Description

BEAUTIFUL MEGA RARE ELVIS PRESLEY SUN RECORDS SUN 223 MYSTERY TRAIN/I FORGOT TO REMEMBER TO FORGET.

COMES WITH ORIGINAL SUN COMPANY SLEEVE.

THE RECORD IS IN FANTASTIC CONDITIONS, AS SHOWN ON THE IMAGES. THE LABELS ARE SHINE AND CLEAN ,THE VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITIONS, NO MARKS, SCRATCHES, YOU WON'T FIND A BETTER COPY.

BUT WHAT MAKES THIS SINGLE UNIQUE IS THAT THIS IS THE  REAL 1ST PRESSING PRINTED IN JULY 1955.

THE REGOLAR ISSUE WAS DISTRIBUTED  IN SEPTEMBER 1955 BUT THE FIRST RUN OF "MYSTERY TRAIN" WAS MADE FROM A DEFECTIVE MASTER. SO SAM PHILLIPS ASKED ALL THE DEALERS TO DESTROY THE STAMPERS AND THE RECORDS MADE, WAITING FOR THE REPLACEMENTS.

THIS IS THE FIRST PRESSING NUMBERED 45-U-156/45-U-157 WITHOUT THE "X". THE REGULAR AND COMMON VERSION IS NUMBERED 45-U-156X/45-U-157X, AND THIS WAS THE COMMERCIAL RELEASE.

THIS ONE ON SALE IS THE REAL 1ST RUN OF "MYSTERY TRAIN". THE STORY BEHIND THIS RECORD IS CLEARLY WRITED ON THE CARBON COPY FROM SAM PHILLIPS' OFFICE, THAT IS ALSO ON AUCTION. THIS LETTER WAS SENT TO SAM HODGE OF PARAMOUNT RECORD MANUFACTURING COMPANY, AMD THE LETTER TELLS ALL THE STORY. THE LETTER IS THE ORIGINAL CARBON COPY FROM SAM PHILLIPS' OFFICE, AND AS FAR AS I KNOW IS THE ONLY ONE THE SURVIVED

A FANTASTIC SET WHICH IS A PIECE OF MUSICAL HISTORY.


PLEASE E-MAIL FOR ANY QUESTION. I ALWAYS COMBINE THE SHIPPING COST SO PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY OTHER ELVIS ITEMS ON AUCTION.

DUE TO THE HIGH VALUE I'LL SHIP THIS RECORD AND THE SUN LETTER ONLY BY EXPRESS AIR MAIL THAT WILL COST $ 55 TO USA, LESS IN EUROPE, MORE TO FAR EAST AND AUSTRALIA.

PLEASE DON'T SEND THE PAYMENT ACCORDING THE AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED EBAY INVOICE, OF COURSE  I CANNOT SEND A RECORD WORLDWIDE BY REGISTERED AIR MAIL AT THE COST OF $ 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE DON'T SEND THE PAYMENT UNTIL YOU'LL RECEIVE MY INVOICE.   THANK YOU.
