4 -  78 RPM Records on SUN label. I would grade them between a V++ and an E-

1. Elvis Presley - "That's All Right" and "Blue Moon Of Kentucky" on SUN 209 - This is the record that   was said to have started "Rock 'N' Roll.

2. Carl Perkins - "Blue Suede Shoes" and Honey Don't" on SUN 234

3. Jerry Lee Lewis - "Great Balls Of Fire" and "You Win Again" on SUN 281

4. Johnny Cash - "Train Of Love" and "There You Go" on Sun 258

Four Artist that were once dubbed "The Million Dollar Quartet". All here, just not singing together. These 78's are immaculate for being over 50 years old. The "That's All Right" has a dark ring where the player evidently rubbed the label. They were handed down to me and have been well taken care of, as you can see. The pictures speak for themselves. I have looked at some others available, and there is no comparison. I have tried to do research and have posted what I found in this informative space I've been given. The first record that Elvis recorded for Sun was an accetate 'cause he was a truck driver that just came into the studio to do a record for his mother. Being an unknown they didn't record it on vinyl. Tell me these wouldn't be diamonds in someone's collection. Please see below:

The Million Dollar Quartet (session recordings)

On December 4, 1956, a year after Elvis had left Sun for RCA, he revisited Sun Studio. The afternoon became a jam session with Carl Perkins (then already famous for his "Blue Suede Shoes"), Jerry Lee Lewis (relatively unknown at the time), and Johnny Cash (not heard on the tapes, although he does appear on the cover photo). The taping was largely unintended by the quartet; they were just singing the songs they had in mind. About 40 titles are recorded, most of them incomplete. Elvis is caught telling about a singer he saw in Las Vegas, doing his version of "Don't Be Cruel", and they're enjoying "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" from Chuck Berry.
Recorded: December 4, 1956.

Ten songs, making five singles, were originally released on the Sun label. These records (in both 45 RPM and 78 RPM formats) are among the most valuable of Elvis' output, fetching (four) figures in excellent condition:
