Description
One of the architects of rock & roll, Carl Perkins is best known as the writer and original singer of the rockabilly anthem "Blue Suede Shoes". Carl Perkins was one of the seminal rockabilly artists on Sam Phillips' Sun label. Carl Perkins created a body of work that has been both critically acclaimed and extremely influential on songwriters, guitar players, and singers alike. He kicked off his musical career in the mid-'40s, performing at local dances with his brothers Jay and Clayton as the Perkins Brothers Band. In 1954, after hearing Elvis Presley's debut Sun single, "Blue Moon of Kentucky" (a Bill Monroe song Perkins and his group had been playing since 1949), Perkins and his brothers drove to Memphis to audition for Phillips. Shortly thereafter, they signed to the label and released Perkins' first single.
From July or August 1955 comes the Carl Perkins hit single, #224 "Let The Juke Box Keep On Playing" (Perkins) and "Gone, Gone, Gone" (Perkins). This particular record is in good condition, with little signs of wear. There are no visable scratches. There is a slight mark on one side. There is a price stamp on one side of the label. No record playing equipment is available to play or test the record prior to its sale. The record does not come in a Sun Record envelope but comes in a plain brown paper sleeve. This record would be a nice addition to a Sun Record collection or it could be put to good use in a 45 RPM juke box.
