/OR SELLER'S PAYMENT INTRUCTIONS FOR ACCEPTABLE PAYMENT METHODS. IMMEDIATE PAYMENT REQUIRED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH & GOOD LUCK!
