Description
On Elvis Presley's Sun Records single, the song on the other side of "I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone" and "Baby Let's Play House", released in April 1955, marking Elvis's first hit on the national country charts and a key track in the invention of rockabilly, featuring his classic Sun sound with Scotty Moore and Bill Black.
*Back story* I went to Graceland in 1980 before it was a museum. I spoke with Uncle Vester at the gate. He called me “boy”. I was 20. I signed his visitors log and put in my address. He said not many Yankee boys visited! He said “ Go pay your respects”. There was one other couple visiting. People staring out the window of the house. The house shutters needed paint.
It was cool January day. The house was a mess. The pool was full of leaves. The horses were in the field in back of the white fence.
The record plays but has lots of noise either from dirt or scratches. It was purchased in Memphis in 1980. I haven’t played it in 35 years until this year. It has “3” push marks as the early Sun 45’s do.
The sleeve is new.
The photo is of Graceland I took January 1980.
The photo of Elvis & Ann Margret is from their movie “Viva Las Vegas”
The shadow box is newish.
I read this:
Feb. of 1955, Memphis Recording Service: Elvis Presley records this as the "B" side to "Baby, Let's Play House" to be released on Sun Records. It charted. This is the record that convinced RCA-Victor to drop $35,000 to buy Elvis from Sam Phillips.
This less known track is the best. Dig Elvis' Martin D-18 guitar opening, so cool. And Scotty's guitar licks, so unique for the time! John Fogerty sure thought so.
He picked up Scotty's licks (for "Bad Moon Rising" etc.) and used them for 30 years. Jimmie Lott on the drums, Bill Black on bass, Sam Phillps, recording engineer.
This is Keith Richards' favorite recorded electric guitar solo of all time.
Good luck to the winner of this auction!
