Collecting Elvis Presley's original Sun recordings is truly collecting pieces of history, and real history can be expensive. Not surprisingly, then, Presley's first released recording, 'That's All Right'' (Sun 209), for the independent Sun label in Memphis, continues to be a chip investment for anyone who has a spare $3206-$4007 for a Near Mint 45rpm copy. But although ''That's All Right'' will always be the Holy Grail of early Elvis artefacts, because of its historic position, it's not the most rare of his five Sun singles. His third release, ''Milkcow Blues Boogie'' (Sun 215), is definitely the scarcest, though it's hard to see where Elvis was heading with his rockabilly version of Kokomo Arnold's slow bottleneck blues from the 1940s. Starting with an out-of-tempo recitative passage before stepping into gear, Presley's cut of this musical tale about a disappearing source of income could nowadays clear your bank account to the tune of around $3206 - $4810. As he gained popularity, the slightly more musically compact and commercial – and, therefore, better seller at the time - ''Mystery Train'' (Sun 223) remains Elvis' easiest Sun release to acquire, still hovering between $2000 for a very clean copy.
